The Globe and Mail’s May 5th horoscope says Mercury in your sign is at odds with Pluto today, with Pluto squaring up to Mercury before its retrograde phase begins tomorrow. The forecast warns that even when Mercury is well placed in your chart, some people will still not want to listen.
It also says a favor done for a friend or family member earlier in the year will be repaid in full today, while something you do now will probably have to be done again later in the month. A problem that seemed serious is expected to be resolved to your liking, with a supposed crisis revealed to have been of no real significance.
The column turns cautious on money and timing. It warns against anyone offering an idea that is guaranteed to make money, and it advises against rushing into anything today because the results are unlikely to satisfy you. The horoscope is part of a daily column that assigns different forecasts to multiple zodiac signs and mixes advice on work, money, communication and relationships.
That makes the message for May 5th less about quick wins than restraint. The immediate payoff may be real, but the larger lesson is that today’s choices will carry a second cost later in the month, which is reason enough to move carefully and ignore the easy promise.
