Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, May 5th

 

Aries

This morning, if you don’t know what you want, you can be especially restless, dear Aries. Ambivalence is likely today – others are having a hard time making decisions. You may be in the position to make a choice between taking a risk or sticking with the familiar; between trying something different or doing the practical thing. Try not to let small matters escalate into full-blown dramas. Remember that people around you can be especially sensitive. While you could be feeling as if you’re winding up with nowhere to go, it’s better to wind down today with a Balsamic Moon. The New Moon occurring tomorrow will help direct you. This afternoon brings calmer energy for settling down.

Taurus

It’s a little too easy to get your goat or to have you question a recent choice in the first half of the day, dear Taurus. You might feel that others are pushing you or demanding too much from you. While you’re generally being received well these days with Venus in your sign, today you might not be able to bask. Some awkwardness in social situations is possible. Slight tweaks and adjustments may be necessary if you’re looking to get something you want. Don’t push things for now, and don’t accept others’ attempts to push you, either. The Moon moves into your sign early afternoon and is Balsamic. Tomorrow, a New Moon will occur in your sign, making today a better time to wind down, rest, reflect, and let go.

Gemini

You may not be seeing things the same way with a partner or friend today, dear Gemini, and may feel you can’t really get onto the same page no matter what you do. This kind of thing happens from time to time and it’s best not to push it – instead, find ways to make adjustments and to seek out your own happiness for now. Old issues that you thought you had buried might emerge and occupy your mind. There can be a feeling of being out of sync, and it can be hard to go after what you want either because you’re not certain about your desires or because circumstances seem to prevent a clear-cut and direct path to your goals. Tomorrow’s New Moon is likely to promote a sense of direction in your life, and this afternoon’s energies better help you to unwind and relax.

 

Cancer

Relationships in the first half of the day can be a little tricky, dear Cancer, and even what would normally be simple decisions on another day can be a challenge now. Wants and desires seem to be out of whack. Friendly gestures may be taken the wrong way, something that’s said can be misinterpreted, and other such minor social hiccups. Fortunately, you’ll find it relatively easy to smooth everything over, especially if you lift yourself above the moment and don’t take these things too seriously. Try not to make firm plans today. The second half of the day features smoother, calmer energy. Tomorrow’s New Moon can refresh your thinking, and possibly even your confidence. For now, it’s appropriate to tie up loose ends, let go, and clear your mind rather than throw yourself into something brand new.

Leo

People in your life, in general, require a little more care and sensitivity in the first half of today, dear Leo, as there can be some misunderstandings or hurt feelings. It may be difficult to pinpoint the reason for discontent for most of us. An impulse buy or the desire to enter into a new arrangement can be compelling today but not necessarily wise, as you may be drawn to do something with yourself, but it’s unlikely that you know what it is you truly want, so you can easily be led astray. The energies of the second half of the day make it easier to get in touch with yourself, and it’s in fact a powerful time to do so with a Balsamic Moon and a New Moon set to occur tomorrow and helping you to better direct and focus your energies.

Virgo

In the first half of the day, there can be some tensions, both internal and between others, dear Virgo. People may be trying to one-up each other, or they may be feeling desirous but not sure what they truly want. As well, be careful with how you word your opinions, which might feel like an attack on someone’s values, even if it’s not what you intend. Tensions in the family unit can also surface today, and the answer lies in slowing down. Listen to your instincts, but perhaps wait to act upon them if any part of you is hesitant. Disagreeableness can be a strong tendency in the morning, but you and others tend to crave more harmony as the day advances, making it easier to unwind. Tomorrow’s New Moon is likely to help you find a stronger sense of direction.

Libra

People are either very indirect in their approach to getting what they want today, dear Libra, or running roughshod over others’ feelings going after something that they think they want! Conflicts between Venus and Mars as well as Mars and Uranus can stir up all sorts of energy, but there may not be easy channels for it to flow smoothly. Conversations can be tricky and possibly a little messy as well. Try not to get wrapped up in wants and desires and instead find ways to unwind, let go, and get in touch with your heart today. The second half of the day should be easier for achieving these goals. Tomorrow’s New Moon can bring a nice charge to your life and a stronger feeling of motivation. Consider ways to make improvements, and then put your plans into action in the coming week.

Scorpio

It will be important, although a little difficult, to pace yourself today, dear Scorpio. There can be social missteps or awkwardness with others. Adjustments need to be made before pushing forward, possibly finance-related ones. Getting onto the same page as a partner may be challenging, and it may be better not to try too hard – instead, try to let things pass. Others may not “get” what you want unless you spell it out for them. Save very important discussions for a time when people are less confused about their own desires. In the face of disagreements, attempt to be as good-natured as possible now. As the day advances, you’ll find both you and people around you will find it easier to unwind and to be less concerned about getting their way. A New Moon will occur in your relationship zone tomorrow, bringing a fresh start to relating patterns.

 

Sagittarius

You might unwittingly stir up troubles today, dear Sagittarius, thinking you can change something or someone. However, it’s not a time to push others, and it’s best to reconsider your own priorities. There may be some feelings of resentment stirred. You could feel that others are draining you, when in fact you are better off looking within for answers. Wait it out, as it’s temporary. Do your share of the work, and avoid worrying about what others are or aren’t doing. As the day advances, you’re more inclined to do just that, and this can be calming. Keeping busy is important now, but try to meditate in motion in some way, as you can really benefit from reflection on your needs. The New Moon tomorrow should bring a charge of energy for new beginnings when it comes to daily affairs and routines.

Capricorn

In the first half of the day, you may be suffering from temporary lack of confidence in your creative output or in a relationship, dear Capricorn, making it an inopportune time to push an idea or advance a relationship. You’d be better off waiting for a day in which you feel in sync and in tune. A sense that you might stir the pot too much if you ask for something directly is with you, and yet you still want to fill your desires. People can easily feel slighted, and maybe it’s better to avoid drama right now, which can very easily escalate. Keep in mind that people are not especially in touch with their true needs and may be chasing things that have little chance of satisfying them, and this can include you. As the day advances, you are in much better shape for getting in touch with your heart’s desires. Take every opportunity to do so, as tomorrow’s New Moon brings powerful energy for going after what you want.

Aquarius

It can be difficult in the first half of the day to get onto the same page as others, dear Aquarius, and to keep plans running smoothly. It’s best not to push your agenda and instead wait for a more pleasant day when others tend to want to cooperate for important talks or interviews. The problem now is that you may be meeting with people who either won’t budge on an issue, or who are wavering, lacking the confidence or presence of mind to make a firm decision. There could be a dilemma between your personal and social lives for some of you. Emotions run hot and cold this morning, but tend to smooth out as the day advances. In fact, tonight is strong for winding down and coming to a stronger sense of your priorities.

Pisces

Frustrations in the first half of the day are likely due to poor timing, dear Pisces. It can be difficult to come to agreements with others, and challenging to truly know what you want most. Your best bet is to avoid the trap of thinking something outside of yourself is the answer to all your problems. Avoid overloading your schedule today if this is possible. You might also want to avoid bringing up tricky topics, as any debates started today can easily escalate into arguments or stand-offs. As the day advances, you might discover a more easygoing atmosphere and thoroughly enjoy it. Tomorrow’s New Moon brings fresh energy and motivation for pouring yourself into projects you love.
