Horoscopes

OUR RESIDENT ASTROLOGER PREDICTS YOUR WEEK FROM MAY 2 TO MAY 8

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

Let yourself lean on others. As you reach out and join forces, the power of teamwork will be clearly demonstrated. Many couples will find themselves reconnecting over shared passions or projects, while singles might see someone in a positive new light. Why not organise a get-together? That sentimental streak needs satisfying. LUCKY GEMSTONE: EMERALD

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Ready to step into your next phase? For many Big Cats, doors are opening, not just at work but financially, too. Nothing will go quite as expected this month, but try to flow with it as opportunities are swirling (a surprise promotion may even materialise). If electrical items are on your wish list, grab them this weekend before trickster Mercury turns retrograde. LUCKY DAYS: WEDNESDAY & SUNDAY

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

Your social life is shifting into top gear, but for couples who’ve drifted apart, the autumn eclipses could prompt a few changes. Shared pastimes like dancing or cooking might strengthen bonds, while for singles, cultural events could set the scene for romance. If you’ve fallen into a funk, try shifting the furniture around or shake up your routines. LUCKY CRYSTAL: AMETHYST

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Finding it hard to relax and switch off? If serious Saturn has turned you into a worrywart, schedule in some fun. Concerts, comedy nights, game days … and don’t feel guilty, you deserve it. Try to catch up with friends or family over the weekend, as celebrations may be in order. And singles, look out for someone local who’s about to liven up the scene. LUCKY NUMBERS: 7, 16, 25, 28, 31, 39

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 21

You’ve got energy to burn this month, so why not confront a healthrelated problem or sort out a messy situation at work? If those stress levels are spiking, exercise should keep you grounded. As a bonus, social pursuits like tennis or bowls might rekindle a flagging friendship. On the spending front, remember the adage: all that glitters is not gold. LUCKY COLOUR: ORANGE

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

The wide blue yonder beckons! As the sun warms up your travel sector, exciting plans could take shape – but with Mercury reversing from May 10, book those tickets quickly. If you’re stuck at home, why not play tourist and do some exploring? You might be surprised by what you find … and by who you bump into. Fate can work in weird and wonderful ways. LUCKY FLOWER: DAFFODIL

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

Are you living your best life? It’s all about making improvements this year – to your home, your health and your quality of life. Creative or wellness worlds could capture your attention through May – you might even revisit a passion from your distant past. If you need a pep talk, a midweek debrief with friends should be both fun and therapeutic. LUCKY COLOUR: PURPLE

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

As the pace picks up, you’ll need to be selective. Someone may be tugging at your heartstrings, but don’t fall into the martyr trap. Call in some help and, if need be, draw up a family roster. On the upside, get set to be wined, dined, and if single, quite possibly wooed as well. Lateautumn might not be cheap, but a little indulgence is just what you need. LUCKY FLOWER: YELLOW ROSE

CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 23

Look out, world! Cancer coming through. Jupiter is giving your assertive side a boost – that newfound enthusiasm might surprise all. Many Crabs will take on more responsibility this month or find themselves bouncing back after a recent upset. Best of all, Venus is drawing supportive people into your world. Your faith in humanity is being restored. LUCKY NUMBERS: 8, 9, 18, 22, 34, 38

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Searching for stability? If your situation feels precarious, new strategies and ventures are on the cards. But with the May eclipses impacting your finances, don’t rush into anything risky. Winter should bring fresh insights, so for now focus on relaxing. Organise a picnic or grab your gardening gloves: anything planted under Saturday’s fertile sky should grow and thrive. LUCKY NUMBERS: 1, 12, 18, 29, 33, 39

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

Need to let off steam? Find something you feel passionately about and get involved. Whether it’s a charitable cause, an energetic pastime or a homerelated project, you’ll be rearing to go – and what a difference you could make! Body-wise, a new approach to an old health problem could produce pleasing results, so make May the month to get experimental. LUCKY SYMBOL: STAR

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

As the song says, money can’t buy you love. If financial affairs have been monopolising your thoughts, gain perspective with some old-fashioned fun. With Mercury awakening that restless streak, perhaps even book a quick holiday. Alternatively, hire a bike this weekend or explore an out-of-theway place. A dose of fresh air should work wonders for your mindset. LUCKY NUMBERS: 2, 12, 19, 28, 38, 40
