May 6: Your daily horoscope Don't set your sights too low for the coming 12 months. You are capable of much more than you realize, so aim high and expect, each and every day, to reach a target that now seems like a fanciful dream. It's so much more than that. You have nothing to prove and nothing to feel bad about, so don't even think of trying to explain yourself to those who don't approve of your aims or your methods. What do you care what they think! It is a fact of life that some people rub you the wrong way no matter how hard you try to like them. You will have to deal with such a person today. Deal with them as kindly as you can. You seem to believe that a friend has let you down and you are so annoyed that you may even be thinking of cutting your ties with them. Don't! According to the planets it's all a big misunderstanding. If you feel less than motivated as the new week begins then don't force yourself to do things you know you won't enjoy. Not even a Cancer can be in top form all the time. You'll feel a lot better tomorrow. Whatever you do today make sure you do it to the very best of your abilities. If you don't, you could draw the unwelcome attention of someone in power. Think of your reputation: make a good job a brilliant one. What took place over the weekend may not have been to your liking, but neither was it as bad as you think. This week's aspects are a lot more promising, so put the past behind you and move on with a smile. Try not to take life too seriously today. Find ways to see the amusing side in everything that happens. Even the most solemn of situations can be good for a laugh, if you are in the right frame of mind. The world is full of possibilities, but you seem determined to focus on the negative things. Why is that? Whatever the reason you need to snap out of it fast. Opportunities are everywhere - all you have to do is look. You will have to put up with an annoying person today, the kind of person you would usually cross the road to avoid. Try listening to what they have to say - they know something you should know, too. There is no point trying to get approval for what you intend to do this week. Have the courage to go for it no matter what other people might think or say. Fifty years from now who is going to care? What you think is important is really of no importance of all, so stop obsessing about it and turn your attention to more positive things. No matter what the "experts" say, nothing bad is going to happen. You may be tempted to give up on something that looks incredibly hard, but you will regret it if you do. The approaching eclipse will sweep away all your doubts by the end of the week, so hang in there.
