Georgia Nicols horoscopes for May 9, 2016

Moon Alert

Not until 12:45 p.m. Chicago time today do we have the “all clear” today to do business. After that, the Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day for business and commerce because it’s a good money day for your sign. It’s also a lovely day to shop for beautiful things if you are aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert above. Enjoy your day!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Despite retrograde Mercury taking place in your sign, this is a lovely day for you because the Sun and Venus are also lined up in your sign. That’s why you are so charming and diplomatic! It’s easy to be sympathetic with friends and charitable groups.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Some of you are dabbling in secret love affairs. (You love an adoring peanut gallery.) However, a strong planetary influence today makes you want to help someone who is less fortunate. You feel truly selfless and grateful to be of service to someone. (Impressive.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a great day to get out and socialize! For starters, you attract people to you. It’s also a good day to discuss financial arrangements with others or anything to do with the arts. You are in the zone, which is why you feel witty, articulate and fascinating!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you make a fabulous impression on bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs because the Sun is lined up with Venus at the top of your chart. Yes, everyone loves you. In fact, someone will ask you for your creative opinions about something to do with form, design, layout and appearance.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It’s Monday, and you want to be anywhere else except at work. You want to escape somewhere beautiful with fabulous room service. (White sands, cool drinks with little pink parasols in them and clear blue skies.) The good life! Do anything different today to give yourself the thrill of change and adventure.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a good day to explore mortgages or loans or ask for favors from others. However, be aware of the Moon Alert above before you initiate or make your pitch. Basically, you can benefit from the wealth and resources of others. Yay me!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Relations with partners and close friends are mutually affectionate and caring today. You virtually bask in the admiration of someone close to you. Because your PR skills are so excellent today, all your encounters with members of the general public will be positive and enjoyable.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Work colleagues are prepared to help you today because people view you in praiseworthy terms. Some of you might even get a raise. In addition, because of the admiration that others have for you, a work flirtation might occur. (Be still my beating heart.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Romance, love affairs, vacations, parties and social events are great choices today. Sports events and children’s activities will also please you because this is a fun-loving, lighthearted day. The arts will flourish along with anything to do with the hospitality industry and show business.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a great day to entertain at home. Likewise, it’s a good day to shop for beautiful things for your home, as long as you pay attention to the Moon Alert above. Family get-togethers will be affectionate and enjoyable.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You can sweet-talk anyone into anything today. In fact, this is a strong day for those of you who communicate for a living — writers, editors, actors, teachers and anyone in sales and marketing. Go do that voodoo that you do so well!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Candice Bergen (1946) shares your birthday today. You believe in justice and fair play, which is why you use your powerful presence and caring attitude to promote your values. This is the year you have been waiting for because you are ready for change. Take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. Expect a major change, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It’s time to test your future!
