Daily Horoscope for Sunday, May 9, 2004

Moon Alert

Warning: avoid shopping or making important decisions from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. EDT today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Avoid making important promises or commitments to parents, bosses and important people today. It's also a poor day to shop. Most of your decisions will have a fuzzy, unrealistic quality about them. Forewarned is forearmed!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a good day for daydreaming, talking to others about impossible ideas, and stretching your mind in a creative way. However, don't agree to anything important. This is all just pie-in-the-sky stuff. Relax.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a great day to schmooze with friends and discuss casual topics. Feel free to pontificate or hold forth on any subject. However, just keep it to that. Don't make any deals or promises. Don't agree to any requests from others. (OK -- you can pass the salt. But that's it.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Tread carefully. Don't take on any heavies -- this includes parents, authority figures, teachers and the police. Just smile and keep walking. This is definitely not the day to make waves about anything. If you don't like the looks of something -- just avoid it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You feel the urge to tidy up your scene a bit today. That's fine. Go ahead; however, don't buy any items (shelves, cabinets or cleaning supplies etc.) This is not a good day to spend money. Just putter around your place. Put things in neat, little piles.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

There' s a lot you want to do right now to expand your world. You might want to go back to school or travel or both. These are wonderful impulses! You can think about doing these things today but don't sign anywhere on the dotted line. Just let these ideas cook in your head.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Mercury is opposite your sign, squaring today's Moon, which in turn is void of course. That means you should wear your green robe not your blue one. (Just kidding.) But it does mean that discussions with others are a bit unrealistic (or maybe not) and not quite what you expect.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a poor day for shopping, negotiating, wheeling and dealing, buying and selling or making important decisions. Just hold the phone. This won't be easy because there's lots that you want to talk about to someone. The talking part is OK. Just don't nail anything down. You'll have to change things later.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a wonderfully creative day for you! Express yourself in any way that you can. All the arts are extremely favoured. Ditto for playful activities with children, and interaction with professional sports. However, don't make important purchases today. Just express yourself!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family discussions will be extremely revealing today. People are inclined to be more frank and less guarded. If you want to get to the bottom of something, you just might do it. However, once things are aired and out in the open -- just leave it at that. Don't make big promises.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the perfect day to putter around home. Resist the urge to run to the store and buy more things. Not today. Just deal with whatever is at hand. And take lots of rests. It's that kind of day. If others want your agreement about something; "Talk to me tomorrow" is your answer.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You're definitely in the mood to go shopping today. Bummer. It's a poor day to spend your money. Whatever you get will not achieve its purpose. It will not satisfy you for any length of time. You'll only use it a little bit -- if that. (What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Albert Finney (1936) shares your birthday. You are fair, just, and have strong opinions about practically everything. When you do something, you do it right. You are very protective to your loved ones. You hate tyranny of any sort. This year, partnerships and your closest relationships are important.
