For Monday, May 5:

Often you are so focused that others might have a difficult time getting your attention. Some even might say that you are self-centered. Unique to this year, you need to work to be less absorbed if you want to relate well. If you are single, your magnetism is very high. If you are attached, your sweetie might adore you, yet relating needs to be more sensitive than your inclination this year. Taurus can challenge you.
