Georgia Nicols horoscopes for May 7, 2016

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions until noon Chicago time. After that the Moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a powerful day. Do note the Moon Alert regarding shopping for anything other than food and gas. Today you see new ways to boost your income plus new uses for your possessions. Tackle spring cleaning projects in garages, lockers and storage areas.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Whatever you do today to re-energize your health or exercise your body will bring you a great benefit! You will get great results for whatever effort you put out. Therefore, do something! Anything, even a 10-minute walk will be a positive boost. Trust me.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are working alone or behind the scenes. Today you will notice that you are more powerful than usual. However, you might also attract someone powerful to you. Either way, your ability to transform and improve everything around you is mighty. (Mighty is such a great word.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will express yourself powerfully with others today — no question. Basically, you want to get things done and you want to use the energy of others to help you do this. Actually, this is exactly what you can do today, especially if what you want to get done improves the lives of others as well as your own.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You make a powerful impression on others today, especially bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Knowing this, surely you can figure out a way to use this to your advantage? However, if announcing something important or volunteering for anything, wait until the Moon Alert is over. Watch the clock.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

In discussions with others today, you might revise your political or legal opinions about something. Or you could change your mind about some lofty idea (or prejudice) because you can see things with new eyes today. Some of you might even have a conversion experience. (Oh my.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Wait until after the Moon Alert is over to renegotiate important deals about shared property, inheritances, taxes or debt. But you will do something. You might also do something to turn over a new leaf and improve yourself and your surroundings. (Impressive!)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A discussion with a partner or close friend will be powerful today if you discuss the relationship itself. Basically, you will want to improve things. You want your style of relating to this person to be better and the relationship itself to be smoother and more enjoyable. This is a win/win solution.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Look around you to see how you can improve your job plus the way you do your job. You might even improve something to do with the care of a pet. However, postpone important decisions and purchases until after the Moon Alert.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a powerful, passionate, romantic day! Lovers might want to plan something special. However, all events, especially sports events, will be intense, competitive and very keen because people want to offer their best today!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are in such a resourceful frame of mind, you will see new uses and applications for things that you already own today. How clever! This is also a good day to make repairs to appliances and things at home that need to be refinished or redone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your style of talking to others today is so direct and so powerful, you will be successful if you’re in sales, writing, marketing, teaching, acting or anything where you use your speech in an influential way. Yada, yada, yada.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Alexander Ludwig (1992) shares your birthday today. You are often devoted to a cause because you are passionate about your beliefs. Your passion includes your love of beauty, literature and music. This is a year of choice. You will likely make an important decision. In the first half of the year, reduce your overhead expenses so that you are financially strong later in the year. Happiness is having alternatives.
