JACQUELINE BIGAR
Your Horoscope for Wednesday, May 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could surprise yourself with how much you are able to get done. If you want to tackle another project, do. A boss or someone who frequently observes you could be taken aback by your spunk.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t hesitate to express your feelings. You will find an associate to be irritable, especially if you bottom-line an issue. It might feel as if this person has slammed the door on you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A friend might be encouraging a loved one to express him- or herself more directly. At first this change could cause you some distress, especially as you no longer are used to this behavior.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take charge rather than watch a situation spiral out of control. Once you show interest in this matter, others will too. Someone could be vying for control.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your high energy and vast knowledge are likely to point you in a new direction. Your ability to move forward despite obstacles and an ongoing hassle could define your success.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be in the position of trying to make a situation change. However, for that to happen, you’ll need the other party involved to work with you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to someone else. A conversation, which you would like to keep diplomatic, might actually evoke the opposite response. Know when to back off.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be tired and unwilling to follow through on keeping a firm hand on your spending, or on some other matter involving your funds. Honor what is happening within your immediate circle. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You can be sarcastic at times, and this trait probably will emerge today. Try to detach before you say something you’ll regret. You could have a grievance with someone you interact with today that is likely to come out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Stay centered, especially when handling a personal matter. You might not be aware of the depth of your feelings toward a family member. Suddenly, you could feel irritation or anger for no reason. Be honest with yourself about what is going on.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be true to yourself and talk about your feelings, especially with a friend. How you phrase what you say could affect this person’s reaction. You’ll have a sense of direction but no idea about how to handle the moment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have been. A boss or someone whom you must answer to suddenly might be somewhat bellicose. A goal that was just within reach could vanish into thin air if you are not careful.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (May 4) This year your drive and follow-through can sometimes become a problem for others. Be sensitive to others’ needs. You inadvertently could turn into a very controlling person because of these qualities.
