Today’s daily horoscope for May 17, 2024

Must read

Cosmic Grudge Match

Mercury and Pluto square off grudge-like, and little words like “I’m sorry” are so significant, they can change everything about a relationship. Words have the weight they are given and are valued by the effects they cause or inspire. Some people say “I’m sorry” so easily and often, it means nothing. Some won’t say it at all. This is worth considering as you resolve the day’s issues.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your resources and knowledge overflow in certain areas, and you’ll have the excellent luck to be in the company of those who most appreciate what you know. Give some away for free, and hold some back for revenue.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Whims can add wonder to your world or they can waste your time. Much depends on the urgency of your first priority. Being around other focused people will inspire you to make quick work of the more tedious tasks.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Keeping yourself open to the opportunities is key today. It will benefit you to mix things up, lest you grow too fond in one direction. Test theories, talk through the script, do a trial run — whatever it takes to keep your mind from fixating.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). True to your feline nature, you will be highly discerning as you choose who gets the pleasure of your attention. Furthermore you bestow your affection strictly at your own whimsical discretion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It feels as though the problem isn’t your fault or responsibility, which may be true, but believing it only makes your work as a problem-solver harder. Assume there’s something here that’s yours to fix.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll dive in and do the work without thinking about what it will be like. Whether it’s fun or interesting is really beside the point. Those determinations have to do with your mood, and your mood is better when the work is done.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are leaving yourself open in some way. It’s as though you’re wearing a loose leash that could be snatched up by someone intent on keeping you close. Unless you have garden sheers, it’s best to tuck and hide this tether.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Since your unique style and preferences are more than enough, trends have to be very special for you to get on board. Today it’s fun to try what’s new, as long as it’s free. Wait and see what sticks, both in the culture and in your interest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Feedback is your friend, so express yourself and watch the reactions. Whatever comes back will help you improve. This is true even for things that are hard to hear or are just dead-wrong. Any data you can make sense of will sharpen your work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The most effective traps are hidden, though if you’re lucky you’ll catch of glint of them in the sun, like light on the gossamer geometry of a spider’s web, and you’ll step to the side or duck to miss the sticky web.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Home can be where you stay, or where you hate to leave. It’s usually a place, but it’s also a feeling you find out in the world. Today you’ll get the sense you are home somewhere distant from your mailbox.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re comfortable being uncomfortable and for this reason, you’ll get more opportunities, increase your odds at the prize and win a few, too. The more you try, the more impervious you become to fear.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 17). You’re often ambitious, as the dreamy outcome of your work gets addictive. Why keep expectations in the realm of reality when certain fantasies seem intent on creating themselves? More highlights: You’ll explore a strange world that changes how you think. You’ll make a move and shed excess baggage. You’ll give resources to those who need them and heal yourself in the process. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 12, 7, 15 and 44.
