Speak from the heart.
Design: YourTango: Aislinn Walker from The Aislinn Walker Collection On May 5, 2025, the Moon in Cancer squares Mercury in Aries, affecting each zodiac sign's daily horoscope. If careless, your emotions could take the wheel while your thoughts scramble in the backseat. The urge to speak from the heart is strong, but Aries' bold Mercury might push you into a knee-jerk reaction — a quick text, a sharp comment, a decision made on impulse.
This square will throw you into emotional turbulence, but if you can pause, take a breath, and ground yourself, you might find that the rush of words was less about the other person and more about what you're still trying to process. You can have restraint and not act on every feeling; sometimes, the power lies in waiting until the storm subsides.

Your zodiac sign's horoscope for May 2, 2025:
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Design: YourTango
Your desire to move things is strong, but there's something deeper at play, something calling you to pause and look within. It's easy to get caught in a loop of doing, pushing, and proving.
But what’s beneath all that action? What truth is hidden in the rush to “go” that’s begging to be seen? Ask yourself: Where am I going, and why?
This isn’t about making a rash decision but asking whether your path aligns with your deeper needs. You’re at a crossroads, but will you let the rush of Aries’ fire burn you out, or will you channel it into a more sustainable, meaningful direction?
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Design: YourTango
The urge to make bold statements in your relationships or personal interactions may be strong today, but don’t rush into a conversation just to be heard. Sometimes, silence can reveal more than words ever could.
Your usual steady approach is being challenged by a need to get things off your chest, but before you dive into a discussion, ask yourself: What’s driving this desire to speak? Is it about connection or a response to an old pattern that no longer serves you?
The world around you may feel noisy, but the actual answers lie within. Stay grounded, and listen carefully to the undercurrent beneath your words.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Design: YourTango
You may find yourself wrestling with your value system, questioning whether your work truly serves you or if you’ve been pouring energy into something that feels unappreciated. It’s a moment of reckoning, asking whether the return is worth the investment.
You’re not the type to shy away from hard work, but what are you working for now? Is it recognition, stability, or something deeper? Don’t act impulsively, but sit with the discomfort of these questions and ask yourself what you need to feel truly fulfilled.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Design: YourTango
Today, there's tension between your instinct to protect and nurture and the need to express yourself authentically to the world. The pull to retreat, to shelter your heart, may feel strong, but there’s also an undeniable urge to break free and stand tall.
You’re walking a fine line between self-preservation and the desire to be seen. What part of you needs to be exposed? What truths have you been hiding, even from yourself? Don’t hide what needs to be shared; let it guide you forward.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Design: YourTango
A part of you wants to keep moving and pushing forward, but you’re being asked to slow down and examine what’s happening in the background.
What old patterns, fears, or emotional baggage are you still carrying? It's time to clear the emotional clutter, to let go of what holds you back, so that you can move forward with more clarity and purpose. The question isn't whether you can go on, but can truly let go of what's holding you down.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Design: YourTango
Today, you’re asked to examine your connections with the wider world, particularly with friends or communities. There’s a powerful drive to belong and make your mark in the collective, but there may also be a deep tension around how much you’re giving and how little you’re receiving in return.
Are you sacrificing too much of yourself for the sake of a group? Are your efforts truly valued, or are you pouring energy into something that doesn’t reflect your worth? Reflect on your place in the greater whole.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Design: YourTango
Today, you might find yourself grappling with your public image, how the world sees you, and your role in your career or public life. There’s a part of you that wants to push forward, to achieve, but something feels off, like there’s a tension between your inner self and the persona you're projecting.
What’s driving this need for recognition? Is it about validation or a genuine desire to do the work that feels most true to you? Don’t rush to prove anything today. Instead, sit with these feelings of doubt and ask yourself: What do I want to be known for? What is success, and how can I define it for myself, rather than letting the world do it for me?
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Design: YourTango
Before starting something new, take a step back and assess whether this urge for freedom is about avoiding something in your present or about finding a path that aligns with your soul’s true purpose.
You can sense opportunities in a strong way. The world is wide and full of possibilities, but only if you’re clear about why you want to walk that road in the first place. Consider your long-term goals, Scorpio. Aim for them.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Design: YourTango
Today, you're grappling with deeper emotions, perhaps fears or unresolved issues from your past, that have surfaced with intensity. You're strongly desirous of pushing them down, keeping moving, and staying busy.
Yet, the universe is urging you to sit with them. Today's energy is ripe for transformation, but only if you're willing to release what no longer serves you and make space for the new. It’s a decisive moment for healing if you allow it.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Design: YourTango
Today, your relationships take center stage, particularly those with colleagues, partners, or close friends. There’s a need to balance your desires with the demands of others.
Where do you give too much of yourself away? Are you losing sight of what you need in these dynamics, simply to keep the peace or to fulfill expectations? Reflect on the balance you’re striking. You don’t have to give more than you can afford to.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Design: YourTango
Today, you're focused on the daily grind, the little things that often slip under the radar but are essential for your well-being.
The temptation may be to overwork, to obsess over the details, but the truth is: Are you burning yourself out trying to perfect something that doesn’t matter in the long run? What can you release from your routine to give yourself more breathing space?
The real work is about streamlining and eliminating unnecessary tasks so you can focus on what makes you feel grounded and well.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Design: YourTango
There’s a call to tap into your creative self, to let your imagination run wild. Are you allowing yourself to create freely, or are you bound by expectations, your own or those of others?
This isn’t about chasing perfection, but about letting go of the need for approval and allowing your true voice to come through. What do you truly want to express, without worrying about how it will be received? Dive into your passions, your dreams, and let the creativity flow without limits.
