Horoscope: May 7

Aries (March 21-April 19): You have learned what you need to do. Now the question is whether you are at liberty to do so. This is your day to take stock.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): A cranky person may be funny for a while, but the attitude gets old fast. That’s why you’re sure to do things that keep your spirits high.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You listen carefully to loved ones. Your attention is a precious commodity, and hopefully they value it. It’s hard to recognize the value yourself until no one is listening.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your recent experience has you feeling wiser and older, but your state of mind gets more youthful with everything you learn.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You may have felt unmotivated, but that changes now as you understand what you must do. Your focus on an end result will help you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Philosopher Lao Tzu said, “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.” You’ll feel both sides of this today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Seek the truth. Some will try to eliminate the competition through negative press. Stick with those who are positive and uplifting to the people around them.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There is no “easy money.” You’ll do yourself a favor by avoiding all promises that have to do with making a fast buck. Talk to the savvy people you know.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The focus is on a relationship in its early stages. Whether it’s for business or pleasure, you’ll look at a person’s heart before deciding whether to go forward.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): No one knows what to do with pity. Make sure that when you give your help, you give something concrete.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Much of what you like or don’t like is personal, familial or cultural. You will open your heart to those who add color to your world.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Your strong voice and confidence will tell a story about how well you know yourself. They make others certain about you too.

Today’s birthday (May 7): The bonds of friendship and love will be strengthened. You’ll make deals through an educational or familial network. November brings financial luck. Gemini and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 6, 25, 19, 40 and 11.
