Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, May 3, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

You may already sense that big changes are in the air. While you’ve long been aware they were coming, now that you’re facing them they seem overwhelming. The solution? Get others involved. They’re facing similar setbacks. Talk these over and you can tackle them as a team. That approach will be easier and faster.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Every New Moon is about letting go of elements of the past and taking advantage of the space created, in both arrangements and your feelings, to bring new and wonderful experiences into your life. Judging by the planetary setup, patience is essential. These are unlikely to be clear until the middle of next week.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

As a clever and quick-thinking air sign, you’ve been enjoying recent lively conversations with others. However, you’re only now beginning to realise that certain individuals are taking what you’ve said far more seriously than it was intended. For now, back off. Then raise and discuss the matters in question, one by one.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

There are certain matters that aren’t just pressing, you’ve no choice but to regard them as a priority. While at the moment you’re intrigued by the ways you think you’ll benefit, you remain puzzled by the enthusiasm of certain individuals. They’ve benefitted from these and are hoping that you will as well.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Being a quick-thinking and fast moving fire sign, you sometimes make hasty decisions. While it’s easy to disentangle yourself from some of these, others are proving far more troublesome. The fact is the actual situation is complex, so much so that there’s no simple way of extracting yourself from these.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

While you’re generous by nature, you’re also careful about what you commit to. At the moment, this isn’t just wise, double- checking plans now will help avoid unsettling surprises in the future. The secret? Ensure those arrangements that can’t be changed are as flexible as possible.

Your horoscope for the whole of May

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Over the years you’ve begun to realise that while, you’re tactful and carefully ensure they’re free to say ‘no’ when you seek the advice of others, not everybody is so thoughtful. In fact, certain individuals feel cornered into providing those insights. Discuss this with them. They’ll be more than grateful.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

It’s true, of the 12 signs of the zodiac you spot worrying events more swiftly than others and you’ve an amazing ability to devise solutions that, while complex, will help resolve even the most tricky of issues. Lacking inspiration? Don’t give up. By tomorrow something will appear, probably out of the blue.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Your sense of humour enables you to detect the irony in increasingly tricky situations, including those you’re currently facing. While simply thinking of this makes you laugh, not everybody shares this ironic perspective and certain individuals would be shocked. The solution? Keep those thoughts to yourself.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Those who know you well are accustomed to periods when you’re busy turning unruly situations into workable plans and have learnt to back off. However, at the moment others really need your help, ideas and support but are anxious about asking. The solution? Get there first and offer to lend a hand.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

As an inquisitive air sign, you don’t just enjoy hearing about the new ideas others are pursuing, you’re often tempted to give them a try. Then the cautious side of your nature takes over and you rethink those plans. Now, however, destiny itself has made the decision — and it’s to plunge in.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

You don’t think of yourself as impatient and your powerful intuition will help you sense whether it’s time to wait or explore what’s next. However, with destiny taking a hand in plans, changes won’t just be unexpected, they’ll be as powerful as they are timely. You’ll soon learn just how much.

Saturday

True, long ago you learnt the power of charm and the importance of good timing. But recent and unexpected developments are forcing you to plunge in, mostly when short of facts. Within a short time, you’ll be thrilled by who you encounter, what you do and the discoveries you make.

Sunday

Far-reaching changes are in the air. While you’re hesitant, once you begin and are experiencing the breakthroughs promised by your birthday stars, you’ll wonder why you hesitated for even a moment. This a time to be adventurous. The sooner you plunge in, the better.

Monday

As a tactful Taurus, you’ve a powerful instinct about what others enjoy. Now, however, it’s your turn to focus on these and break away from familiar, if reliable, arrangements. Worthwhile experiences and encounters await you. The challenge? Taking that first step.
