Georgia Nicols horoscopes for May 5, 2016

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or big decisions until 12:30 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day for business and commerce. However, when it comes to important financial decisions, heed the advice of the Moon Alert above. After that, it’s all systems go. If shopping, you will enjoy buying beautiful things for yourself and loved ones.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The Moon is in your sign today moving slowly toward fair Venus, your ruler. This simply gives you a warm feeling in your tummy. After the Moon Alert is over, do whatever you want. Schmooze with others or buy wardrobe treasures. Yay me!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Four planets are hidden in your chart today, which is why you also want to hide. Perhaps you will choose to work alone or behind the scenes? By Saturday, the Moon will be in your sign, and that will be a whole different story!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a lovely day to schmooze with friends — younger friends, artistic friends and female acquaintances. You feel sympathetic and caring to everyone you meet, which is why they will respond in kind to you. (What goes around, comes around, especially friendships.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Personal details about your private life might be public today for some reason, especially with bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. After the Moon Alert is over, you might enjoy important purchases that help you to impress someone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Do anything to shake up your day today because you want adventure and a chance to learn something new! Travel if possible. If not, be a tourist in your own town. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Talk to people from different backgrounds because you want to expand your horizons!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a favorable time for you because you can benefit from the wealth and resources of others. People will give you things, offer you things or let you use what they own. This is a good time to get a loan or mortgage or to rely on the help of others. (Yes!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Both the Sun and the Moon are opposite your sign today, which means you have to cooperate. In fact, you have to do more than cooperate; you have to compromise. Therefore, be ready to go more than halfway when dealing with others.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

If you can come up with a more efficient, more effective and more productive way of doing things today — this will please you! You’re on a roll to improve your life (and to improve your health as well). Look around you. What can you do to make things better?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a playful, fun-loving day. Tap into your creative talents and find ways to express them if possible. Explore sports events, romance, love affairs, playful activities with children as well as anything to do with the arts and the movie and entertainment world. Enjoy!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Family discussions are important today, especially discussions with a female family member. In addition, you will prefer to cocoon at home today (if you can) because you want privacy and a comforting sense of security that comes from being among familiar surroundings.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A busy day! Short trips and conversations with others will keep you on the go. You might discover new places, see new faces and new ideas. Conversations with relatives and siblings will be warm and friendly. This is a good time to finish old business with relatives.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Henry Cavill (1983) shares your birthday today. You enjoy educating others for the purpose of enlightening them (and you enjoy an audience who will listen). Something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end now to welcome in something new this year. Although this is a year of service for you, it is also a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new future!
