Horoscope for Thursday, May 7, 2020

Moon Alert

Until 9:15 p.m. Chicago time, we have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Financial issues might come to a head because of the full moon. Nevertheless, as Mercury dances with Neptune, you might be tempted to paint a rosy picture on things. Perhaps something looks better than it really is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is the only full moon opposite your sign all year. This is why you might be at odds with a close friend or partner. Nevertheless, your ESP is heightened, which allows you to “tune in” to others with greater sensitivity. Interesting!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today’s full moon might bring a situation related to your health or a pet or your job to a head. If so, you will instinctively know what to do because you are in touch with your vibes and your inner being. Trust your hunches.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Issues with kids might arise. They might have hissy fits or meltdowns because of the energy of the Full Moon. Meanwhile, you are tuned in to the needs and wants of friends or a member of a group. It’s as if you can read someone’s mind. (Maybe you can?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might feel pulled between the demands of home and family vs. the demands of your career and public reputation because of the opposition set up by the full moon. Whatever happens, you will stay in touch with your outer world and your public status.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be careful because today’s full moon creates slight accident-prone influence. This means you have to be aware and mindful. Think before you speak; think before you act. Make sure you are clear about important ideas before you endorse them.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Disputes with the government or with someone about an inheritance or anything to do with taxes and debt might be resolved. Furthermore, you will feel sympathetic to the needs of others. This is a good thing, but do not ignore your own self-interests because you count, too.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the only full moon in your sign all year is taking place. This could introduce increased tension with you and someone close to you. Fortunately, Mercury, opposite your sign, in touch with Neptune, will increase the sensitivity of your communications with others. It also increases someone else’s ability to “read” you. (You’re all vowels!)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid work that requires attention to detail and solid logic because today an element of confusion exists at your job or for any task that you set yourself. (This also includes important decisions regarding pets.) Think carefully before you make any decisions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Fun activities with kids might appeal to you today because you’re in a playful, fanciful mood. You might bring this same mood to a romantic situation. Nevertheless, today’s Full Moon could create confusion. Tread carefully.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You cannot ignore the demands of home and family even though you feel pulled in another direction. If you explore matters at home or within the family, you will find that this is where your sympathies lie. People are aware of you because you are high visibility.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an accident-prone day for you because of the energy of the full moon. This means you have to pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy. Meanwhile, your psychic abilities are heightened. (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

CBE, physicist/meteorologist Joanna Haigh (1954) shares your birthday. Although you value your security, you put the needs of others before your own. Because this is a year of teaching and learning, you will learn something that sets you in a new direction, which could be crucial for your success next year. Explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are.
