Daily Horoscopes for Mother’s Day, May 8th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The tentative Cancer Moon highlights our uncertainty about having too much forward movement in our lives. We may worry about other people’s reactions and could be tempted to slow down or even retreat. However, when we stop to consider someone else’s feelings, five impulsive Aries planets push us ahead again. Still, the Moon’s discordant square to the Aries planetary cluster makes action as uncomfortable as inaction. Middle ground is hard to find.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You mean well, but sometimes others still perceive you as being insensitive. However, today you are so connected to the moods of those around you that you might attempt to fix a difficult situation in order to make everyone feel better. You could appear to be someone’s champion at first, but assuming responsibility for another person’s emotions can lead to dependency issues and power struggles. Be a good friend without taking over.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can take a good feeling too far now that the Moon squares your key planet Venus and excessive Jupiter. Unfortunately, you probably won’t get away with overdoing anything today because instant karma is lurking just around the corner, ready to make you pay the price for ill-considered behavior. It is wise to acknowledge your limits prior to going over them. Don’t do anything you might later regret.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s been challenging to relax lately, but you will find your groove today, even if it’s a bumpy ride along the way. You are able to better comprehend what works for you, inspiring you to focus on your skills, rather than on your weaknesses. Pay attention so you know when to call it quits. Remember that taking the smartest idea to an extreme can turn the feeling of a job well done into one of dissatisfaction. Observing the emotional weather helps you to know when to stop pushing.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional needs can be quite overwhelming now that the Moon is visiting your sign. Fortunately, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem requesting something that you want. However, you could create trouble if you demand too much. Even if you don’t ask for anything, you may feel frustrated because you want more than you receive. But this isn’t the best time to be overly needy. Instead of being melodramatic, be grateful for the blessings you already have in your life.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your recent creative cycle may be coming to an end, elevating the significance of current events. It’s crucial to complete unfinished projects prior to beginning something new. Exercise caution because you might overlook what’s really happening; being eager for success is not the same as idealizing a new opportunity. You will be best served now by seeing things as they truly are and not as you would like to see them.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you truly want to meet your obligations while still responding to changing dynamics at work, you could grow tired of office politics and decide not to engage in the games any longer. But your emotional withdrawal is a very powerful statement on its own, for nearly everyone understands that you normally analyze all the possible moves before deciding what to do next. Make sure not to burn any bridges today that you might want to cross in the weeks ahead.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have mixed feelings about a significant relationship now. You are ready to take charge and do whatever is necessary to reach your goals. On the other hand, you are weary of feeling like you’re doing all the work. Either way will probably leave you wishing that you just listened to the other voice. The easy solution, however, is to keep busy in your pursuit of success without expecting too much from others.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It seems as if everyone is telling you something different now and you want to benefit from each and every point of view. However, it’s challenging to find the right balance between relying on your own experience and learning from others. Ironically, you can best see what’s around the corner now by using your intuition, instead of seeking another perspective. Although it’s usually an advantage to have multiple points of view, today your own opinion counts more than anyone else’s.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be extremely enthusiastic about several different projects that are coming to a confluence at the very last minute. But the Moon squares your key planet excessive Jupiter now, luring you into a delicious trap that may appear better than it is. There’s no cause for panic; it’s wiser to act with a well thought-out plan tomorrow than with reckless abandon today.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners can bring a highly emotional person to the forefront of your life today. And this may not be such an easygoing relationship now, for you might feel as if someone’s toying with your heart. Attempting to reach a compromise or even bringing in a mediator can raise the stakes on a developing power struggle. It’s your choice, so take the high road and disengage from all disagreements. Stepping back might be the simplest answer of all.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel as if you’re in the midst of intense passions today, tempting you to seek solace in a more intellectual platform, for that is where you naturally excel. Unfortunately, the Sun’s semisquare to your key planet Uranus emotionally charges your actions and quickly pushes you to the edge of discomfort. Indulging your senses appears enticing, but it’s actually a distraction from the real work at hand.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your creative process receives an energetic boost today when the Moon dynamically squares visionary Jupiter, your traditional ruling planet. Your active imagination is temporarily freed from fear and other emotional constraints, so your fantasies can take you nearly anywhere. Don’t dwell on the negatives; dream about all the amazing possibilities, instead.

Daily Horoscopes for May 7

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today’s astrological signature is an odd one because the sensitive Cancer Moon pulls our energy inward. Our emotions are powerful, yet we may not feel obliged to share what we’re feeling now. Meanwhile, we have a lot of positive things to say as sweet Venus tracks along closely with communicator Mercury until they join up on Monday. Nevertheless, our words are sparse and it could take a few more days before we actually say what’s on our minds.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It may be easier to withhold your anger now than to express what you actually feel. Remaining tight-lipped could seem safer because of your fear that you’ll share too much once you get on a roll. Unfortunately, relationships can cool if suppressed emotions turn into resentment. It might be wiser to sink into your feelings, put your thoughts in order and then speak your truth.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your imagination can lure you far from reality now, making it difficult to return. Your emotions may seem overwhelming, turning you into your own worst enemy. Above all, don’t try to go into denial, for you won’t be able to use logic to outmaneuver your feelings. Remain open to whatever happens today because your current goals will likely morph into something else. Ultimately, your unflappable determination enables you to get back on track. Don’t bother explaining anything until after you know you’re moving in the right direction.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your clever wit saves you from a difficult situation today. However, you still must carefully watch every step you take so you don’t make a social faux pas. Your lighthearted sense of humor can relieve the pressure in the immediate moment, but it doesn’t fix the underlying cause. Things are more complex than they appear now. Take your time and don’t be so quick to tap dance around the edge of the unknown.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might not like what you’re feeling because the Moon in your moody sign is stressed by Uranus, Pluto and Saturn. The pressure builds, placing you in an awkward position. You would prefer everything to be out in the open, but the present circumstances could require you to remain silent for now. Although you may not find resolution today, the tension will be easier to manage once you realize that it’s temporary.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Being confronted with an intense emotional outburst today might be exactly what’s necessary to awaken you from your complacency. Even if you believed that you had things under control, you’re now beginning to see the unfolding drama in a different light. The first step is to acknowledge that your current plan won’t be sufficient to get you through this power struggle. Thankfully, the intensity of your concentration should enable you to adapt to nearly anything that comes your way.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Handling the fallout from other people’s reactions can be unsettling today, especially if someone is resisting you at every step you take. Although you don’t want to retract your words, you might wish you hadn’t revealed the depth of your current feelings. Working with your emotions isn’t all fun and games now, but can prove to be very rewarding if you’re willing to stick with the process.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may not be as certain today about a few of your recent choices. Asking tough questions is healthy, but harboring self-doubt is not. The next few days might be frustrating because you can’t see very far into the future, making it nearly impossible to finalize your plans. Instead of allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by stress, engage the energy by doing chores around the house or working on an unfinished project. Rest assured that the dust will settle and you’ll gain clarity regarding your final answer.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have had no choice other than to go along with external circumstances that seem to be outside of your control. Today, your mild concerns could explode into more serious fears. The Moon’s opposition to your key planet Pluto may have you believing that the situation is worse than you imagined, whereas in truth, it’s probably not nearly as bad as you think. Take whatever steps are necessary to put things back on track, but don’t overreact. An emotional outburst will only stir up more trouble than it solves.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are usually quick to share what you’re thinking, but your impulsive tendencies may have you backtracking later on. Ironically, you’re probably correct in your analysis of the current situation; it’s just that everything is in flux today and you may jump to a conclusion prematurely. Fortunately, you will have an opportunity to reevaluate your choices and change your mind based upon what you learn later in the day.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A close friend or partner may seem overly emotional today, prompting you to withdraw. You have your own stuff going on and you’re not that eager to be sidetracked with someone else’s issues. Nevertheless, it’s important to stay present with your feelings to avoid forming unnecessary battle lines. A serious conflict won’t produce any winners, so you would be wiser to resolve problems through open dialogue. Make sure that everyone involved is willing to compromise before you give up more than you should.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are torn between digging deeply into your feelings today and overpowering them with direct action. In fact, the illusion is that both approaches seem to exclude the other. The solution is not straightforward because a sensible strategy must incorporate both your internal process and your apparent behavior. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are unsure of what to do next; engaging in an honest conversation with someone you trust is more useful now than getting fast results.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s challenging to stand up for yourself now, especially if a powerful person in your immediate environment thinks that they know how you should live your life. You might be reluctant to admit that your point of view is different because you’re not interested in defending your beliefs. Although this issue may resurface at a later date, it’s best to wait it out and say as little as possible. What seems critical today won’t be as important next week.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for May 6 – 8

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Emotional Lunar Tides

 May 6 – 8

Emotions hover close to the surface this weekend with the Moon in the supersensitive sign of Cancer. This is Luna’s home sign, making feelings stronger and ups and downs more likely. Generally, the nurturing Cancer Moon is good for familiar places, home cooking, cuddling, nostalgia, old movies and all those sweet protective things that make us feel safe.

Friday looks mellow until late at night when the cautious Cancer Moon crashes into an explosive 90-degree square with unsettling Uranus. This planet of shocks and surprises doesn’t flow well with tender Cancer, making this a time when flexibility is essential. Sudden changes of plans and moods don’t foster a sense of intimacy, although a wild night or impulsive fling with an inappropriate person can seem compelling to some.

The road doesn’t look any smoother on Saturday, starting with a snarky Moon-Pluto opposition in the morning and continuing on with a tense lunar square to Saturn later in the day. These transits are more about digging into the depths of our emotions, bringing unresolved issues to the surface or burying them with distractions and denial. Yet this can be a productive day for those willing to tackle tough problems. This cosmic atmosphere lends itself more to responsibility than playfulness as even minor concerns could block out the Sun with dark clouds of doubt.

Several stressful lunar transits give us a lot to talk about on Sunday and, if we’re honest about our feelings, barriers to intimacy could be blown away. Making a fresh start within ourselves and with others is a worthy reward for all this hard work.

Daily Horoscopes for May 5

General Daily Horoscope

 

We are still experiencing the excitement of what’s new in our lives since five planets are in pioneering Aries. However, the Sun is in practical Taurus, motivating us to finish what we start. But today’s jittery Gemini Moon speeds up our thinking so much that we may become too scattered to stay focused. Thankfully, a midday lunar trine to realistic Saturn might help us temporarily filter out the excess noise so we can actually get some work done.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It seems as if your hectic life keeps getting busier and busier. As much as you enjoy the hustle and bustle, you are looking forward to a quieter time. However, it won’t likely happen today. Fortunately, the fast pace feels good; you don’t have time now to worry about what’s not going right. Nevertheless, pick one task out of everything that’s on your plate and focus on it with all the determination that you have. The results may be more satisfying than you expect.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if your finances are a bit uneven today, even if nothing much has changed recently. But you probably won’t share your insecurities with others now, for you might believe that giving a voice to your fears will only make them worse. You don’t have to dwell on the negatives; take positive action instead — even if it’s as minor as paying a few bills. Anything that gives you a sense of control will help to ease your stress.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your friends may think that you’re not very grounded now that the Moon is moving through restless Gemini, but you are more stable than you appear. Nevertheless, your moods can fluctuate at a rapid rate today, so try keeping your opinions to yourself for a while before sharing them. Instead of running all over the map, speak your piece later on once you’re sure of what you want.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

There’s no need for you to push so hard at work now, especially if you have been focused on your career ambitions all week. It’s not that you can just take the day off, but you can keep your best ideas to yourself for a few more days, giving them a chance to mature. If you share too much of your current thinking today, others may stop listening. Let your patience work in your favor and give your strategy time to develop.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s nearly impossible for you to concentrate on the present moment with the Moon in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals plus five planets traveling through your 9th House of Adventure. Although you are looking forward with great anticipation, you must demonstrate your reliability today by putting in extra effort, because important events are unfolding at work. If you handle the immediate situation with integrity, the future will take care of itself.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have mixed feelings about a new project at work as the Moon moves through your 10th House of Career. Others are pushing you to make a decision today, yet you’re probably unwilling to make a commitment just yet — you may learn new facts that could motivate you to change your mind, or something better could come along. However, you can reduce the uncertainty and increase the stability in your life by choosing now.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be thinking about pursuing a new course of study that isn’t related to your career. Even if you have many choices before you, it’s logistically impossible to follow more than one path. Thankfully, the Moon’s harmonious trine to Saturn in your sign today can give you the clarity you need in order to make the smartest decision. After considering all your options, trust your intuition, pick your direction and get going.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are tempted to talk about your feelings today, even if you’ve been holding them back for a reason. You don’t intend to hurt anyone, but your direct approach might sound insensitive. It’s not what you say that can stir up ill will; it’s how you say it. Think twice before you blurt out the truth. You can still express yourself honestly while also treating others with kindness and respect.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be more curious than usual today as you seek other people’s opinions to help you clarify your own. It takes extra effort on your part now to pin someone down who continues to evade responding to your questions. Unfortunately, the more you push for resolution, the less likely you will get it. Step back and allow others to have some elbow room. You’ll become more confident of your perspective by looking within, rather than listening to anyone else.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

As a general rule, information isn’t something you collect unless you have a way to make use of it as you work toward your goals. You may be learning a lot at work now with the clever Gemini Moon moving through your 6th House of Employment, but you are hard-pressed to apply your new knowledge. Nevertheless, the tools you’re gathering can help you to express yourself in ways you haven’t yet imagined.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may have plenty to do at work, you could get antsy enough that you want to begin your weekend a couple of days too soon. You are able to come up with sufficient reasons to justify your restlessness, but all the talk in the world won’t make your busy schedule any less demanding. Fortunately, managing your calendar becomes easier once you decide to have fun with it, instead of worrying about fitting everything in.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your personal business could keep you hopping today as the light-footed Gemini Moon visits your 4th House of Home and Family. Unfortunately, it may take you longer than you expect to complete each and every task that’s now on your plate. Thankfully, your self-esteem is running high these days, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble responding to the current demands. Set your priorities by making a list to help you be more efficient.

Daily Horoscopes for May 4th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The day begins with the stubborn Taurus Moon forming a difficult aspect with judgmental Saturn, provoking a possible standoff between our needs and our responsibilities. But the Moon’s shift into quicksilver Gemini at 1:09 pm EDT encourages us to change our minds as quickly as the wind on a spring day. Although Gemini is a rational Air sign, we still could be tempted to express our irrational feelings now as the Moon squares confusing Neptune.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are geared up to make it through the uncertainty of the day, but circumstances could change dramatically enough that you must modify your agenda. It’s not wise to take success for granted now since you must work extra hard to see progress. Taking shortcuts won’t work, either. Putting on an air of bravado won’t do the trick today, so get serious and keep bringing your scattered energy back to the tasks at hand.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon forms an uncomfortable semisquare with your key planet Venus today, tying your feelings up in knots. A simple desire becomes more complex as you obsess about the power that love has over you. However, your worries may just be the result of an overactive imagination. Don’t waste time thinking about something that may never happen. You’ll be happier if you keep your attention on the present moment.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is finally regaining speed as it continues to recover from its retrograde phase last month. Don’t be discouraged about your overall lack of progress on a creative project, for things should be turning around pretty quickly today. Nevertheless, it may be difficult to make up your mind with certainty now that the emotional Moon is back in your whimsical sign for a couple of days. Take your time before making any important decisions.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You need to begin a process of letting go now as the Moon moves through your 12th House of Endings. Your work may not flow as easily as you wish and there’s no easy way to force yourself through the current creative block. Don’t get hung up about something on the job that isn’t moving ahead; instead, watch the signs and see what clues you can derive. Once you figure out the message, you will be permitted to proceed to the next step.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The social aspects of your day may grow very complicated, pressuring you to contract your energy. However, you have personal business that must be attended to today, even if it’s not much fun. Once you push through your own resistance, everything seems to become easier, freeing up enough time for you to do something totally unexpected by your peers. Setting your mind on a particular accomplishment is a wise strategy, but things won’t necessarily turn out as planned. Let the element of surprise work in your favor.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s all about establishing healthy patterns now and sticking to them, whether you want to or not. Your place of employment may be a bit overrun with people experiencing powerful emotions, and you’re not interested in becoming one of them. Be fierce as you monitor your own performance in light of your career objectives. Make a few positive modifications to your daily routine before you try to progress further.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It may feel as if your relationships are extra tense these days, especially if you’re not getting your needs met. Your romantic urges are strong with flirty Venus and four of her planetary peers hanging out in your 7th House of Partners. You would rather be working with someone you like than being on your own now, and Messenger Mercury in impulsive Aries adds a false sense of urgency to your desires. Remember to relax; you really have more time than you think.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your emotional detachment can be disarming now because this isn’t your usual character. You are often the champion of intensity, but today your passionate living motif seems to be absent. You are able to smooth ruffled feathers, but your friends might be slightly uncomfortable because they cannot read your energy clearly through your layers of insulation. Keeping others on the outside may be the best way now to protect your vulnerable core. Secrets are sometimes useful, but don’t withdraw any more than is necessary.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You must pay careful attention to someone else’s words today, because there’s a lot at stake. This is a time of big changes and you don’t want to miss an important opportunity. Nevertheless, the most significant information comes from others with the Moon now visiting your 7th House of Partners. Be patient and the puzzle pieces will fall into place. Even if you’re sharing your own point of view, listen with care when relevant feedback is offered in return.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s often hard for others to argue with your sense of authority, but this isn’t true today. As you issue commands now you might be more obtuse than you realize. It’s challenging if you are feeling socially awkward, leaving you to doubt your ability to handle the current circumstances. Rest assured that your integrity is ultimately one of your greatest strengths, so don’t sacrifice it for the sake of convenience.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have an opportunity to share your feelings in a variety of ways today, but things might get complicated once you begin. However, it’s not a smart idea to stop midcourse, even if you cannot grasp the impact of your words. Fortunately, everything should make a lot more sense within a few days. Don’t waste time over-analyzing all the possibilities; the details will unfold soon enough.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have a lot going on beneath the surface today, but others might not notice. Even if they ask incisive questions, you’ll probably be able to smoothly evade their analytical probes. However, you must pay close attention, for someone may have less than honorable intentions. Keeping a healthy distance is a good idea if you’re not willing to have an uninvited guest digging through your personal life.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 3

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

We kick off the next emotional cycle with the sensual Taurus New Moon at 2:50 am EDT. However, the New Moon’s magical quintile with nebulous Neptune stimulates our imaginations by enabling us to see our lives from a more cosmic perspective. Plus, sweet Venus forms an anxious semisquare with Neptune, emphasizing our unfulfilled desires. Thankfully, the Taurus Moon allows us to balance visions of the future with the reality of the present moment.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It may appear as if you are at the top of your game today. Actually, you don’t even have to work very hard to amaze others with your finesse as you make your same old routine look like something totally new and different. But too much self-assuredness can lead you into trouble. Sloppy thinking or a hasty miscalculation could tempt you to take an unnecessary risk. Stick to the basics and save the fancy tricks for another day.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The pragmatic Taurus New Moon allows you to accomplish a lot, perhaps surpassing even your own expectations today. It’s great that you’re able to be so productive now, but it’s even more important that no one will be able to talk you out of your current ambitions. Your legendary bull-headed stubbornness enables you to overcome nearly any resistance, so set your goals high and then focus on reaching them.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The steady Taurus New Moon activates your 12th House of Fantasy now, increasing the tension between what’s real and what’s ideal. Thankfully, the practical Taurus energy gives you enough stability to transform an apparently unattainable dream into something that can actually take form. Don’t withdraw from the realm of unlimited possibilities because what manifests in the future begins in your imagination today.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s sensible Taurus New Moon highlights your 11th House of Groups, making this a fine time to strengthen your social network. Opportunities to build enduring relationships at work and play are likely to come your way; however, it may be up to you to make the first move. Sharing your long-term goals can be a catalyst that shifts the dynamics from a casual acquaintance into a deep friendship. It might feel risky to take the initiative, but an amicable overture to the right person can continue to benefit you well into the future.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s reliable Taurus New Moon falls in your 10th House of Status, making it easier to express yourself on the job. Although you’re able to explain a complicated recipe for success in very simple language, you may worry about your inability to execute your own strategy. Obviously, being an inspiring speaker now isn’t enough. Overcome your fear of failure and lead by example, so that others can more easily follow you.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The pragmatic Taurus New Moon reaffirms what you already know about success. Nevertheless, you may be overwhelmed by a large project unless you break it down into several subprojects and complete them one at a time. Avoid the temptation to make a mad dash to the finish line today, because it’s not as close as you might think. Fortunately, your drive for efficiency will help you shine, as long as you don’t attempt to do everything at once.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Libra is the sign of relationships, but today you crave more than just a pleasant interaction with someone. You need to sink beneath the attractive social veneers now or you could be left feeling unsatisfied. You know there is more to life and you want to experience it. But don’t act too obsessively or you might appear desperate. Intimacy is best when it develops naturally on its own.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The sensible Taurus New Moon activates your 7th House of Partners, influencing you to seek salvation from your complex life through an easygoing relationship. The persistence of Taurus offers the steadiness that you need, even if you are afraid of being limited by its simplicity. Ultimately, the choice is yours; the key to establishing an enduring relationship may hinge on your willingness to give up a little drama and overcome your fear of growing bored.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have a lot of work to do now, and starting it right away means that you’ll be finished even sooner. Creating consistency is critical since the earthy Taurus New Moon activates your 6th House of Habits. Starting a new job now is easier than ever with so many planets in spontaneous Aries. However, turning your initial excitement into an ongoing discipline is the next step to assuring your success.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may express yourself without a lot of forethought today, but you’ll still need to make a plan if you want to succeed. The Taurus New Moon in your 5th House of Creativity motivates you to take a chance, but you must follow through on what you start or your efforts will have been for naught. Trying something totally new can be a lot of fun; however, it’s crucial to come back to your senses and figure out how to accomplish what you set out to do in the first place.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Five planets moving about in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment suggests that those close to you may be quite supportive of your efforts now. Paradoxically, your lack of flexibility could make it difficult to integrate their good ideas into your overall plan. Don’t assume that your way is the only way; being open to the feedback you receive can make your work much less of a struggle.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The practical Taurus New Moon highlights your 3rd House of Communication, helping to ground the energy around you. Although the hectic pace may have settled down a bit, the noise isn’t completely gone. Nevertheless, it’s time to reflect on all that’s happened over the past month before taking a few deep breaths and moving on.

Daily Horoscopes for May 2nd

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Although the Moon’s entry into determined Taurus at 1:58 am EDT helps to settle the energy, it’s more of a sign of things to come with a new emotional cycle starting at tomorrow’s Taurus New Moon. We keep talking about slowing down and establishing a pace of life that we can sustain, but now the need to be practical is undeniable. However, the Sun’s disquieting quincunx with taskmaster Saturn indicates that even simplification can be complicated.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are conflicted when you feel the high-frequency excitement beginning to fade today. You’re relieved because you’re able to take a breath, but also sad to experience a pause in all the action. There’s no need to be concerned since the upbeat energy will soon return. Meanwhile, take advantage of your break by doing something special to recharge your system. Thankfully, your sense of renewed vitality will be useful when the energy picks back up in a couple of days.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although this could be a back-to-work day for you, it seems as if it will also bring you an opportunity to escape. It’s your turn to chill out, so even if you must show up on the job, don’t hesitate to create some personal time so you can contemplate your future. Others may think that you’re being too aloof, but they don’t necessarily understand how you Bulls process your emotions. Integrate your feelings through meditation and active daydreaming before doing anything about them.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are quite insistent about what you want these days as your key planet Mercury moves away from its opposition to restrictive Saturn, enabling you to think more clearly. Oftentimes, you are quite happy changing your mind, depending upon the usefulness of your affiliations. But now you want to make your decisions in response to your dreams, whether or not they are grounded in reality. Don’t get so caught up in being stubborn; let your natural flexibility lead the way, instead.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have the urge to socialize with some of your co-workers for no other reason than to talk about your plans and what you want to do in your future. Expressing your visions of an ideal life isn’t a substitute for making something happen here and now. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy exchanging ideas in a non-judgmental way that can remind you of what’s truly most important. Sharing is a two-way street; listening to others can inspire you to follow your dreams now.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be stuck in an ongoing argument with yourself today as you try to balance your needs with your responsibilities. Unfortunately, your spontaneity may be constrained by previous commitments, giving you less freedom today than you wish. Nevertheless, you know what you must do, even if you are also considering a quick escape. Being practical is the smartest course of action now, since you’ll have more opportunity for guilt-free play once your work is done.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are tying up loose ends because you can work at a steady pace now. Ignore anyone who tells you to work faster; you’ll instinctively do what’s best for your productivity. Luckily, you can effectively defend yourself today. Don’t be afraid to take a firm stand on an important issue, but try not to offend anyone else in the process.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A lighthearted relationship can grow more intense when feelings sink beneath the surface. Thankfully, you are able to describe your emotions with clarity today, but your communication style could clash with someone else’s approach. Go ahead and explain the best you can, but stop talking once you’ve made your point. Don’t be overly impatient; reaching closure might take longer than you think.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You just don’t understand why your co-workers don’t follow through on their promises. You would like to be more forgiving, but still someone can get on your nerves, provoking you to intervene. Unfortunately, throwing a temper tantrum won’t accomplish anything worthwhile. You cannot make anyone else change. Instead, you would be wise to accept full responsibility for your own emotional response and then simply let it go.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Becoming mired in unnecessary details is very annoying, since you typically prefer holistically focusing on the bigger picture. Nevertheless, you see a real necessity to find your way back to the basics today as you create a direct path through all the excitement. Don’t get lost in your work. Although you have a lot to manage now, it’s better to seek a healthy balance between your single-minded ambition and your adventurous spirit.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Sometimes being a hardworking Capricorn really does pays off. If you have been responsible all along, now you get to play. However, others may be jealous, especially if they still have unfinished chores that are infringing on their ability to have fun. Still, you’re far from perfect, and today might reveal something you should have already finished. Don’t take on too much stress; it’s a lot better to enjoy yourself while you can.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have personal obligations that you aren’t necessarily eager to address today. But you realize that procrastinating will probably delay everything else you need to do, too. Overcome your resistance and don’t make your domestic duties less important than they really are. It may not be easy to initiate action now, but you’ll feel more positive once you make some progress.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you have plans for the week, you might not want to change them once you put them into place. Although your stubbornness could work in your favor by helping you to be more productive, adhering to your agenda could become increasingly stressful. A bit of flexibility might help to ease a difficult situation if someone else is stuck. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference; with just a little effort, you could be a real hero.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, April 30

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

This is an intense weekend with five planets and the Moon in excitable Aries. But attractive Venus opposes repressive Saturn today, limiting our pleasure intake. We want instant satisfaction, yet Saturn delays gratification. Nevertheless, the Moon’s contact with the Venus-Saturn opposition tempts us to over-personalize our experiences. Thankfully, the restraint will be short-lived as we approach a confident Mars-Jupiter conjunction later tonight.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be getting tired of the same old story. You’re hot to trot today, but you must wait for one reason or another. But instead of getting yourself all worked up because you cannot have what you want now, try taking a more mature approach and acknowledge that you may have something important to learn. Others love your fiery approach to life, but they will respect you more if you can also be patient when it’s appropriate.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not allow yourself to have a good time now, especially if you believe that others will judge you harshly if you don’t deliver on your promises. Unfortunately, stern Saturn’s tense opposition to your key planet Venus turns you into your own taskmaster. There’s nothing wrong with catching up on chores; just don’t harbor resentment toward those who choose play over work today. Don’t worry; your chance for fun will be waiting for you later on.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are ready to lose yourself in a crowd today, whether at a party, a sporting event or the mall. It’s your way of temporarily forgetting about all your responsibilities, but this strategy won’t work no matter how invisible you feel or how fast you run. Fortunately, you can still enjoy yourself in a social setting as long as you don’t have escape on your mind. Make the most of your time with others and then return to the chores you set aside earlier.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are uncharacteristically motivated to take bold action because you want to demonstrate a more dynamic side of your personality today. But you could try too hard and end up feeling rather foolish if you think you have to do something out of the ordinary just to be accepted by your friends and family. Instead of playing all your cards out in the open, do what comes naturally. It might be wiser now to assume the role of the strong and silent supporter rather than taking center stage.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to have a little excitement in your life today and you’re ready to lead the charge on an adventure with your friends. Unfortunately, they may not be as enthusiastic as you are now. Instead of trying to get others to support your idea of fun, leave them to their more sedate ways and go off by yourself. When you’re done with your excursion, you can return refreshed and rejoin those you left behind.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re not interested in your typical analytical approach to relationships now; you are intrigued by juicier rewards that lure you out of your comfort zone. You feel more emotionally assertive than usual and might even frighten someone close to you because of your heightened sense of urgency. Paying attention to how others react and having the courtesy to give them the space they need today can bring the results you seek.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

As a Libra, you’re often more interested in maintaining harmony in a relationship than in always getting your way. The moody Moon joins your key planet Venus in your 7th House of Partnerships today, reemphasizing what others want. Although you are normally comfortable with taking care of someone else’s needs, you’ve had enough of being taking for granted. Stand up for yourself now by putting your foot down to set limits. However, don’t be surprised if it takes longer than you prefer to be taken seriously.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are able to tell someone what you want today in no uncertain terms. You’re also able to do it in a manner of clarity that doesn’t blame anyone else for your dissatisfaction. In fact you seem somewhat detached from your needs even as you express them. However, you could be holding onto unexpressed anger, possibly on an unconscious level. Don’t bury your feelings; if something is bothering you, get it off your chest or it could return later in the form of a projection.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may not be willing to modify your plans today in order to be included by your family or friends. You would rather separate yourself from others and keep your sense of integrity, even if it means doing something on your own. Thankfully, you won’t likely feel left out because you could be too busy riding your own wave of creative expression. Nevertheless, you’ll probably feel happy to be back in the fold tomorrow.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are quite aware of how you must suppress certain desires today in order to accomplish very specific goals. You want to have as much fun as the next person, but you’re also able to put personal pleasure into a wider perspective. Still, you can’t help but contemplate the emotional cost of success now. Everything has its price; just don’t sell yourself short.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have set goals that you now realize you cannot quite reach. Or, perhaps, an obstacle prevents you from doing as much as you wanted to do on a project. But instead of feeling defeat or discouragement, you might have a sense of relief as you reconstruct your day now that you have more time to enjoy yourself. Fortunately, today’s dark storm cloud has a silver lining.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be tempted to make an impulse purchase today, but this could be a setup for buyer’s remorse. Perhaps the item in question costs more than you originally thought. Or, maybe, you worry that it’s not a good investment because it’s something you don’t really need. Take your time and logically analyze the pros and cons of spending your money. If after rational consideration the expenditure still makes sense, then go ahead because it’s probably a smart acquisition.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, April 29

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The psychic Pisces Moon reminds us that fantasy can seem real — and sometimes it actually is. It’s especially difficult to separate fact from fiction today as expansive Jupiter forms a complicated septile to dreamy Neptune. However, we are shocked awake by the Moon’s shift into spontaneous Aries at 1:33 pm EDT, followed by a Moon-Uranus conjunction at 6:58 pm. We may be temporarily thrown off balance as we respond to the suddenness of change.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Today is one of those days when you might not even realize that you’ve slipped into the Twilight Zone. If you pay close attention to everything happening now, you might notice that things are bent slightly out of shape. Slipping into this parallel world isn’t the problem, but mixing it up with the real one can prove troublesome. Rely on your friends to help you distinguish your illusions from reality.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are quick-witted enough to outsmart yourself today. There is so much activity going on within your unconscious mind that you might forget what just occurred only a few minutes ago. Naturally, this can create a very embarrassing situation unless you consciously decide to stay on top of it all. Don’t be afraid to trust your snap judgment. Thankfully, your intuition won’t lead you astray now.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may share a feeling today that provokes a strong and clear response. But rather than receiving a round of all-too-familiar criticism, you might actually get an unexpected boost of support from someone who isn’t usually your closest ally. Be careful, for you might be reading the situation incorrectly. And even if you’re positive about the accuracy of your perceptions, keep in mind that everyone’s feelings are prone to change now.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be daydreaming of taking a quick trip to a faraway destination, however, there’s this little problem of transportation. You might prefer the idea of near instantaneous travel because you want to get to your exotic destination immediately and still be home in time for a comfortable dinner. Unfortunately, you are just setting yourself up for disappointment unless you can be satisfied by traveling in the fantasy realms instead of actually going anywhere for real.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a practical agenda today, yet you might choose to set it aside if there is an opportunity to do something more exciting than taking care of business. Don’t be too concerned about other people’s expectations; you need to follow your own heart. Rather than wasting energy trying to justify your actions, attend to your responsibilities first, so whatever you do next is beyond criticism.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be rethinking upcoming travel plans that you thought were already set. Or, perhaps, you’re juggling your responsibilities so you can fit everything into your schedule. But it’s tricky now because you cannot do this work alone. You’ll improve your chances for success if your co-worker or partner supports you, so include him or her in your scheming. Remember that nothing is etched in stone yet. Today’s decisions could change as soon as tomorrow.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have many small tasks to finish and it’s wise to complete as much as possible prior to the Moon leaving your 6th House of Routine. It becomes more complicated to return to chores left undone once your attention moves on to something else. Also, it’s quite likely that someone will distract you later in the day and your schedule will be unexpectedly hijacked; don’t put off anything important unless it’s beyond your control.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may welcome an exciting diversion to your daily routine today, but your responsibilities could suffer in the process. Surprisingly, you’ll probably say yes to an invitation that comes your way, even if you don’t think that you can take the time to play. Naturally, meeting your obligations remains a high priority, but your overall quality of work won’t be as good if you don’t also give yourself the chance to relax.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might experience unexpected tension because of the responsibilities that now fall on your shoulders. However, you are still ready to go out and have some fun, no matter what the consequences are. Your productivity will likely slack off today, but you should be able to make up for it tomorrow. At least, show some creativity by mixing up boring chores with new activities that are more exciting.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You probably won’t be able to stick to your plans today, and accepting this fact upfront could alleviate a lot of unnecessary stress. Your moods are swinging all over the map, making you less likely to follow through on your original agenda. Rather than suppressing your feelings, remain open to them. Maintaining objectivity now could be exhausting and unproductive. You will feel much better once you give yourself permission to temporarily relinquish control.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may receive an unexpected message today from someone who is very close to you. Paradoxically, what you are told could be contrary to what you thought you were going to hear. This new information could complicate your day, but you’ll only make matters worse if you try to block it out. You can’t avoid the negative consequences by pretending there isn’t a problem. Be smart and face any issue that surfaces now before it spins out of control.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel unsettled today because you know something is about to change. Your feelings are quite volatile now and you don’t know where they are leading you. Unfortunately, your attempts to suppress your needs could provoke you to unconsciously act out. Trying to control the situation by limiting your interactions with others will only make you feel lonely. Remember that you are a Fish and should know that it’s easier to swim with the currents instead of resisting the tide.

Daily Horoscopes for April 25

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The Moon’s visit to intellectual Aquarius fuels the fires of the five-planet cluster in independent Aries. The global thinking of Aquarius combines nicely with the personal drive of Aries. The Moon’s harmonious trine to stabilizing Saturn grounds our ideas in practical action. Meanwhile, we receive support from the Sun, which has already escaped the Aries pack and is now in determined Taurus to make sure we follow through on what we have begun.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although it’s back to work for many today, it might still seem like a play day to you. Even if you have obligations to fulfill, you can probably figure out how to involve your friends. You may be like Tom Sawyer, making your chores look like so much fun that others will want to join in and help. Everyone may end up having a good time, regardless of what you are doing. Ultimately, it’s the feeling of camaraderie that makes this day a memorable one.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to demonstrate your intelligence today so others will see you as a leader. Staying a step ahead of everyone else enables you to command enough authority to be in charge. However, you might not want all the responsibility that comes with this territory, just because you are seen as the top dog. It’s challenging because you’re not sure about the choices you have to make. Worrying won’t make anything better, so just decide the best you can and move on.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Thinking about the future is easy today, but it becomes more complicated if you have to include others in your decisions. At first, you may enjoy the idea of strategizing how to get your friends involved, but executing your plan may be more challenging than it appears. You might grow irritated because your associates are not acting like team players. If the frustration gets to be too much, don’t be afraid to just proceed on your own.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have been managing a balancing act between your personal needs and your public responsibilities for a while, and now a conflict with a close friend or partner complicates things even more. You don’t care about the superficial aspects of what’s happening; you need to share on a deeper level. However, it’s not easy to open up if you are afraid of being hurt. Revealing your emotions without being overly attached to the outcome can alleviate the pressure, enabling you to overcome your fear.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are quite hopeful about a new relationship today, but you still may experience wide mood swings with the Moon activating your 7th House of Partners. Try not to be so attached to your fear of abandonment; don’t over-personalize a situation if someone inadvertently excludes you. You are best off trusting your friends and giving them the same freedom that you want given to you.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you may still be feeling anxious today, setting priorities and concentrating on the most practical chores should ease the tension. Unfortunately, focusing isn’t a simple task because you can see too many possibilities ahead, which might make you more resistant to the upcoming changes. Bring your thoughts back to the here and now, for the present moment is the only place where you can create an impact. Don’t worry about the inevitable; your future will arrive exactly on schedule.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can be the life of the party today or the one who’s busy telling jokes at the office water cooler. But your spontaneity adds to your charm, belying your underlying seriousness. Ironically, several planets in your 7th House of Relationships could shift the focus off of you now and bring someone into your life that helps you see yourself more clearly. Your interactions with others give you a mirror with which you can see into your own soul.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might mistrust your feelings today as the emotionally detached Aquarius Moon visits your 4th House of Security. It makes you uncomfortable when your rational thoughts are telling your heart what to do, and you’re particularly vulnerable if you lose touch with your feelings. Finding balance is tricky now because ignoring your passions will land you in trouble. Nevertheless, think first before doing something you may regret.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your friends and associates might find it difficult to accept that you feel so good now. They may believe that something is lurking in the twilight behind your bright smile. Luckily, they are wrong. Although deep issues can rise to the surface over the next few days, you are quite capable of handling them. Don’t worry about what others think; just be true to yourself.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have entered a period of financial uncertainty and nothing you do seems to make sense of your fiscal picture. Even a decision about a straightforward purchase could set you on a trajectory that culminates in the sobering realization that you do not have an endless money supply. Although you might understand the steps to manifesting abundance, it may take you longer than you wish to have enough cash to buy what you want.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s difficult to see the effect you have on others today; however, it’s still useful to contemplate the results of your actions before you undertake something that wastes your time and energy. No matter how good your intentions are now, you can still come on too strong. It’s not helpful to annoy someone who normally supports you. However, you could raise suspicions if you are overly cautious. Your smartest strategy is to acknowledge your own power, but wield it only if necessary.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are easily enamored with your own fantasies today as the Moon moves through your 12th House of Imagination. You might even forget when to return to reality. Although drifting off into your dreams is often a rejuvenating activity, you won’t be able to turn your back on your responsibilities now. Planning a temporary escape can work as long as you cover your bases in the real world.
