Today’s horoscope for May 8 will see one sign get unexpected visitors, while another holds off on major changes
It’s Thursday, and one star sign has travel on the agenda, while another says something they might regret.
There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.
These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A careful friend or partner will be urging you to handle your finances more carefully especially when it comes to joint resources. Are you in the habit of relying too heavily on your credit card? Think twice before applying for another loan. Ask yourself whether you really need an expensive item you’re about to buy.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
If you’re not feeling particularly motivated, take a step back. Don’t feel obliged to continue with anything that gives you no pleasure. You can’t be at your best all of the time and for that reason you should avoid pushing yourself into activities you aren’t keen on. Tomorrow, you will feel much better.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Your focus should be on the people who really matter to you, today. This means prioritising your close friends and family. People are relying on you to carry out promises you have already made and it will be keeping commitments to your loved ones that is of the utmost importance.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Your life might feel chaotic at times as you suddenly need to adjust to some unexpected change. Circumstances around you are influencing your perspective. Something you see or hear will cause you to change your mind about an important matter. This is all a big part of your personal development. Go with the flow.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
Agree to join forces with a talented friend or colleague and together, you will achieve something incredible. Neither of you will have anticipated such a pleasing outcome. Are you single? Don’t hesitate to strike up a chat with someone who catches your attention.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
Appliances break down which means plans need to be put on hold in order to deal with these. Minor issues will be resolved satisfactorily despite the inconvenience they will seem to cause. Be prepared for an unexpected visitor to turn up at your door.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
You could find yourself pleasantly surprised by the gifts, treats and favours other people want to give you, today. Stay open to receiving and be prepared to respond quickly. Don’t overthink it. Just express your gratitude with a simple, “Thank you.”
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
Plans you had thought would work out well now appear a little grim. You are perfectly capable of working with others but you also shine when left to work on your own. Progress can be made but this won’t be without a few challenges. Hold off from making any major changes.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
Whatever you take on now, strive to give it your best. Failing to do so could attract the unwanted attention of your boss or a senior colleague. Remember your reputation is at stake so make it your intention to turn a good job into an outstanding one.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
You will need to take action immediately when a job or task comes up that has an urgent feel about it. It may not be the most exciting thing you will be doing today but it definitely is important. Travel could be on the agenda for you, later.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
Family matters are quite serious at the moment. Conversations with a parent or older relative will feel stilted. The atmosphere both in the home and workplace feels awkward and as if something is going on that you aren’t being told about. Let your own responsibilities be your main focus.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
It will be hard to avoid a domestic drama when a relative or housemate’s behaviour takes you by surprise. Be careful not to say anything you might later regret. Also, keep an eye on your bank account and any shared assets in order to stay informed about your situation.
