JENNY BLUME predicts your destiny for 2-8 MAY

Taurus 21 APRIL – 21 MAY

Embrace the power of teamwork! Couples might find themselves reconnecting over a shared project, while at work, a group effort could lift the whole vibe. Why not organise an overdue gettogether for the weekend or take a trip down memory lane, perhaps literally.

STAR TIP These feel-good stars could introduce you to a fun new crowd. ADELE As she turns 34 on 5 May, the award-winning songstress will definitely be celebrating with boyfriend Rich Paul.

Gemini MAY 22 – JUN 21

If your head’s spinning, exercise should keep you feeling grounded and, as a bonus, social sports like tennis, golf or bowls might rekindle a flagging friendship. Before next week, why not confront a health-related problem or sort out a messy situation at work?

STAR TIP

Singles, don’t let someone’s occupation or nerdy image put you off.

Cancer JUN 22 – JUL 23

Your energy and zest for life might surprise all! Some Crabs will step into a more responsible role this month, while others will join forces with a like-minded group. As Venus draws supportive people into your world, your faith in humanity will be restored.

STAR TIP Look out for a midweek offer or surprise that means the world!

Leo JUL 24 – AUG 23

Nothing will go quite as planned this month, but as one door shuts, another is likely to swing open. An unexpected prize or promotion might even appear. If electrical items are on your wishlist, grab them this weekend, before Mercury turns retrograde.

STAR TIP May should perhaps be renamed the “Season of Second Chances”.

Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23

Feet feeling itchy? That restless streak needs satisfying, so start making plans – just check the fine print because Mercury is turning retrograde. If you can’t get away, why not play tourist at home? You might be surprised by what you find... and who you bump into!

STAR TIP If an unusual topic has caught your eye, it’s time to learn more!

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23

New ventures could get you dreaming, but don’t rush into anything too risky as Mercury is poised to turn retrograde. June should bring progress, so for now, focus on recharging your batteries. These social stars are tailor-made for picnics and shared walks.

STAR TIP Anything planted under Friday or Saturday’s fertile sky should thrive.

Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22

Feel snowed under? May looks a tad hectic, but with your love sphere lighting up, expect loads of fun and laughter in the mix. Getaways or shared pastimes could strengthen bonds for couples, while for singles, cultural events might set the scene for romance.

STAR TIP Wear an amethyst ring or pendant to attract luck and protection.

Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 22

It’s all about making improvements this year – to your home, health and quality of life. Pursuing a passion could make sense, not just for personal reasons but for your financial security too. Some Archers may even discover a talent for coaching or healing.

STAR TIP Couples could find talks touching on some deep topics this month.

Capricorn DEC 23 – JAN 20

You’re turning into a powerhouse! Whether it’s a charitable cause, an energetic pastime or a home-related project, it’s time to make a difference. If a health issue has been dragging you down, an alternative approach might produce good results. Get experimental!

STAR TIP Late autumn’s chatty stars might turn you into a social butterfly.

Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19

Wondering where you’re heading? The May eclipses could trigger a reappraisal, but in the meantime, schedule in some R&R. Concerts, comedy nights, games days... Let your hair down! And singles, look out for someone local who’s about to liven things up.

STAR TIP As the weekend draws closer, a few celebrations may be in order.

Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20

Life looks busy this month, so be selective about what you take on – and don’t fall into the martyr trap! On the upside, get set to be wined, dined and, if single, quite possibly wooed as well. It might stretch the budget, but as they say, you only live once. Enjoy!

STAR TIP Start packing! A last-minute deal might be too good to pass up.

Aries MAR 21 – APR 20

Losing sleep over a stressful situation? A dose of old-fashioned fun should put things back into perspective. As Mercury awakens that restless streak, book a holiday, hire a bike or explore an out-of-the-way place. And remember that the best things in life are free!

STAR TIP Looking for romance? Plan something special for Sunday.
