JACQUELINE BIGAR
Your Horoscope for Tuesday, May 8
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Assume a low profile for the moment, if you can. You could feel as if someone is refusing to work with you or is creating his or her share of hassles. Overthinking or hyperawareness is not likely to make a difference at this point in time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A friend could add confusion to your day. Chatter marks your interactions, and the unexpected is likely to occur. Your sunny personality emerges. You’ll need to change gears quickly. Realize what is needed to defuse an argument.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care a lot about. Keeping the peace with friends and loved ones who are constantly espousing new ideas could be overwhelming. The unexpected runs riot through your relationships.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You need to reach out to someone you care a lot about. How you deal with this person could vary substantially, depending on your mood. Stay upbeat and be aware of your surroundings. Your instincts come through for you in a big way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) One-onone relating could change your perspective about a personal matter. Ask for feedback from a loved one who knows how to deal with an important issue. Extremes become likely as you reach out for more of what you want.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to others, and listen to the feedback you get. You’ll know when a situation is under control. A partner could be unpredictable. Be more forthright in how you deal with a personal matter. Others prove to be highly responsive to the unpredictable.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be sensible about how much you can get done. An associate could be much more dependent on you than you realize. Stay centered, no matter what is going on. You can’t keep a personal matter on the back burner much longer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Eye the long-term ramifications of a significant issue. Express your compassion in an important relationship. You know what works best for you. Open up to new possibilities. Romance sizzles if you are emotionally ready for a change.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Understand what is happening. You know what direction you want to head in. Emotions run high, no matter how intense or relaxed you are. Try to understand just how much a change of direction is likely to affect your life.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in a situation that allows you to better understand your limitations. You relate well to a loved one, and you can easily grasp his or her ideas. The longer you work with a difficult situation, the more likely you are to find a solution.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel constricted, yet somehow you still are able to blow right past a limitation or boundary. Honor a fast-changing issue right away. Changes occur quickly and efficiently. Others might be in denial.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) How you work through a problem reflects your open-mindedness. If you stay connected and in touch with your feelings, you will gain a new insight. If you can detach a bit more, you will see the big picture and the path out of the maze.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (May 8) This year you often take the lead in touchy but important situations. You have an offbeat style that others find easy to get behind.
