Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Monday, May 6, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

As an Aries and a fire sign, you’re probably best equipped to deal with the range of unexpected events triggered by the current eclipses. Tempting as it is to plunge in and tackle what’s arisen, invest time in gathering facts — especially from those who are well informed about the matters in question.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

While there’s no doubt even the current unsettling changes you’re experiencing are in your best interests, you sense what’s least expected could be even better in the long run. Your instincts are correct. Out of character as backing off and letting destiny take over may be, you’ll soon realise how wise it was.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

As an inquisitive Gemini, usually you not only enjoy discussing and finding solutions for puzzling situations, you’ve a knack for coming up with ideas that otherwise wouldn’t have been suggested. Recently, however, even you have been short of inspiration. The solution? Plunge in, allowing circumstances to guide the way.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Although the eclipsed Full Moon and New Moon took place weeks ago, you’re still juggling the changes in both long term plans and more recent arrangements they triggered. And, what’s more, these are likely to continue. The secret? Regard even the most uncomplicated of arrangements as an experiment.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

As a somewhat impatient fire sign, you’ve already been struggling with the way certain individuals have avoided even discussing changes you’re eager to make. Be aware, however, that not everybody is a quick-thinking fire sign like you are. Back off. This gives others a chance to move at their own, slower, pace.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

If you’re a typical Virgo, you’d never comment on or criticise someone without being sure of the facts. Yet as has become increasingly clear recently, not everybody cares as much about their words being accurate. However tempting as it is to confront the individual in question, you’d soon regret it. For now, back off.

Your horoscope for the whole of May

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Although the powerful Libra eclipsed Full Moon took place over a month ago, you’re still juggling both the unsettling feelings it triggered and solutions for certain changes that are bound to take ages. The secret? Leave events, including those changes, in the hands of destiny. It will be easier all around.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

While there’s a Full Moon every month, the odds are good you’re still thinking about the ideas and insights that accompanied the Scorpio Full Moon in late April. It’s worth dwelling on these, especially because those involved are as excited as you are about exploring new things to do and places to go.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Of the 12 signs, you’re the most inquisitive. While that can mean you get distracted by events that are intriguing but not necessarily important, you also have a talent for spotting potentially exciting ideas or offers. And that’s exactly what’s in the air now. At minimum, explore these. You’ll be glad you did.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Only days ago, you weren’t just enthusiastic about plans certain individuals had devised, you were encouraging others to get involved. Since then, you’ve realised that while those behind the plans were expert at rousing enthusiasm they’re less careful about details. Enough you’re now backing out and telling others too.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

As an inquisitive air sign, you not only enjoy observing what’s going on around you, the activities of others are equally fascinating. The problem? Certain individuals regard your interest as intrusive, if not actually irritating. An apology would only confuse matters. The less you say, the more swiftly others will forget it all.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

While you can’t plan for the insights that will come with Wednesday’s New Moon, you can make a point of reflecting on those elements of your life that would benefit from changes of some variety. True, at the moment it’s unclear what’s needed. Be patient. Within days those problems will resolve themselves.

This birthday is all about taking advantage of your instincts, as a Taurus and being ruled by the planet Venus, which accents a range of life’s pleasures, from romantic alliances to elegant possessions. Now, however, you won’t just be enjoying these, but you’ll find ways to benefit socially or even financially. The secret? Find others who are equally interested in life’s pleasures and its beauty, and begin the process of exploration and discovery together.
