Horoscopes

For Thursday, May 8, 2003. Those with birthdays today: This birthday year you might have your hands full whether you like it or not. Weigh opinions, not pushing too hard. Think through what others say, trying to reserve your judgments. Understand what others offer. If you are single, a relationship will enter your life later this year. This person could be very special. If you are attached, don’t push your sweetie. Let him or her reveal who he or she is. Leo can push your buttons.
