Horoscope: May 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you let a conversation go on for too long, it will seem like you don't have much else to do. There are many benefits to maintaining your status as a busy person, so seem busy whether or not you are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). For a caveman, being the focus of attention was dangerous. Therefore, it's only natural that performing to a crowd is a primal fear - one you will bravely overcome tonight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are busy, and you put a high dollar amount on your time. That's why you expect so much from both your work and your leisure hours. Those expectations will help put you in a prime location tonight.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will extend a secret generosity and will not only be uncredited, but you also won't be around to see the reaction others have to your gift. Just know it's favorable. To do the right thing is moral. To do it anonymously is noble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People must earn your trust over time. Anyone who rushes the process will only be raising a red flag that will cause trust to take even longer to build than it otherwise would have.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll lead with your free spirit and colorful imagination. Try not to meddle in your friends' business in the process. Design an adventure that doesn't trespass on private property.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're not sure you can afford what you want. If you take the leap, you won't be sorry. The money will show up. Tonight, leave with whom you walked in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When considering how you'd like to spend your time and with whom, think about how different people highlight different aspects of your personality. The people who bring out your sense of play will win out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People will forget what you tell them, but they won't forget what you help them understand through action. When possible, create a multisensory connection.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everyone is weak in some way, but not everyone has the courage and tenacity to overcome it. Greatness starts with winning a victory over your own weakness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You've always gravitated toward the jobs that make a difference, and there's one that needs you desperately today. You'll fight the good fight, and you won't lay down your arms until the battle is won.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Friends and loved ones will try to switch things up, but stick to your original plan, and send a message that you like to live life deliberately and on your own terms.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 9). You'll sweat to achieve the purpose you've longed for. Whether or not it pays, it's still work, and it will lead to great benefits in May and June. You'll share the wealth and be invited to wonderful places in July. You'll heed warnings and skip over dangers in September. August and November bring blessings to family. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 24, 27, 11 and 34.
