Horoscopes

For Friday, May 9:

New beginnings and good news come from detaching, intellectualizing and remaining open. The more willing you are to identify with others, the better your year could be. If you are single, you might want to date but not formalize a tie until next year. If you are attached, talk about long-overdue changes. Cancer enjoys bouncing ideas off you.

¢¢¢ You suddenly decide enough is enough and opt for a different path. How you deal with someone could change dramatically. Tonight: Take some downtime.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
