Horoscope: Saturday, May 30

If someone is rude and confrontational for no good reason today then by all means be rude right back at them. Yes, there is a danger that the situation might spiral out of control, but your self- respect is at stake, making it a risk worth taking.

What occurs in your life today will remind you how far short of your potential you have fallen. As power planet Pluto comes out of its retrograde phase you will be forced to admit that you should have tried harder. Never mind, there’s still time.

Keep routine tasks to a minimum today because your time would be better used improving a relationship of some kind. You may be a touch shy by nature but that is not an excuse to hide yourself away behind a mountain of work.

Today is a day to shine, Taurus, so make sure you're giving it your all. Get the credit you deserve for all you do. Try not to fall into self-pity. Be yourself and people will naturally follow your lead. Now is an excellent time to make some plans for the future. Stay grounded and on target with your goals. Make sure you aren't thrown off course by other people's whims.

You seem to be a lot more open and trusting of late and that’s good, but don’t give too much away about your long-term plans or your rivals may use that information to place obstacles in your path. Some things should be kept to yourself.

If you allow yourself to get angry with someone today you may go over the top and say something you later regret. Both in your personal life and when dealing with work colleagues you must think before you speak. Yes Gemini it’s possible, even for you!

Cosmic activity in and around the career area of your chart warns that you may fall out with someone in a position of authority today. By all means stick up for yourself but don’t make enemies of powerful people for no good reason.

You may be finding it hard to get a straight answer out of certain people but why let it bother you? You don’t need to know what they are up to and still less do you need their opinion. Ignore them today and do your own thing.

Nothing much will change over the next 24 hours but you can feel on some inner level that a new cycle is about to begin. It promises to be a positive one too, enabling you to look at life through fresh eyes after so much recent disappointment.

It's likely that your personal and creative horizons are expanding, Virgo. Your or another's artistic enterprises might pay off big today. You could be introduced to people who prove to be valuable contacts as well as new friends. Your love relationships are going well. Your new feeling of enthusiasm and self-confidence certainly doesn't hurt!

Your self-belief has taken a few knocks in recent weeks but soon you will be back to your best. But don’t go from one extreme to the other and start thinking that nothing can go wrong. Experience tells you that could lead to disaster.

You may be anxious about a certain situation but worrying about it won’t make any difference at all, so take control of your feelings and make sure you act only in ways that make a positive result more likely. You can and you will succeed.

It does not matter how convinced you may be that you are right and someone else is wrong you won’t get far without being willing to compromise. Yes, you can find a middle ground, especially if you look for it in places you don’t usually go.

Knowledge is power, or so they say, and the more your rivals know about your aims the easier it will be for them to frustrate them. So don’t give too much away today, either in your personal life or at work. Keep the good stuff to yourself.

Try not to dramatize situations that are really quite natural. Saturn in your sign can help you keep your feelings in check but other influences may encourage you to blow off emotional steam, and if you do the situation could quickly get out of hand.

Be honest with others about what it is you hope to achieve, both in your work and in your private life, even though you know they probably won’t agree with you. They may in fact surprise you and back you to the hilt. Stranger things have happened.

The thing you need to realize is that there is always a reason to laugh if you care to look for it. Do whatever it takes to get out of the negative mindset that says nothing will ever go right again. You’ve still got plenty to smile about.

This is one of the best times of the year to get things done but you don’t need to do everything in one mad rush. Prioritize your goals, then make plans for reaching them one at a time over the next few weeks. Small steps lead to big successes.

Having boasted for so long that you are going to do something out of the ordinary it’s about time you got on with it. The planets warn if you put it off any longer your reputation could suffer badly. You’ve got what it takes, so take it!

When it comes to romance, your body is apt to turn to jelly today. You may be so emotional that you can't function, Pisces. That's love. And even though it can be heavenly, it can also be debilitating. You could deliberate for hours about an issue because you don't want to make a move without your partner's input. If you don't have a romantic partner now, find one soon, but not today.
