Happy Birthday for Thursday, May 5, 2022:

You are a caring, compassionate person. You are outgoing, friendly and opinionated. However, you are also a good listener. Welcome opportunities that will come to you this year to be reflective and allow you to ponder your spiritual values. This is a year of learning and also of teaching.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★
Be careful today, because you will be tempted to do impulse shopping and spontaneously spend money. “I want that!” This might be a good thing, or it might not be. Save your receipts and the box. Something unexpected could impact your income. Again, it might be positive — or not. Today is a crapshoot. Tonight: Chatty conversations!

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★
Today the Sun in your sign is lined up with wild, wacky Uranus, which makes you feel impulsive and given to rash actions. Therefore, think twice before you act or speak. If you don’t, you might say or do something that you later regret. On the upside, you’re ready for anything! Tonight: Moneymaking ideas.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
You will feel restless today. You have the feeling that you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. In fact, something unexpected might occur that takes place behind the scenes — something you least thought could happen. Stay grounded so you’re ready for anything. Tonight: You have something to say.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
A friend might do something that surprises you today. Or possibly your interaction with a group will amaze you or go off in a new direction. Someone might take a stand that you disagree with. The thing is, anything can happen today when dealing with friends and groups, so be ready and expect a few surprises. Tonight: Research.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Today you feel strongly independent and won’t take kindly to being bossed around or told what to do. This could make your relations with bosses, parents or supervisors a bit touchy. Meanwhile, someone in authority might do something that surprises you. (“Busted!”) Tonight: Socialize.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Sudden travel opportunities might fall in your lap today. Or conversely, planned travel might be changed or canceled. This same unpredictable quality could affect education, something to do with medicine and the law, or issues related to publishing and the media. “It’s a crapshoot!” Tonight: Talk to the boss.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★
Something unexpected might impact the assets that you share with others, or something to do with shared property, inheritances, taxes or debt. Double-check everything and make no assumptions. Anything can happen. It could be a boon or a windfall — or the opposite. Tonight: Study and learn.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
In all likelihood, a friend, partner or spouse will do something that surprises you today. They might throw you a curveball. Perhaps they will suggest more freedom in the relationship. Or they might introduce you to someone who is different or unusual in some way. Tonight: Check your finances.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★
Be careful, because work-related accidents can take place today. However, you also might see ways to introduce reforms to where you work. Meanwhile, your work routine could be interrupted by staff shortages, power outages, technical problems, machinery breakdowns or something completely unexpected. Tonight: An important conversation.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★
Parents, please take note: This is an accident-prone day for your kids. Be vigilant and aware. Meanwhile, social activities will suddenly change. You might receive a surprise invitation, or social plans might be canceled. Something unusual could impact a romantic relationship. Tonight: Work.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected might knock on the door. Get dressed so you are ready for anything. And charge your phone. Tonight: Playful ideas.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Be mindful of everything you say and do today, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Definitely. Be careful driving, jogging, cycling or walking. On the upside, you might suddenly have a genius-like idea. Nevertheless, your daily routine will change. Expect the unexpected. Tonight: Home repairs.
