Ready or not, today could unleash a wave of radical healing, as deep-diving Pluto pair bonds with accelerator Mars.

Or maybe you get a sudden jolt of clarity about a long-standing resentment you’ve been holding on it. At the end of the day, Bull, it doesn’t matter who did what to whom—what matters is that your soul is clear.

Your intimate life could take a sexy turn, thanks to today’s potent mashup of magnetic Pluto in experimental Aquarius and molten Mars who’s simmering in Aries and your eighth house of soul-merging.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 3
Say what? Someone’s borderline-combative actions could take you by surprise today, as calculating Pluto syncs with aggressive Mars in Aries. Maybe you come home to a messy house or a nasty note on your door from a neighbor. Or perhaps a key business associate decides to take a job overseas, leaving all joint projects in your care. Even if the turn of events is unsettling at first, the silver lining is that you’ll probably gain some much-longed for clarity from this conflict. Embrace it.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday May 3
Lay off the caffeine, Scorpio. Your nerves could be all knotted up today, as your ruler, depth-plumbing Pluto connects to jittery Mars. Your propensity to stress out and overthink is way too high to risk that second latte or triggering talk you’ve been putting off. Instead, make time to work out and do other balancing activities. Your home environment could be full of unexpected demands, so a mid-day meditation or yoga class may help you stay centered. Remember that you don’t have to rush to mitigate every mood. Let yourself feel your feelings first and you’ll make smarter choices..
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday May 3
A sexy shake-up could be in store today, as Pluto in your variety-loving third house winks at lusty Mars in Aries and your passionate fifth. An attraction you weren’t even looking for could surge up, throwing you off your center slightly. (Blushing and stammering happens to everyone.) It’s exciting for your possibility-loving sign to feel this breath of fresh air, especially in the amorous arena, where you’re notorious for getting bored easily. Coupled Archers could catch a wave of baby fever or finally find the motivation to tackle a longstanding project together.

Simple solutions are often the most elegant ones, Pisces.

Even if you thought your budget was under control, you could have added clarity today, and some much-needed enthusiasm to really tighten that fiscal belt. Of course, external circumstances could also force you to reexamine these areas. But if you lose a client or gig, don’t worry. You have the intellectual prowess to figure out something better—far better.
