Monday, May 1st
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You sometimes believe there are no real restrictions and you can do as you please, but the planets warn you could be heading for a fall if you refuse to play by the rules. Powerful forces are on the rise, so watch your back at all times.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
It may be true that a bit of what you fancy does you good but it doesn’t follow that a lot of what you fancy will be even better for you. On the contrary, if you overindulge today there is every chance the universe will make you sick.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
You may have the power to force people to do your bidding but that does not mean you have to use it. With Mercury, your ruler, moving retrograde at the moment you would be wise to let others make their own choices – and their own mistakes.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Dealing with someone in a position of power could be somewhat stressful over the next 24 hours, so promise yourself now that no matter how obstructive they may be you won’t lose your temper. That could be precisely what they are hoping you will do.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
You have always been adventurous and there is no reason why you should change your ways now, but as Pluto begins its retrograde phase in the partnership area of your chart today there may be stiff opposition to your plans. Fight for your right to be different.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
The message of the stars as the week begins is that you must not rush what you are doing, both in your personal life and in your work. Despite what some people say there is no deadline that you have to meet. Move at your own speed.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
You would be wise to avoid fights and feuds of any kind today. Even a minor dispute with a colleague or employer could quickly degenerate into all-out conflict and no one will benefit from that. Do everything you can to keep the peace.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
Don’t worry too much if you feel out of sorts as the new week begins because with Pluto, your ruler, beginning its retrograde phase your passion for life is sure to dip a little. Take it easy for the next few days – you don’t have to prove yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
The planets warn if you carry on taking risks left, right and center there is sure to be a reckoning further down the line. Have fun by all means today but keep in mind at all times that you cannot expect everything to go your own way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
Do everything you can to stay on the good side of people in positions of power. As Pluto begins its retrograde phase employers and other authority figures are likely to be easily annoyed, which could impact you financially if you say the wrong thing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
What occurs today will compel you to change what you don’t want to change. It may be frustrating but this is one of those occasions when you have no choice in the matter, so go with the flow and make the best of a bad situation.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
If you are smart you will recognize that forces way beyond your ability to control are now in charge and all you can do is go along for the ride. Keep your head down and don’t do anything that might draw unwanted attention from the powers that be.
BIRTHDAY MONDAY:
Tread carefully this year, especially on the work front where different factions will be competing for your support. Somehow you must find ways to please everyone while still watching out for your own interests. It will be hard but it could also be fun.
