Horoscope For Today: Thursday, May 8, 2025

Today has plenty of action for the zodiac signs!

The moon is in Libra, which has us focused on harmony and fairness regarding our emotions. When the moon forms a trine to Pluto in Aquarius, our emotions become activated, and the realization may push us to want to take extremes in our actions as a response—our adventurous side is alive and well. Then, the moon opposes Venus in Aries, which could bring out some insecurities and leave us feeling unsteady when making decisions. Trying to find a balance between ourselves and others may feel more frustrating.

However, when the moon forms a sextile to Mars in Leo, we have a renewed drive to tackle challenges and communicate our needs and desires well. We are determined to find our footing without compromising ourselves in the process.

Check your signs below (Rising and Sun) to see what today has in store for you!

Aries

You have to share your emotions with the people you love, Aries. It’s normal for insecurities to pop up occasionally, and you may find you’re trying to overcompensate to cover them up—it won’t help you in the long run. You need to be able to trust your friends and partners with what’s bothering you and work together to find a solution. They want to be there for you, so stop worrying about being a burden and let them. 

Taurus

The pressure to succeed is weighing on you, Taurus. No one doubts your ability to get things done, but when you start pushing yourself to the brink (especially out of stubbornness), you can feel the effects on your mental health, and it isn’t pretty. Remembering that rest and giving yourself a slower pace is just as important as trying to get everything done, which is going to do you wonders if you’re willing to apply that advice. Take care of yourself. 

Gemini

Allow yourself to be free today, Gemini. When you experience freedom, you are bound to get caught up in all the possibilities, and wanting to dive headfirst is understandable. Of course, there is a part of you that feels guilty about wanting to enjoy yourself when serious things are happening around you to consider. Nonetheless, giving yourself a day to explore and be adventurous is not wrong—you’re allowed to enjoy yourself. 

Cancer

It’s hard for people to understand when you need some time for yourself, Cancer. You feel the pull to have some alone time to process heavy situations that have been weighing on you, but when other people are pushing for your time and attention, it can be hard to know where to set the boundary. Today is worth communicating with others to let them know you need some time for you—don’t allow them to bully you into compromising on it to make them happy. Your needs are important, too. 

Leo

You have a voice, Leo, and today, you’re figuring out how to use it. When you’re passionate about something, especially if you have support from others, it’s easy to be vocal—you may run the risk of getting carried away. The pressure to conform to what you know and what makes things “easier” could have you wanting to backtrack. While being mindful of how you say what needs to be said, it’s important to honor yourself in the process. When you’re speaking from the heart, it’s worth it. 

Virgo

It’s okay to take time and regroup, Virgo. You’re becoming aware of what is important to you and what makes you feel safe, and the reality is that consistency plays a role in that. Of course, you don’t want to put yourself in a box, which can make you feel limited if you aren’t doing something spontaneous to shake things up. However, sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself is sticking to ordinary schedules because you know what works. You can introduce changes later when you’re feeling more at ease with yourself. 

Libra

You have to be true to yourself, Libra. Being who you are unapologetically isn’t easy to do, especially when you don’t want to ruffle feathers. However, you deserve to embrace the parts of you that you try to hide. Even though others may have trouble accepting it, you’re reminded that there are people out there who support and love you for the entirety of who you are, not just certain parts—you aren’t alone. 

Scorpio

Sometimes, we must examine our lives to know what matters to us, Scorpio. You’ve been reflecting on how you are in public and private, and today, you may experience new emotions that take you by surprise. However, this doesn’t mean you need to be hard on yourself as you unpack these feelings—you’re human. Getting to the root of why you act the ways you do in different settings can give you insight into what you’re trying to protect, so be willing to do some internal digging. 

Sagittarius

It’s worth exploring what else is out there, Sagittarius. We can become so entrenched in what others around us think that we can lose sight of ourselves. Even if you are aligned with others, it’s still important to be able to step back and understand why YOU feel the way you do, not just because it was told to you. Be willing to do the research and figure out where you stand rather than handing it off to someone else. 

Capricorn

You will do what you have to to keep things running smoothly, Capricorn. You’re focused on accomplishing your goals, or making some serious headway. You’re determined to keep it up, especially if it means security for you and anyone else who relies on you. However, there can be some frustration from feeling the need to hold back parts of yourself to get further ahead in your work. Do your best to partner with people who value all you have to offer, and you may find you’re able to get where you want to be without having to compromise yourself. 

Aquarius

You’re allowed to expand your horizons, Aquarius. Discovering something new about yourself could serve as the catalyst for a new passion, though you could find you’re ready to go all in very fast. There may be some hesitation and concern about stepping into the unknown, but you have a strong support system for a reason. Trust that these discoveries are worth taking a chance on. 

Pisces

Trust that you know what’s best for you, Pisces. Setting new boundaries and understanding parts of yourself that you’ve repressed for a long time is something you’re working toward, but the voices of others have you doubting whether you’re on the right path. Truthfully, it’s easier said than done to be consistent on what you will and won’t tolerate. However, if you’re able to stick to your guns, you’ll realize that the people being the loudest are the ones who want unlimited access to you—you’re allowed to protect your peace.
