YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE | May 2 to 8 2021

TAURUS

April 20 to May 20

The question is, how are you managing your emotions - because, believe it or not, they're the key to your success. If you truly believe you're capable of anything, then you are. Right now, there's a new you struggling to emerge but first you have to let go of the old stories you tell yourself. Abundance is in the air, and there are plenty of willing helpers in your space. Accept all offers with gratitude.

GEMINI

May 21 to June 20

Still hiding from the world? Well, the world's having none of that. So if you're constantly being dragged out of your treehouse to deal with some crisis, ask yourself what it is you're avoiding. Besides, conflict resolution can be a lot more entertaining than it looks. There's a wonderful sense of personal power that comes with taking charge of your life.

CANCER

June 21 to July 22

You're working yourself into one of your frenzies, and the wires are stretched far too tight. The problem, of course, is that you think no-one can do the job as well as you can. So either get yourself cloned, or take a chance on someone new. Just because they're not doing it your way doesn't mean they're not doing it well. Besides, what's the worst that can happen?

LEO

July 23 to August 22

This is not a good time for power games and if you insist on playing anyway, you'll lose. Why not concentrate instead on your really interesting love life? You might even let yourself relax enough to feel happy just because you're alive. If you don't feel it yet, fake it until you can. Organise candle-lit dinners and moonlit serenades. You're good at that.

VIRGO

August 23 to September 22

Pushed in one direction and pulled in another? Don't resist. If you feel as though you're starting from scratch, change your perspective. You have assets now that weren't there before and wisdom enough to amaze. The good news is that real freedom is just moments away. Write down your plan of action, understanding that you'll have help every step of the way.

LIBRA

September 23 to October 22

Generosity and compassion won't resolve all problems, but they'll go a long way towards showing you care. And the people around you need to know that now. Sure, there are moments when you could cheerfully kick them all out, but that's on the odd occasion. Besides, there'll be times when your cash flow needs a little help and it's good to know there'll be someone around to lend a hand.

SCORPIO

October 23 to November 21

Now here's a real testing time for all you control freaks out there: there are so many changes going on around you, you're likely to become obsessive in your determination to hang on to the moments. You'll have to learn to trust the process, and let it happen. In the meanwhile, why not dig a little deeper to find out what's really going on? All that power can be used any way you want, so find a useful outlet.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 to December 21

Just when you thought the tedium of money shortages was going to trip you up, someone rushes in with a basket of goodies. There are powerful energies on tap, so if you need help, ask. Knowing what you've been through and survived, the odd hurdle will hardly be noticed. It's time to show courage. All you need now is a list of desires so you know where you're headed.

CAPRICORN

December 22 to January 20

The most extraordinary breakthroughs speed up your life in ways that weren't even on your radar. And being the slow-moving sort you are, you're wondering whether panic is the appropriate response. The point is, there's a new cycle in place and it's offering you a chance to start again - but differently this time. Might as well get on the bus. It could be fun.

AQUARIUS

January 20 to February 18

Expect the unexpected. Which means there's no point sitting about ticking items off your list of demands. Weird twists of fate and peculiar energies are changing the end of your story. But that doesn't mean you won't be happy with the way it turns out. The trick, though, is to remain flexible enough to spot a good thing when it comes along.

PISCES

February 19 to March 20

Unaccustomed as you are to temper tantrums, you're almost frightened when they happen. In fact, if the truth were known, you have no idea what you're so upset about. So how about this: you wish you were more assertive, but lack the courage to say what you mean. You wait until you're so frustrated you lose your cool. The planets are shifting now, building your self-esteem. Calmly reassess.

ARIES

March 21 to April 19

The firing line has shifted to your left and you're being offered some room to catch up. Just because the adventures are on hold for now doesn't mean they won't be back. Besides, your health is squawking as some serious imbalances show themselves. It's detox time for you. A massage wouldn't go amiss either. After that, let it be known that you're open to offers. You'll be amazed at what's available.
