for HOROSCOPES
For the week 30 Apr - 6 May
TAURUS
Your ruling planet Venus is in your sign, making you hedonistic and laissez-faire. Your energy levels aren’t great so if you can take some time off, do so. Delicious food, pleasant company, time to get tarted up and lounge around – great, if you can get it. The only problem is you could feel guilty and imagine people are criticising you behind your back. You could also fear you’re letting important stuff slide and an older person or someone in authority is going to be offended. These doubts are in your head. The truth is, recharging your batteries now will make you more effectual, long-term. So, relax!
GEMINI
Your friendship group is totally buzzing and you’re dealing with that old demon FOMO. The demands of your career or any responsible role you have are quite heavy right now and you won’t always have the time to party. There is also a person (or persons) relying on you and, although you find your caring role fulfilling, you long to escape. The last thing you should do is try to be everywhere and burn the candle at both ends. This is one occasion when you need to make choices and discriminate about how you spend your time. Peace for self-nurture matters, more than social buzz.
CANCER
You tend to keep your ambitions to yourself, yet pursue them tenaciously – and never more so than at the moment, when you seem to be drawing energy from an unseen source. You’re resourceful at finding necessary wherewithal, but you’ll also spot if anyone is trying to manipulate you into parting with your own cash. Venus promises happy gatherings with friends, but something you thought buried could come to light and change people’s attitudes. Never mind – you’ll be more than capable of coming out with some home truths yourself. What you say will be listened to by someone influential, so choose your words with care.
LEO
You feel like show-boating, and why not? Pride in your achievements is natural. However, be careful not to provoke jealousy in a partner, friend or co-worker. You may expect them to be pleased for you – and indeed they doubtless are – but no one likes to be cast into shadow. Try to find something that you can all celebrate rather than eclipsing others. Mars in your fellow Fire sign Aries spurs you to take a journey. It would be great to challenge yourself, but don’t let your impulsiveness bounce you into signing up for a holiday that is in some way ‘too much’. Your Significant Other could have helpful advice – listen.
VIRGO
Joint financial arrangements can be sorted this week. Detailed information comes to light, and you see the advantage of dotting i’s and crossing t’s – as if you ever doubted this! Your ruling planet Mercury leads you with a fine-tooth comb
