Horoscope for May 9, 2010

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)

••• Know when to pull back and honor your needs. Know that you will be most appreciated when you decide to return to the scene. Take a nap or two. Tonight: Suddenly energized, now the world is your oyster.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• Visit with those you care about, whether it is doing your Sunday thing or breaking the mold and doing something others love. You might be amazed by how much you enjoy yourself. Tonight: Start organizing your next week.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• You’ll feel as if you have a new lease on life once you have completed certain responsibilities. Put your best foot forward and play away. Tonight: Do you really care that tomorrow is Monday?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• You’ll gain a new perspective as others share. You could be uncomfortable with a realization. You cannot change what has happened, but you can change the future and your responses. Tonight: Don’t forget an older person.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Work with a partner, though you could feel stretched. Perhaps if you consider what this person desires, you might experience greater success. Try walking in his or her shoes. Tonight: Let your mind wander. Watch a favorite TV show.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Others take action. Your mood or attitude could come out, eliminating an effective back-and-forth communication. The unexpected plays into plans. Maintain a sense of humor, and refuse to shut down. Dialoguing later in the day heals. Tonight: Chat over a meal.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• You might want to deal with a project or handle some extra work. Nevertheless, by midafternoon, another’s invitation sounds extraordinarily tempting. Your ability to let go of plans is tested. You cannot always continue at the same pace. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• You could be surprised by what might be going on around you. Somehow, you would like to approach a situation differently, but don’t know what to do. Follow that off-the-wall, wild idea — at least you will loosen up the status quo. Others’ imaginations could be provoked. Tonight: Slow down.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• Don’t do anything that you don’t feel like doing. If you want to take a lazy day, do. The surprise that occurs if you are indulging this need is that suddenly you want to go out and about. Others welcome your presence. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• Keep communication flowing. You could be tired and pushed to the max. You might not be able to connect with someone at a distance. The unexpected could add a level of excitement to your afternoon. Tonight: Happy at home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• Use care with spending. Your sense of humor plays out when dealing with a dour or somber individual. Know what you can and cannot change. Midafternoon, follow an impulse to reach out and join a friend. Tonight: Hang out with this pal.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Make calls early in the day. A change in plans might be very positive, as you can squeeze in a get-together with a special person or get a special project done. A friend might be talking about him- or herself more than about you. Tonight: Treat yourself and a loved one to a special dessert.
