In this daily horoscope for May 12, Bustle's resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every zodiac sign. Below, here's a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.

Coming fresh off yesterday’s new moon in determined Taurus, we might find that we’re ready to put the intentions we’ve set into motion. Though with the Taurus moon facing off with expansive Jupiter in Aquarius at the start of the day, we’re reminded not to spread ourselves thin or take on too much by ourselves. Teamwork is a theme of the day, as the moon moves to collaborative Gemini later in the morning. Under the moon in Gemini, we do best when we pair up with a buddy or work in groups.

For those of us who could use extra support or motivation in getting things done today, the cosmos encourages us to reach out and connect with the people around us. The pathway to communication is open thanks to chatty Mercury in Gemini teaming up with supportive Saturn in Aquarius by the afternoon and the moon linking up with friendly Venus in Gemini toward the evening. Meanwhile, with so much emphasis on planets in Gemini today, it’s a good time for engaging in any activity that helps us to build our skills, market our ideas, or broaden our options.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your May 2021 monthly horoscope.

Your reputation and resume sparkle now, raising your chances for getting an opportunity you want, as well as much-deserved attention or fanfare. Now’s not the time to play humble. Own your achievements.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you’ve been feeling stressed by a money-related matter, things could turn around for the better today, especially if you’ve been waiting on a lump sum of money. Security is yours.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Partnership is favored today — both in your love life and your professional life. You’re reminded that you can’t always go it alone, nor should you. Reciprocity is the hallmark of the day.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Margaret Flatley/Bustle
