Horoscope today: May 9, 2019

But what about art, music and drama, Aquarius? There are new pathways opening up for those who enjoy living halfway between reality and theatre on most days. Taurus, everything is transient—the pain and the heartbreak too. While looking for a silver lining may or may not be a viable option at this point in time, catharsis is. Word for the wise: find a safe way to ‘release’. Pisces, if you’ve been thinking about acing your exam, getting back to your books, moving abroad to do a course or signing up for one closer home, consider this your green flag from the Universe.

Aries horoscope today

Things you had almost given up on magically start to work out. It’s all coming together for you, Aries! Your power words: surrender and trust. Don’t let skepticism get better of you this time—and something tells me you won’t. You’re learning that happiness is your prerogative and that you have the power to make your own potion of ecstacy—every single day.

Cosmic tip: You’re learning that happiness is a choice.

Taurus horoscope today

Everything is transient, Taurus—the pain and the heartbreak too. While looking for a silver lining may or may not be a viable option at this point of time, catharsis is. Word for the wise: find a safe way to ‘release’. Putting pen to paper and allowing the words to flow could be one of them. Besides, everybody knows that the best kind of art is born from a space of melancholy.

Cosmic tip: Everything is transient—the pain and the heartbreak too.

Gemini horoscope today

Oh, but what’s the rush? Where is everybody going to anyway? In a world that continuously glorifies the busy, you are learning the importance of being in the moment; of trusting the divine plan that’s unfolding. While some things are manifesting at jet speed, others are only saplings. Continue to give them the love and nurture they need with the inner knowing that everything is manifesting at the perfect time.

Cosmic tip: You’re learning to slow down despite your need to do everything at the same time.

Cancer horoscope today

Yes, but what are *you* doing to manifest the desired results? Stop using your circumstances as an excuse and reclaim your power. Design a foolproof plan of action and get down and dirty with your creations. As the old and the wise say: the magic lies in the work, Cancer. Remember, things may or may not manifest immediately. Don’t let that stop you from moving forward.

Cosmic tip: The magic lies in the work, Cancer.

Leo horoscope today

There’s a reason it didn’t work out, Leo. Trust the divine plan. Despite what you believe, you are being aligned with ‘the one’. Coupled lions, the spark isn’t missing, it’s just taking a sabbatical. Think of ways you can bring more intimacy into your relationship. Make time to understand your partner’s love language. What if the way to their hearts is through kind words and thoughtful gestures?

Cosmic tip: Make time to understand your partner’s love language.

Virgo horoscope today

When was the last time you painted the town red with your brother or got together for a mindful activity at home? Dedicate the day to your siblings, Virgo. If they’re living halfway across the world, pick up the phone. Who else will you inundate with unsolicited advice when you need it the most? ‘Course blood ties are important, but don’t forget to make time for your soul siblings too.

Cosmic tip: Dedicate the day to your siblings, Virgo.

Libra horoscope today

Has the opportunity to travel to an unknown destination presented itself? Say ‘yes’ and figure everything out later. Dear Libra, the adventure of a lifetime awaits. Prefer planning things to the T? Leave some room for spontaneity. You never who you may meet or where the conversations you have will lead!

Cosmic tip: Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

Scorpio horoscope today

Colouring outside the lines has always been your forte, dear Scorpio. So why stick to the tried-and-tested when it comes to spirituality? Connecting to the divine isn’t always about sitting with your spine upright and chanting mantras you probably will not understand the essence of in this lifetime? Find a path that awakens with your wildish nature—for instance, a dance movement therapy workshop or a cacao ceremony.

Cosmic tip: Find a spiritual path that awakens your wildish nature.

Sagittarius horoscope today

Check in with yourself. Do the given opportunities evoke a feeling of joy and playfulness or do they make you dread the very idea of getting out of bed? Choosing the latter is a sign that you are in fact in alignment with your higher self. For those, feeling out of ‘touch’, see how you can make your way back to yourself. Sometimes, the answer is as simple as allowing your heart to lead the way.

Cosmic tip: When a given opportunity evokes a feeling of joy and playfulness, you know you are living in alignment.

Capricorn horoscope today

Dedicate the day to seducing the muse, Capricorn. Dedicate the day to art, music, and theatre. The ideas you are channelling at this moment are divinely inspired. A good way to tap into your wildish nature is by being around people and visiting places that inspire you to look at things in a different manner. Is there somebody you feel that creative chemistry with? Share your vision board with them and see what transpires.

Cosmic tip: Dedicate the day to art, music, and theatre.

Aquarius horoscope today

But, what about art, music and drama? There are new pathways opening up for those who enjoy living halfway between reality and theatre on most days. Remember, art does not always have to start a revolution or change the world. Free your work from unrealistic expectations and give yourself the permission to draw simply because. If you’ve been seeking work opportunities that satisfy you on a soul level, now is the time to ask the Universe what you want.

Cosmic tip: There are new pathways opening up for those who enjoy living halfway between reality and theatre on most days.

Pisces horoscope today

If you’ve been thinking about acing your exam, getting back to your books, moving abroad to do a course or signing up for one closer home, consider this your green flag from the Universe. Already working in the field of your dreams? Don’t let that stop you from going deeper into the given subject. For some, the opportunity to jet, set, go for work may be on the cards. If it helps expand your empire, the answer is always ‘yes’.

Cosmic tip: If you’ve been thinking about moving abroad to do a course or signing up for one closer home, consider this your green flag from the Universe.
