My daily horoscope: What will May 1st bring for MY star sign? Oscar Cainer tells all

Happy Beltane! It’s May Day, a time of festivities marking the arrival of summer. Years ago, this involved adorning the horns of cows with flowers and leaving food at trees to appease the faeries. 

But, without any cattle to adorn, I think I’ll take this as a chance to rest, especially as, with Pluto turning retrograde today and the Coronation Eclipse on the horizon, letting go of the need to control best ensures things go smoothly. 

Aries 

Mar 21 – Apr 20 

The Coronation Eclipse draws nigh and there’s a chance to focus your energy on a project that turns out to be irrelevant. So work out what you really need to do. Discussing the pros and cons won’t necessarily help. In fact, the more of that you engage in, the more baffled you’ll be. The problem is there’s an endless array of options. They sound convincing . . . until you start to figure out what’s wrong with them. Think back to your original idea. Why did you dismiss it? It’s time to welcome it back in. It’s May!

Taurus 

Apr 21 – May 21 

‘Don’t stress.’ ‘Take a deep breath.’ Such phrases are meant to be reassuring. They’re supposed to remind us to take the pressure off and cut ourselves some slack. Yet they can feel belittling — as though we’re being told that we’re taking something unnecessarily seriously. Although these words are meant to be helpful, when we’re dealing with an important issue, they’re infuriating. With this in mind, I’m still going to offer that advice to you today. You’ve got more time (and are under less pressure) than you think. Welcome to May! 

Your prediction for this action-packed month is ready. For inspiration, call 0906 751 5602.

Gemini

 May 22 – June 22 

You feel a bit like you’re playing pin the tail on the donkey. It’s a fun game when you’re a kid at a party, but no grown-up appreciates being blindfolded and spun round, then expected to place their pin in the best position, especially when the stakes are high. Recent events have left you reeling and obliged to make a stab in the dark at something important. Luckily, you’ll not be disqualified for taking a sneaky peek from under the blindfold. You can bend the rules and win a prize today. 

Your in-depth, latest forecast for May could be one of the most rewarding calls you ever make. Call 0906 751 5603.

Cancer 

June 23 – July 23

The Great Outdoors is a thing of unquestionable beauty. But the natural world is not always babbling brooks, warm sunlight and a gentle breeze we conjure up in our imagination. Nature can be harsh and fickle — offering comforting, warm rays one moment and rain clouds the next. In this light, human nature seems rather more reliable and compassionate. Just because someone isn’t acting in a fair way right now, by being as kind as you can be, you can create a peaceful, nurturing atmosphere.

 Leo 

July 24 – Aug 23

When teachers are unhappy with their pupils’ behaviour, they often say something like: ‘What makes you think it’s OK to behave in this way, when you know other children aren’t allowed to?’ While doing their best to uphold discipline, they’re questioning our right to feel special. As adults there are clearly some regulations that must be obeyed. Yet you need to recognise the fact that you’re a special individual and mature enough to know what’s acceptable. You’re not obliged to follow someone else’s rules today. 

Powerful celestial events make May a month to remember. Make sure you take full advantage. Call 0906 751 5605.

Virgo 

Aug 24 – Sep 23 

Learning a new card game isn’t easy, but it’s nowhere near as complicated as trying to teach it. Even simple games have complex rules and catches. So we find ourselves resorting to the familiar ‘Let’s start, and you’ll soon see what I mean’. Explanations are no substitute for experience. And a couple of practice hands are usually all anyone needs. Today, you’ll make much better progress if you allow other folk to try something out for themselves. It will give them the confidence to join you in your plans. The month of May is going to be amazing.

Libra 

Sep 24 – Oct 23 

A status quo always exists. At any given moment, things will be a certain way — not always ideal, but just the way they happen to be. Some people want to change the status quo. Their suggestions might not improve things, but they will alter them. That’s how life works. If you want to create change now, there’s nothing to stop you. How can you guarantee it will be for the better? It’s impossible to tell. But what we do know is that you’re adaptable and creative enough to be able to cope. Go for it. 

To hear uplifting news about the possibilities this month brings, call your May prediction: 0906 751 5607.

Scorpio 

Oct 24 – Nov 22 

It’s easy to get into a muddle. We head off in search of one thing and return with something different. We say one thing and do another. We tie ourselves in knots trying to rationalise our contradictory natures without considering whether our hearts are at war with our heads. You find yourself feeling torn in two about a choice you need to make. Indecisiveness creates stress, which is adding to your discomfort. As your ruler, Pluto, turns retrograde, it brings the strength and clarity you need to be decisive. 

There’s so much to tell you about the month ahead and you’re going to love it. For great news, call 0906 751 5608.

Sagittarius 

Nov 23 – Dec 21 

‘Buy one, get one free.’ ‘Two for the price of one.’ There’s always an irresistible special offer to tempt us as we stroll round the shops. Of course, the second one is never really free. Retailers aren’t that reckless. They just know they’ll do better business if they make it look as if they’re giving us more for our money. As the Coronation Eclipse draws nigh, you’re being given a sense of freedom. Don’t question it. Take full advantage of the special offer. The month of May brings the potential to make your dreams come true.

Capricorn 

Dec 22 – Jan 20 

You’re not a big fan of shortcuts and easy answers. You’ve learned from experience their shortcomings, which come to light over time. So you prefer well-thought-through plans that are likely to last. But now you’re struggling to see where the answer to a key question lies. Since neither short-term nor long-term solutions are presenting themselves, you’re feeling stuck. In the run-up to the Coronation Eclipse, even if you don’t find a way to sort everything out, you’ll find a way to make progress. 

If you don’t usually call your forecast, this is the month to do it. Your May prediction has brilliant news. Call 0906 751 5610.

Aquarius 

Jan 21 – Feb 19 

Who wouldn’t want their every need met? We’d all like to be loved, adored and admired. Yet none of us can realistically expect such treatment on an ongoing basis. And if we offer it to others hoping they’ll respond in kind, we’re setting ourselves up to fail. Even people with the resources to pay for such attention realise that it’s being delivered without sincerity. Although all relationships involve give and take, in some part of your world now, too much of it is taking place. Redress the balance. Welcome to an exciting month. 

May’s cosmic events could transform your life. Find out how. Call 0906 751 5611.

Pisces 

Feb 20 – Mar 20 

In A fairytale world, we all get on with everyone. In a fairytale world, no one annoys others. In a fairytale world, all problems are resolvable. Actually, that’s not true. Fairy stories are full of tricky dramas and challenging relationship dynamics. So, if things are tricky in fantasy, how can we expect reality to be easy? Then again, if there’s such a similarity between that world and ours, maybe we don’t have to go there to get a magic wand. The coming Coronation Eclipse highlights your powers. Use them with care. This month is chock-a-block with celestial action. 

May holds great potential for positive change. Call 0906 751 5612.
