Horoscopes
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 3, 2018:
This year you open up to new adventures and seem more willing to relate directly to key loved ones. Sometimes it appears as if you have a shyness about you, but that trait is likely to dissipate over the course of the year. Make it OK to be practical and conservative in your approach. If you are single, you might meet someone of significance before next winter. Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, the two of you seem more heavily intertwined than in the recent past. Your relationship will benefit as a result. Capricorn likes your earthiness.
