Horoscopes
By Linda C. Black
Today's Birthday (May 3). Decide what you want and start toward it in May. Take time out for love in June. Reach a compromise with a tough competitor in July. Settle down in August in the place you want to stay. A secret is revealed in December. Travel plans get botched in January; go early or not at all. Apply old career skills in February to solve a puzzle. Use your experience in April or you'll learn a lesson the hard way.
Rating System: 10 is the easiest day, 0 is the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 3 — Get all your important business done as early as possible, including your shopping. A financial foul-up this afternoon could cause all kinds of problems. Visit out-of-town friends with your sweetie, tonight.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5 — You'll have more problems with just about everything this afternoon, so make all
the important decisions this morning. If you can't, stall until the end of the month. Tonight, hide out with your mate.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 3— Keep pushing to meet a big deadline. Communications will go most smoothly early in the day. There could be a massive break down later so have a back up plan ready. Do something really different this evening.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 9 — You're still lucky, but complications are arising. Get your serious business done before this afternoon. Also, make your reservations for this weekend then; you'll have trouble if you don't.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5 — A decision reached this morning will last a long, long time. If it's not going your way, stall. You'll have to hold off all month, though. You won't get a better opportunity until June.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —
Today is an 8 — Race around and get everything done as early as possible. Things start to turn to worms around the middle of the day. Concentrate so you can get an important job done.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 3 — Money's the theme again, and caution is required. Check everything that's coming in or going out. Mistakes will be rampant, especially this evening. Do your shopping from home.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — Your primary competitor could make a giant mistake this afternoon, and another one next week. So, if you want to make your own life easier, procrastinate. Run the clock out while you have the advantage.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
— Today is a2 — Not only is there a lot to do, but there are a lot of breakdowns and confusion. Your natural instinct is to cut and run, but fight it off. Get a tough job done today, and you'll enjoy your
weekend even more.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
— Today is an 8 — You're still lucky, but delays are beginning to set in. Push to get what you want in public as well as in private settings this morning. By this a*ternoon, the opportunities may be gone.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5 — Make up your mind this morning. If you really don't like the options, you'll have to stall for quite a while. It'll be the end of the month before you get better conditions for a big decision.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 9 — You're still powerful and your intuition is incredible. Other conditions are beginning to change, however, there will be more confusion later tonight, so finish a big project as early as possible.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment only.
