In this daily horoscope for May 21, 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.

The first half of the day could feel a bit overwhelming, as the moon in detail-oriented Virgo faces off with busy Mercury in Gemini and confusing Neptune in Pisces at the start of the day. As such, it might be hard to tell if we’re coming or going as we attempt to tackle the tasks of the day. With the sun in Gemini facing off with limitless Jupiter in Pisces by the late morning, it could be hard to avoid getting sucked into distractions and busywork. It’s best to be choosy with our time, energy, and interests.

The energy of the day begins to even out toward the late afternoon when the Virgo moon meets up with powerful Pluto in Capricorn — which helps us to find a second wind to push through the rest of the day. However, later this evening when the moon moves to peace-loving Libra, we’re encouraged to take some time out to recalibrate. When the moon is in Libra, it’s a good time for indulging in our pleasures and connecting with people who make us feel good, especially as the Libra moon teams up with the sun in Gemini later tonight.

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