Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Cancer

May 11, 2024

Moon transiting Cancer, Saturday, May 11th, can make anyone crabby, moody, touchy, sensitive, defensive — and even combative — today, as the moon squares both Neptune in Pisces and Mars in Aries, while Mercury conjunct Chiron in Aries squares Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. Cancer is a moon ruled water sign associated with the 4th house of home, family, and psychological foundations, and on this day before Mother’s Day, anyone who has emotional pain or complicated feelings from their childhood, and more specifically, concerning a mother or mother figure, could be reliving their past, or wishing things had been different, or could be different now. Not everyone has had a happy upbringing and a loving mother. Many feel grief at the approach of this holiday for the mother they never had, or a mother they no longer have. A Minor Grand Trine involving Venus, the sun, Uranus, and Jupiter in Taurus, Mars and Neptune, and Pluto, indicate that having compassion and love for yourself, and acknowledging that your pain or loss has increased your compassion and love for others, can transform the energy you hold — and even defend and protect — which perpetuates the pain or unhappiness. Peace, healing, release, and possibly forgiveness, can be found today, but only by confronting your feelings and moving through them. Be patient with others who are out of sorts, and don’t take their behavior or words too personally, because they may be reacting to emotional triggers that have nothing to do with you, and are in need of soothing and stabilizing energy.
