For Wednesday, May 6:

This year, when you see a problem or hassle arise, step back and don’t react. The wise action would be to ask yourself how you might have played a role in making this happen, and how you could have prevented it. If you are single, you easily could change your mind about situations and people once you detach. If you are attached, the two of you will gain from frequent getaways together. Libra is easy to work with.
