For Friday, May 2:

You might often weigh the variables of a risk. Intellectually, your mind wants to grow and evolve, but you might have difficulty seeing the other side of an issue. Don’t force yourself. You are in a special year with many opportunities. If you are single, check out any new person with care. Be the slow Bull getting to know this person. If you are attached, your relationship benefits from getaways together, just the two of you! Aries understands you very well.
