Today’s horoscope, May 10, 2024: Overwhelming the moon

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

On a day with two lunar squares and a moon change, the overwhelm is real. Take a few steps back from the scene. If you have to take a dozen breaks, that’s better than going deeper into the frustration. Also, keep in mind, in many cases these are agreements we’re dealing with, not laws. Most is negotiable. Don’t be afraid to change what isn’t working.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll wonder if you can enrich your life with new experiences without neglecting your current inner circle. They’ll feel it when you do things, and some will be worried about the changes, but you’re supposed to change. We all are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Many of your limitations are illusions. You’ll keep looking at them from different angles and you’ll have the breakthrough in awareness that allows a perspective shift in which you see your way around, over and through them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Of course, the company you’re with makes all the difference. Around certain people you seem to relax while also somehow getting sharper and more excited about life, and you naturally focus on vivid and joyful details.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). From time to time everyone moving along life’s path will stub a toe — evidence of forward movement. When it happens, praise yourself for your progress and walk off the pain that can never belong to one who is standing still.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The work you are doing may be serious, but your attitude doesn’t have to be. You can do meticulous work in a bright, relaxed mood. Stay flexible in the moment and you’ll settle into your most effective tone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will take pleasure in observing the intricate dance of human behavior. Delving into people’s motivations and reactions offers not just strategic insights but also a deeper appreciation for the complexities that drive us.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid sharing first-world problems with those who have seen real hardship. Experienced people aren’t always easygoing in their communication, but they are good to consult, keeping all in a proper perspective.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You might wonder how things would have developed had you gotten everything you wanted. But whatever did or did not happen in the past, what’s happening now is what matters. You’ll leverage it in a beautiful way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It feels as though you can’t help a situation, but you can, just by showing up. You won’t have to do much else. Small assurances won’t make up for the vast enormity of unanswerable questions, but they matter more than you’d think!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re in a generous mood, but think twice before you volunteer. Give yourself time before responding. Do calculations on the matter. There’s a lot that would be possible, or even fun to do, but will it serve your bottom line?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Comfort is all well and good and you should definitely enjoy it while it’s yours, but don’t stay there too long. It is in moments of challenge when your true essence shines.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Timing, nepotism and any number of other factors can contribute to a rise in status. The one in charge may be very talented indeed, and so are you. Let nothing deter you from believing in your ability to fulfill your ambitions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 10). It’s a year when you put love in its proper place: above everything else. You’ll protect and revel in love’s bond, and it will delight and fortify you. More highlights: You’ll lead groups and land in intriguing scenes. You’ll have a new place just for you to do your best thinking and creating. You’ll master and be served by amazing technology. Sagittarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 21, 33, 28 and 10.
