Horoscope for Today: Friday, May 2, 2025

There’s lots of pressure to act on our dreams, due to a square between the wistful Cancer Moon and restless Mercury at 9:38 am. It’s important to hold off on big decisions when we feel agitated. Instead of signing a contract, sending a response, or starting a project, spend a few quiet moments in meditation. By early afternoon, receptive Venus will make a conjunction to idealistic Neptune. At that point, it will be easy to take inspired action. 

Aries

You have no problem attracting romantic attention. Your only trouble is picking the best partner out of this throng of admirers. If you’re already in a relationship, you’ll find your partner to be more smothering than supportive. Instead of stewing over their oppressive behavior, calmly ask for extra space. Your other half will be happy to accommodate you. Later this evening, you’ll generate some heavy steam together.

Taurus

Powerful signs and symbols let you know that you’re on the path to success. Don’t second guess yourself when you see a special number or hear a meaningful song. That’s the Universe urging you to keep moving toward a dream. A skeptical friend could make fun of your ambitions. Never fear. You’ll have the last laugh as you cross the finish line. Nothing can stand in the way between you and victory.

Gemini

Spending more time with a group of spiritually minded friends will be very rewarding. It’s such a relief to be surrounded by people who share your hopes and dreams. Don’t be surprised when you become much more productive on the creative front. Your increased output is the result of all the encouragement you get from your nearest and dearest. If you’ve always wanted to venture into a new medium, like painting or songwriting, go for it!

Cancer

An incredible coincidence will put you on the path to career success. Don’t be surprised when you run into an old colleague or supervisor. This person will mention a job in their organization that seems tailor made to your strengths. Go ahead and apply for this position. Instead of being forced to undergo a grueling interview process, you’ll be awarded the role with a minimum of fanfare. Have fun with your dream job. 

Leo

Embrace a philosophy that deepens your appreciation for life. You’re tired of feeling compelled to do things out of a fear of punishment. By treating the Universe as an endlessly abundant and generous place, you’ll start to receive the abundance you deserve. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to work hard to make a lot of money. You just have to be more appreciative of the blessings you enjoy, each and every day. 

Virgo

Financial or emotional support will arrive from an unexpected source. While a close friend that you trust may decline a request for help, a dynamic entrepreneur will. That’s because this business maven has an agenda. They’ve observed your gift with words and attention to detail. After bailing you out of trouble, they’ll ask you to work for them. This will be the beginning of a beautiful professional collaboration.  

Libra

The chemistry between you and a bold admirer is undeniable. Whether you want to pursue a serious relationship with this person is a different question. While you find them attractive, you’re a bit unsettled by their star power. When it comes to relationship, you want to be the center of attention. Instead of walking away from this union, give it a chance. You can learn to share the spotlight with the right partner. 

Scorpio

Feel free to throw a demanding schedule out of the window and enjoy a day of self-pampering. Going to a spa or salon will put life back in proper perspective. While it’s admirable you have big dreams, you can’t afford to burn out before achieving them. If that mean taking breaks when you’re tired, so be it. Are you looking for a job? Apply for two at the most, then devote the rest of your time to your favorite form of exercise. 

Sagittarius

Your love life assumes a dreamy quality that shocks you a little. Normally, you’re pretty down to earth when it comes to dating. That will change when you’re inspired to make a sentimental gesture toward someone special. A huge bouquet of flowers, a handwritten poem, or a tear-jerking song will make the object of your affection glow with happiness. If you’re single, let a close friend set you up on a blind date. 

Capricorn

You’re ready to drop some limiting beliefs that were imposed on you during childhood. Adopting a more liberating philosophy will make a business or romantic partner nervous. They’ve come to depend on you to do all the heavy lifting in a relationship. Now that you’ve become more open about asking for help and receiving affection, your union will be a lot more balanced. Give yourself credit for standing up for yourself. 

Aquarius

Don’t fall victim to analysis paralysis. Instead, just obey your intuition. This will be especially helpful when dealing with a needy neighbor, sibling, or cousin. You can do something kind for this individual while setting a boundary. For instance, tell them you are happy to drop of groceries for them, provided you get paid for the purchases. It’s also important to tell this person how and when they can contact you. 

Pisces

Don’t feel guilty about spending money on things that you love. Your purchase may put a dent in your budget, but so long as you make good use of this possession, there won’t be a problem. Be wary about trying to buy another person’s affections, though. An expensive gift won’t earn their respect. On the contrary; this present could make the recipient feel like they have you wrapped around their little finger.
