HOROSCOPE Thursday, May 2, 2019

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This year, you’ll lean toward introversion. You have a difficult time integrating information or understanding others’ actions. Detach as much as possible. If single, you’ll tend to attract suitors who are emotionally unavailable. Take your time dating before committing. The second part of the year fosters greater closeness and perspective. If you’re attached, you and your partner often cannot be found. You enjoy a new closeness. ARIES understands you too well!

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): You attempt to approach a matter closely and with caring. You discover that the more understanding and sensitivity you express, the better the end results are. A boss or higher-up could nix an idea -- and would do so no matter what. Tonight: Let some wildness out.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): You hear more by approaching a personal situation from a low-key stance. Listen in order to discover where someone is coming from. If you want to make inroads, you’ll succeed with a gentler touch. A partner might be full of positive energy. Tonight: Playing the night away.

GEMINI

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Take charge of a project. Others seem to be more in touch with your intent and clarity. A partner or associate could be stubborn and not particularly accessible. You opt to go on your individual path to get to the end result. Tonight: Don’t stir the pot.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One-on-one relating points to a more relaxed attitude. You find that a change is possible for dealing with a creative project.

LIBRA
