Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Thursday, May 16, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Now that you are reviewing the events triggered by last week’s New Moon, you are realising how important it is that you let go of certain long-standing plans. While once these fitted in perfectly, the pace is much swifter and they are causing problems. Ask others to join you in devising workable changes.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

One of your greatest assets is your sense of humour. It enables you to deal with setbacks while recognising how much you are learning from them. Admittedly, certain people would benefit from following your example. Mention it. You will be surprised how they welcome your thoughts and advice.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

For ages you have been trying to find a way to get involved in certain activities that others not only enjoy, but are constantly talking about how exciting they are. Think twice about this. The fact they find these exciting, but that by no means indicates that you will. You might even find them unbelievably dull.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You are sometimes surprised by how little attention others pay to the emotional ups and downs of those around them. However, as a Cancerian, you are far more aware of such matters, often more than the individuals themselves are. Still, you are not their counsellor, so have no obligation to untangle their dramas.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

While you are not narrow-minded, you do tend to avoid committing to changes you fear will be time-consuming. At the moment, however, you have no choice. The secret? Get others involved. Their situation may be different from yours, but learning about their experiences will be very helpful.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Planning ahead may be wise and regarded as a virtue. However, the current changeable environment is being triggered by the Sun’s recent link with Uranus, planet of the unexpected. While it was a few days ago, if you want to benefit from the changes, you will need to be flexible.

Your horoscope for the whole of May

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

As a Libra, you have an amazing ability to win over even those who are firmly against certain plans. The irony is that you are now beginning to question those arrangements. Tempting as it is to keep those concerns to yourself, the sooner you discuss them, the more swiftly you will find workable solutions. 

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Annoying as the sudden events that have forced you and others to rethink certain lasting arrangements may be, they are inevitable. Once you accept that, you will take advantage of your skills as a Scorpio to devise a clever way around those obstacles. Begin now and within days everything will be settled.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You rarely think about it, mostly because you are somewhat obsessed with turning certain plans into action, and that into a lasting reality. However, times have changed, enough that you are urged to rethink those plans. Once you begin asking serious questions, you will realise how timely these are. 

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

As a practical earth sign, before making or committing to plans, you gather as much information as you can. However, with so much changing so swiftly, this hasn’t been easy. Out of character as it may be, adopt a more easygoing approach. You’ll be surprised by the amazing ideas you come up with.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Few things are more annoying than, having invested considerable thought, discussion and brainstorming into ways to resolve tricky situations, to then find the circumstances in question are shifting. Be patient. This will soon make sense. In short, others were aware of your efforts. That alone had the desired result.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

You don’t think of yourself as a perfectionist until you deal with individuals who clearly don’t even care about getting things right. While, initially, you assumed they would want to discuss which option would be best, now you’ve realised they don’t care. The good news? Plans are entirely yours to make.

As a Taurus you benefit from being ruled by Venus, the planet of life’s joys and its practicalities. And this birthday is about reviewing those. While certain passions are unchanging, you are stuck with others out of a hope things will improve or because you are hesitant about shaking things up. However, judging by your birthday chart, that’s exactly what’s happening. Forget about “waiting and watching”. The sooner you embrace those changes, the better.
