Your daily horoscopes for Friday May 24, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Pressure to conform can send you into hiding today as snobbish Saturn squares off with the moon in your secretive eighth house. Nothing wrong with guarding your privacy, Taurus. But you could wind up cloaking the most magical parts of yourself because you’re afraid of being judged. If a certain group can’t accept your “weirdness,” they’ll never be legitimate friends. Don’t let the desire for popularity outweigh the power of a deep and abiding connection. Status and style won’t solve things when the going gets tough. Should the opportunity present itself, gently insert your unique perspective into the dialogue. You might raise eyebrows, but you’ll also open minds.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
In partnerships, it’s fine to go with the flow for a while, Gemini. But at some point, you need a clear sense of direction before you can fully invest. That holds true from the bedroom to the boardroom to the rehearsal studio. Today, discuss the future of a dynamic duo as structured Saturn elbows a dialogue-driven moon in your relationship house. Share your long-term objectives and find out what your prospective collaborator or mate considers ideal. A couple easy compromises might be all it takes to get on the same page. But you may also realize a win-win isn’t possible in some scenarios. If so, don’t sacrifice your bottom line—it will only make you both unhappy.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
A daunting long-term plan becomes amazingly realistic today if you’re willing to break it down into phases and steps. While you might be more of a visionary than a project manager, don’t let that prevent you from plotting out your big dream. Tap the hive mind: A Taurus friend might be a whiz at spreadsheets and budgeting while your Aquarius pal can walk you through the logical phases of implementation and suggest time-saving apps that few have ever heard of before.Together you can pull this off!
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
So much for honesty being the best policy. As stoic Saturn in your eighth house of secrets throws shade at the mouthy moon in Sagittarius, you could blow a deal by revealing too much too soon. It’s not that you should lie or be evasive, Leo. But omit any details that have yet to be trademarked, verified, copyrighted or confirmed. Ultimately, spreading the wrong information could damage your credibility. If you need to wriggle out of an interrogation, just say, “Let me get back to you on that.”

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Even the best relationships don’t “just happen,” particularly on days when you’re feeling emo or off-center. Today, stabilizing Saturn in your partnership house wags a finger at the moon in your emotional fourth house. Were you about to play the blame game, Virgo? Sniping at a roommate or relative might get them to coddle you today, but ultimately these outbursts damage your connection. A better bet? Journal or talk to a wise friend to determine your unexpressed need—maybe it’s more space or quality time. Then set up a time to discuss it when you’re both relaxed and receptive.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Don’t let anyone paint you into a corner today, Libra. With the moon on tour through your curious third house, life is one huge variety show. But today, rigid Saturn comes for la luna, which could leave you feeling pressured to make a decision or, worse, take sides in someone else’s personal dispute. If you MUST pick a lane, make sure it’s the highest road possible. Be compassionate to friends who are struggling, but try your hardest not to cast any judgments—they could come back to haunt you when everyone hugs it out.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Retail therapy alert! Think twice before ducking into that boutique with the eye-catching display. With cautious Saturn squaring the moon in your money zone, it’s smarter to shop around instead of blowing your discretionary budget on the first shiny object you see. Delayed gratification builds character. Yes, Scorpio, you are stronger than the call of that capsule collection and capable of resisting the urge to splurge. Apply this iron will to relationships with people who haven’t earned your trust yet. Flattery is nice, but it shouldn’t get them everywhere.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Family pressure bears down on you today as weighty Saturn squares the Sagittarius moon, cramping your sovereign style. Should you feel guilty for “doing you”? Never! Maybe you could offer a little more time and attention to a close relative or an important friend, but not at the expense of your own happiness or ambitions. You’ve made plenty of sacrifices in the past, but today, the gold lies in retraining your inner circle—or should we say, empowering them—to be more independent instead of always coming to you for solutions and fixes. Pro tip: Ignore the grumbles and cheer them on.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Loose lips sink ships today, Capricorn. It’s a lesson you’ll learn as your ruler, stern Saturn, in your communication house head-butts the moon in your communication house. Be especially mindful not to get swept up in gossip that masquerades as “concern.” If people aren’t in the room to represent themselves, don’t start forming hypotheses about what’s going on. And if others start to go there, change the subject (or leave). If you feed the rumor mill, your words and texts could come back to implicate you. Stay out of it!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Separate checks, please! Money could get funny among friends today, so keep funds autonomous in the name of keeping the peace. If you’re playing treasurer for an organization or a group event, spell everything out to the letter. Send an email with the exact amount required and a firm due date. (Pro tip: Don’t give people too long to settle up.) Instead of charging the fee to your credit card, collect what’s due and THEN make the purchase. The last thing you need is an unpaid IOU straining relations with your squad. If people can’t pony up, devise a more affordable Plan B.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday May 24
Too much ambition…or not enough? Today, cautious Saturn in Pisces butts heads with the moon in your career-driven tenth house. Maybe you’re being a little TOO modest, downplaying your strengths so you can “underpromise and overdeliver.” Although you have the skills to slay, your attitude also needs to inspire confidence. Don’t be so accommodating! Trust your vision and assert it more firmly. People will read that as leadership, especially if you know that you can back it up with results. But if you can’t, don’t fake it till you make it. Instead, sign up for a class or find a mentor who can help you close the gap.
