Your lookahead horoscope: May 3, 2026

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The more your critics talk you down the more determined you will be to prove them wrong. You have an unshakable faith that what you are about to do is not only good for you but good for everyone else as well. So do it well!

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The fact that other people seem happy with the current situation does not mean you should be happy with it as well. If you can see problems developing down the line you must speak up. Sound the alarm even if it makes you unpopular.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

You will encounter opposition in one shape or another over the next few days but you won’t give in to it and you certainly won’t change your ways. You may though have to accept that one particular association is no longer worth supporting.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Someone will drag their feet and make excuses for not doing what is expected of them as the new week begins. If they are not prepared to play ball then tell them to go find a game that does not require speed of thought and action.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

If a colleague’s decision is likely to harm your financial situation you must make it clear to them that you reserve the right to take your business elsewhere. The planets warn if you take risks now you could be poorer for it later on.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Expect to be challenged by someone who thinks they are big enough to take you on. Whether or not that is true will become apparent early in the week when Mars and Jupiter square up to each other. Most likely they will come off second best.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You have a tendency to dwell on past mistakes but you need to get past that now and focus on the future alone. Opportunities to move up in the world are about to arrive one after another, so stay alert and above all stop worrying!

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Try to avoid discussions that touch on controversial topics this week, because the planets warn there won’t be much room for compromise. You may be able to see alternative points of view but not everyone is as understanding as you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

If you find that your options for action are limited over the coming week then accept it and just do whatever causes the least friction both at home and at work. You don’t HAVE to be making things happen every minute of the day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Chances are you will see or hear something that annoys you intensely during the early part of the week but hopefully you will be sensible enough to realize there is not much you can do about it. Try to rise above petty fights and feuds.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

As an Earth sign you can be reluctant to change methods and routines that seem to work fine and over the next few days you would be wise to leave things exactly as they are. Just because something is new does not guarantee it will be good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You won’t lack for advice over the next few days but will it be good advice? The planets warn that more than one individual will try to persuade you to try different approaches this week, but they can’t all be right, can they?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

There are events in the world that are both wrong and right at the same time, and one such event will occur over the next few days. You will know it when you see it and you will also know to reserve judgment until much later on.
