Horoscopes

By Jacqueline Bigar

For Sunday, May 8, 2005. Those with birthdays today: You have an unusual sense of self. Your personality and magnetism mark your actions. Endless creativity comes forth no matter what situation you are looking at. You work well with others, especially on an individual level. Don’t get caught up in thinking that your way is the only way. Events will demonstrate otherwise. Your strength of personality and endurance create strong opportunities for success. If you are single, you will meet many people this year, but someone significant will enter your life next winter. If you are attached, work together as a team and refuse to make all of the decisions yourself. Work on an equal partnership basis.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

  • Be mellow and caring with a loved one. A purchase or token of affection might create a new beginning. Realizing your limitations will help you balance your plans. Tonight: Take a mom out for dinner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • A gesture or caring word could mend some broken fences. Don’t kid yourself — you need to make the first move. In fact, the cards fall into your lap. Tonight: Remember those you care about.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Know when to step back. You cannot force an issue and still come out on top. It is important to know when to pull out and not get into someone else’s battle. Lying back and doing little might be a lot more positive in the long run. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Aim for more of what you want. You could opt to bring all the mothers in your life together. You find that a fun and joyful occasion will happen if you let go of a need to control. Make the most out of a celebration. Tonight: Don’t bet on it being an early night.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Others demand your attention, whether you are the one celebrating the day or celebrating a mother or two. Your attention means a lot more than you realize. You have an opportunity for a new beginning. Express your inner happiness. Tonight: A must appearance.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • If you need to hop in the car to visit with one of the mothers in your life, do so. Plans might change rapidly. Make important Sunday calls. What you hear might have you regrouping. A new beginning is possible if you detach. Tonight: Express your caring in ways others can hear.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Sometimes you need to get to the bottom of an issue, especially if it involves a partnership or key relationship. What is good for you might not be good for someone else. Honest talks revise many of your preconceived notions. Tonight: Add that extra tenderness.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • You find that others want to run with the ball. Don’t try to stop them. You don’t have as much control as you would like. Tonight: Say “yes” to a suggestion.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • * Right now you need to nurture and adapt to others, even if you would prefer to do otherwise. How you state your intentions could have much to do with others’ responses. Tonight: Relax as soon as you can.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Use your imagination with children and loved ones. You might need to resolve a problem or change your point of view about a family member. Tonight: Frolic as if there is no tomorrow.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Take care of those close to you rather than spread yourself thin. A family member needs to understand what is going on with you. Tonight: Spend some quiet time at home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • Your ability to say the right words at the right time separates you from others. Think about and visualize more of what you want. Others will seek you out. Touch base with the important women in your life. Tonight: Dinner out.
