Today’s horoscope for May 5 as Taurus deals with disruption

Today’s horoscope for May 5 sees Libra embrace their potential, as Leo attends to a new project

It’s Monday, and one star sign gets on with some tasks, while another feels restricted in their relationship.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Friends and colleagues will be delighted to witness your charming and funny side. Don’t be surprised to find yourself at the centre of attention. Be certain communications are honest and concise. Even so, adding a little humour to your stories will make them more memorable and encourages others to pay attention.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Your usual routine could be disrupted by things like computer malfunctions, power failures or meetings being called off. On the bright side, this could give you a chance to consider new work ideas or to look for a different job if this is something you’ve been thinking about doing recently.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

It may be necessary for you to take the initiative to push a project further along. While it may make sense to you to get on with this on your own, other people are interested and want to be involved. Be sure to keep them updated as the project progresses.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

You could come up with some great ways to make money. Expect some surprises related to your finances and cash flow. You or someone close might receive a surprise bonus or face a small loss. A new job opportunity will pay well and an unexpected purchase will delight you.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

A new project will need your attention even if this is likely to benefit other people more than yourself. Complete this task as quickly as possible. Get assignments and duties out of the way early in the day to give yourself a chance to choose what you want to do later.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Mistakes can be avoided if you think before you speak and act. Be extra cautious in the workplace and avoid reacting impulsively towards a colleague’s suggestions. Later, you will experience a sudden moment of clarity as you come up with a fantastic idea.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

Aim higher than you think you can reach. You have the potential to achieve far more than you might believe so set ambitious goals and every day strive to reach a target that currently feels like a distant dream. Trust you can make this dream come true.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Stay calm when someone or something annoys you. The situation is not as bad as it first looks. If a workmate has been assigned a plum assignment and you are left with routine responsibilities, keep telling yourself something better will come along for you. Complete your own tasks efficiently to prove what you can do.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

A relationship that was once exciting suddenly feels restricting. This could lead you to seek some fun and novelty elsewhere. The grass on the other side will always appear greener because it often looks as if there’s something better out there but don’t jeopardise a solid relationship for a fleeting thrill.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

You may need to take a little time to reflect on what really matters to you. Avoid allowing minor issues to escalate and stop worrying about keeping up with other people whose methods are very different to your own. Everyone experiences moments of uncertainty. Remember all your past achievements.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Pay attention to the details. It will be seemingly trivial tasks and responsibilities that actually hold the most importance. This can be anything from re-reading the small-print of a contract to sterilising kitchen surfaces. Whatever needs doing, get on with it.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Choose activities that can provide you with a little exercise. If your work keeps you tied to your desk, do a few jumping jacks in your workspace to elevate your heart rate or take the stairs rather than the lift. Step outside for a brief run or take a walk after lunch.
