Horoscope: Thursday, May 29

You will be torn between two equally attractive offers today. If you are smart you will go for the one that promises bigger rewards in the long-term rather than a smaller but more immediate fix. Think of it as a cosmic lesson in delayed gratification.

Yes, you may have another cookie, Taurus. Enjoy it and don't feel guilty. Guilt is useless. Today, get rid of regret. Express your emotions but don't dwell on them. Your sensitivity is acute, so put up your psychic shield. You might pick up on others' intense energy, so be careful. Sympathize with others, but don't take on their garbage. They need to take out their own trash.

You want to prove you have what it takes to compete at the highest level but watch out you don’t bite off more than you can chew. Everyone has limits, even a Gemini, and you must make sure you know what your limits are.

Career issues and money matters are under good stars at the moment and if you can find a way to combine the two this could be a hugely profitable time for you. Just be careful your workload does not get so heavy that you find it hard to cope.

Have you been waiting for a letter or call from a business or romantic partner for a long time, Cancer? If so, you will probably receive it today. Don't be surprised if it's long! News and useful information could be exchanged. You will feel energized and determined once the communication is completed. The partnership's future goals will be more strictly defined as a result.

Your calm will be put to the test today, Leo. Try not to fall into this trap. You should try to show people that you're a thoughtful person and your past experiences have given you wisdom. You don't necessarily have to respond to aggression. However, you shouldn't forget about your own point of view. Try to assert yourself calmly and steadily.

Today you might attend a group event of some kind in your neighborhood, Virgo, possibly in the company of a partner. You and your friend might take an active part in discussing goals for the group. You feel strongly bonded to everyone - your partner, fellow group members, even the community. It's a warm, fuzzy feeling that could stay with you all evening.

You must not allow other people to dictate to you in any way, shape or form, today, not even if you and they believe it is for your own good. Once they find they can tell you what to do you will find it hard to break free again.

Some days it may be hard for you to get motivated, Scorpio, but if ever there were a day in which it was easier than others, this would be the day. You’ll find that your mind is quite attuned to the situation around you and that your sense of grounding is helping you manifest that which you wish to bring to life. There’s a sense of time restriction and limitation to the day that is prodding you to act now.

This is one day for you to be as flexible as possible, Sagittarius. It may be that you begin with a specific list of items that absolutely must be done, but get distracted by some news from a friend or co-worker. What had seemed so important is no longer so, and your day shifts to accommodate this new piece of information. You'll be rather surprised by but no less satisfied with how the day turns out.

Someone you are close to is trying to keep important information from you, most likely because they fear that your friendship could suffer if you found out what they’ve been up to. Let them know that in your eyes they can do no wrong.

Although it looks as if the next few months should shape up to be a great time for your career, Capricorn, unfortunately, today it might appear hopeless. Mundane, routine, unrewarding tasks could take up a lot of your time on the job today. Nevertheless, don't let the frustration interfere with your outlook for the future. You're due for advancement in some way!

Work may seem more like a drag than usual, as today your thoughts are at home with family, friends, and your partner in life, Aquarius. You're unlikely to concentrate on work, and you might reach for the phone constantly to seek a friendly voice. Images of beautiful objects may dance in your head. Don't worry about your concentration. It will be back tomorrow!

Other people may try to wield their power even when it isn't their place. This is one time when people may try to show off their IQ by offering random facts that don't offer anything useful to the situation at hand but just serve to prove their knowledge of esoteric trivia. Try not to buy into other people's displays of power, Pisces. There's more than likely a great deal of hype and not much substance.
