Horoscopes: May 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll get the sneaking suspicion that your efforts are being wasted on someone who can't appreciate them. Pull back and look around for potential new fans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You quite simply accept yourself for who you are. You'll make someone laugh by admitting your vulnerability - and that takes real confidence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing a bad thing is not the same as being a bad person. Once you make the distinction, it will be easy to forgive and forget the one who has wronged you and move on.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won't be satisfied with the same thing that amused you last weekend. You'll keep moving until you find a place where the choices are better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A changed environment will have you starting over in some regard or getting a feel for new people. Be aware that an order of status is being established.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have skills that you hold back for special occasions. Tonight you'll turn on the movie star swagger and come up with the lines to match.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Finish what you start. If you make that your first priority of the day, you'll love the good fortune that follows.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most wrongheadedness is born out of an overactive ego. The trick is to humble yourself, and you'll see everything clearly. You'll know without a doubt your strongest next move.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You wouldn't have thought there is such a thing as too much support, but today you'll see that there is. If you accept all the help offered, you won't be as strong as you need to be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll be drawn to the person whose interests are so different from yours that you're sure to be stretched beyond your comfort zone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To get what you want, you have to want it badly. Being unsure leads to a weak commitment and unsatisfactory results. When you're sure of your aim, you'll apply your whole self to reach it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're not looking for new friends, but you'll find them anyway. You'll share something unique and personal about yourself, and others will open up and feel immediately connected to you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 3). Dealing with right now instead of worrying about the future will expand your good fortune. This month, the business you do with a close friend will make things right in your slice of the world. Commitments will change, and a new talent will blossom because of what you agree to. Finances are best in June, August and January. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 14, 3 and 49.
