Today’s daily horoscope for May 11, 2024

Maternal Moon

A maternal Cancer moon guides the lead-up to Mother’s Day and will also shine through tomorrow’s parental acknowledgement. “Mother, any distance greater than a single span requires a second pair of hands. You come to help me measure windows, pelmets, doors, the acres of the walls, the prairies of the floors.” — Simon Armitage

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You really will get to write your own story — then you’ll get to rewrite it, punch it up and tell it from multiple views, too. You’ll find great entertainment in your own experiences. You’ll assign meaning that empowers you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Unwavering positivity isn’t wise, especially if the price is denial or a pivot from your true feelings. Be open to the full range of a situation. Most things are neither good nor bad. It’s how they fit in context that matters.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you build will take careful and persistent work. Diligence is a virtue more easily achieved when you lay down a few temporary limits for yourself, for instance, turning off devices to delay the gratification of sharing along the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Not only will you think before you act, you will also think before you think. In fact, there is no danger of overthinking things right now. You’ll actually get clearer with each new idea.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even though you’re the neat one of the zodiac, you also know that a mess can be a good sign. Sometimes it just means you had fun with your people and then there were better things to do than clean up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You sense when you’re lingering somewhere that’s not optimal. Stay because you’re exhilarated, delighted, or because you’re being stretched in some way. If none of those things are happening, just keep on moving.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If everyone loved the same way, the realm of relationships would be so boring. And sometimes giving your love means giving space. You may feel restless and in need of a solo adventure. Take it and you’ll be quite lucky.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re usually the one to venture, but today, consider sticking to the last thing that worked. You’re aligned with your values, so why change anything? Maybe it’s the cast of characters or the situation that needs to change and not you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Stay open-minded and curious today and be ready to dig deeper into situations. Ask questions instead of assuming. It’s a time when unimpressive exteriors will hide truly impressive interiors and vice versa.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll notice a broader range of details. It’s not because of a sudden influx of action, rather it’s being tuned into your own sensitivities and preferences. You see what’s remarkable because you yourself are remarkable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Tonight, you can control your spending or calorie intake, but you can’t help who you love. You’ll make them smile, solving problems in a novel and amusing way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everyone loves a mystery, even the ones who insist they hate surprises. The ones who say they want all the information up front may really want a level of mystery that keeps them coming back.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 11). Your heart is an ever-evolving celebration this year, and it will blossom, heal and sing. There’s a job with your name on it — perhaps even custom-made for you. You’ll execute a signature style that leads to a new wave of creativity. More highlights: You’ll close a huge deal. You’ll make a positive impression and start a relationship that goes on for many years. Scorpio and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 16, 3, 31 and 1.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Told by his parents that he was the reincarnation of his deceased older brother, the surrealist painter Salvador Dali was no stranger to unconventional pressures and perspectives. Iconic paintings such as “The Persistence of Memory,” featuring wilting clocks, explored uniquely disturbing realms. The Taurus artist was born in a Mercury retrograde and under a rebellious Aries moon.
