Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday May 21, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
You might feel a little lethargic, Ram, as the moon spends another comfy day in your relaxed twelfth house. But don’t sleep on the opportunities that await you! Though you may feel like retreating, stay the course at work and in your relationships. If anything, open up space for activities like creative writing or book-club reading. A hiccup in an important relationship could bring a strong bout of the feels. Wait until the weekend, when your thinking is clearer, to confront it directly. As for today? Have a cathartic chat (from the tub, maybe) with a wise, compassionate friend.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
Nothing wrong with being thrifty, Bull, but are you hanging onto a gadget that’s outlived its usefulness? Suffering through cracked screens and molasses-slow load speeds is actually optional. With the moon whirring in your tech sector, get on the ball with a long-overdue upgrade. Consider this an investment in your future—and if it’s a pricey spend, look into monthly payment plans. Whether you’re building a business or moving up in your career, it makes sense to utilize tools that fuel efficiency and productivity. All set with your gadgets? Hop on social media and give your friend lists an uncompromising review.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
Distractions, begone! As the moon zooms through your tenth house of leadership and success, you can finally get back into a productive groove. Focus on big-picture goals and delegate the minutiae. An influential person may hold the key to your growth—but bear in mind that there’s more than one portal to your happiness. Don’t unlock the door to any long commitments unless you’re clear on the accompanying obligations and responsibilities. You know that once you take something on, you’re all in!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
As the moon vibes out in your outspoken ninth house, you may struggle to give feedback diplomatically—and you might even blurt it out, whether you were asked for it or not. Although your insights are on point, certain people might not be ready to take in your reads today. If you’re trying to deliver helpful advice, start with praise before you launch into “here’s how to do it better.” One exception: If someone you know is being taken advantage of, then let loose…with compassion.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
Lean in, Leo—and listen! Today, the most profound insights might NOT come from the loudest or most talkative person in the room, but rather the quietly observant one. Go out of your way to draw the introverts into the dialogue. Can you make them feel heard… and also celebrated? If you’re asking for this type for feedback on a project, don’t expect answers on demand. Give them some space to reflect before they share their wisdom with you. It’ll be worth the wait!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
Today’s Pisces moon revs up your partnership zone and—surprise!—your “other half” might be standing on very unfamiliar turf. Remember: It’s the differences that can make a duo dynamic. Can this person bring something new to the table, a skill that’s not in your wheelhouse? If so, why NOT solicit feedback from this complementary force? Even if their vision doesn’t completely align with yours, there will be some gems to take away. You’re not obligated to make it a forever thing. Test the waters with a short-term project so you can splash around in together before fully diving in (or not).
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
Bump self-care up to TOP of your to-do list. (That’s where it belongs, in case you forgot.) With the moon charging through your salubrious sixth house, eating clean and moving your body will energize you out of a slump. Changes don’t have to be drastic to be effective. Skip the bagel at breakfast and blend up a luscious green smoothie. Walk instead of driving to errands that are within a reasonable distance. Feeling overwhelmed? Break stressful tasks down into smaller bites.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
A decadent day is in store as the Pisces moon sashays through your zone of pleasure and romance. Relax a little, Scorpio, and you’ll inspire everyone around you to do the same. Take periodic “beauty breaks” to walk through a pretty neighborhood, treat yourself to an iced coffee from a pickup window or do a little online shopping if you need some flowy summer clothes. All that pampering could wake you up romantically. Get proactive, whether you’re swiping right or setting up your dining room with a candlelit table for two.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
It’s not every day that an optimistic Archer will admit to feeling vulnerable. But with the Pisces moon churning up the feels, you won’t be able to conceal your insecurities behind a poker face. If something bothers you, don’t suck it up; let people know that you’re feeling a little raw. If you’re not comfortable sharing your unprocessed emotions, queue up a playlist and go for a solo stroll. Bring your journal and a blanket (and a picnic) in case you find a sunny spot where you can sit and think things through.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
Don’t hide your illuminated perspective, Cap, but be prepared to stand alone on this one, perhaps even getting labeled “the bad guy.” It wouldn’t be the first time, and, anyway, it’s better than hiding your convictions. With any luck, you can spark a dialogue and get people thinking outside their restricted boxes. Just make sure you have all of your information correct before you spout off on a subject or put up a public post. If possible, stay curious about other people’s views, especially if they’re considered experts in their field. But don’t let their status intimidate you. If you have a genuine question or concern, voice it!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
You’ve been pushing it hard for the past couple days, but it’s time to come in for a soft landing. Enjoy today’s grounded groove as you check off outstanding tasks and handle your business like a boss. Embrace the spirit of practical magic as you go. Today’s Pisces moon brings one of your genius ideas into a tangible focus. To help the process along, create a blueprint for success that’s anchored in reality… without sacrificing creativity.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday May 21
The moment is NOW to tackle a project that you’ve been putting off until the “right” time. As the desire-driven moon flows through your sign, you’ll feel like you’ve got a second wind. Use this burst of energy to make significant progress—or step into the role of the influencer you’re meant to be. But while you’re conquering the world, your patience may be tested. Leave plenty of white space in your calendar so you don’t feel overwhelmed. An afternoon yoga class or walk in the park can be a sanity saver!
