Horoscope: May 4

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re sending out the right signals, and you’ll soon meet your perfect match. Keep your people skills tuned.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Contributions that were taken for granted will be noticed. And if you do something extra, your loved ones will be beside themselves.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your affectionate joking will be well received as long as you keep it light. You’ll invigorate a relationship.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your work will be a major source of self-esteem. You don’t mind knocking yourself out because you know it will matter.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be asked to do something you don’t understand. Ask more questions, and don’t act until you “get it.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Wishing won’t make it so. It’s a start, though — an indicator of goals. For extra luck, tell Capricorn or Taurus what you’ll do.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll be negotiating terms of intimacy, deciding whether to hug or shake hands and putting thought into every correspondence.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You stay busy, taking action because you enjoy being in motion. This is more than a whirlwind of activity. You are dancing with life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll do your best not because you’re trying to make someone like you or it’s what you should do, but because you’re a winner.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Practice will make you better. It takes honesty and a lack of ego to see the results you’re getting and determine what needs improving.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Galileo was arrested for saying the Earth orbits around the sun. You have some of your own potentially incendiary ideas and must be careful whom you tell.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Your responsibilities will be many. Handling them all requires organization. Make a list and check it twice.

Today’s birthday (May 4): You have big plans for this year, and yet you are still able to live in the moment — it’s the secret to your perpetual youth. Your visual sense is brilliant, and you put your style stamp on everything in your personal environment, including your clothing, your cooking and your home. You share a special bond with Libra and Aquarius people. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 7, 39, 26 and 4.
