Horoscopes for Friday May 9, 2008

Aries (March 21-April 19)

When you are calling the shots, keep in mind that everyone wants to pitch in. Doing too much yourself deprives them of the joy of contributing. Patience will be required with children, but they will never learn if you don't give them a chance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Keeping close tabs on a current project doesn't hurry things along; in fact, it may have the opposite effect. Employees and colleagues do much better when you aren't looking over their shoulders. Until you have thought things through, don't agree to pooling joint resources.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Hope springs eternal, but you are kidding yourself about current connection that is doomed to disintegrate. While that sounds gloomy, what is waiting for you after you climb out of the rubble is something more wonderful than your wildest imagination can conjure.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Meeting a loved one halfway is the sensible approach to take now. He or she may be overdoing the fussing and hovering today. If you can say something about how uncomfortable this attention is making you, you will save a lot of time and confusion.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are chomping at the bit to do something outrageous, like skydiving, rock-climbing, or paddling down the Amazon. There are, however, challenges and adventures on the home front that would better serve your growth process and be less life-threatening.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Romance is temporarily out the window while you have a rip-roaring fight about something genuinely stupid. It does to show that you can create problems where none exist. There is a little shadow lurking behind all this drama that needs to be seen in the light of day.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Give the morning hours to financial management that is long overdue. Balancing a neglected checkbook or a similar task demands a rewards once you have gotten everything squared away. An old friend wants to talk to you about an important personal matter.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A local trip makes you feel that you have gone to a foreign country, so exotic and unfamiliar are the surroundings. Attend to the needs of a child or a sibling who desperately needs your support and guidance now, even if he or she is putting on a brave front.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

When a dream comes true, you will have to do some catching up on the aspects that are more difficult to handle in everyday life than they were in your fantasies. A charismatic individual captures your imagination, and you find yourself in an obsessive state before you know it. Don't confuse sex with love.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A past lack of clarity about boundaries is not producing a reaction in the other extreme. You may need to go that far to eventually find the balance. Loved ones are sympathetic to your plight but may not understand the mechanism at work.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Try taking less extreme measures to get what you want before going all out now. Keeping your spending on an even keel isn't easy; there are so many beautiful and luxurious temptations staring you in the face today. By focusing on the mortgage or rent you might sober up a bit.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Romance eludes you today in spite of carefully orchestrated plans that were designed to lure the unsuspecting fly into your web. Perhaps a more direct approach would be more effective. Spiritual practice has an intensity that is somewhat unsettling now.
