PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY May 5 2025 to May 11 2025 Monday May 5 VE Day No matter which part of the planet we're from, we've got lots in common. Humans share fundamental qualities. And our differences are what make life interesting and vibrant. As Mercury (ideas and communication) links to Jupiter (optimism and wisdom), the cosmos encourages us to celebrate diversity. People across Europe are holding street parties to celebrate VE Day today. But wherever you are, if you've got a chance to share food, enjoy conversations, and have a dance, go for it. Tuesday May 6 Best of Friends The final episode of the TV sitcoms, Friends, aired 21 years ago today. Its relatable characters and its exploration of relationships, friendships, love, and daily life made it one of the most popular shows of all time. And it hasn't lost its appeal. The chemistry between the cast members continues to pull in a new, young audience. As the Sun links to Neptune, and Venus aligns with Pluto, we can appreciate the complexities of people around us, and build stronger, lasting relationships today. Wednesday May 7 Improvements in Key Relationships "Every person is worthy of an infinite wealth of love - the beauty of their soul knows no limit." These words were written by the Indian poet and writer, Rabindranath Tagore, who was born on this day 164 years ago. He was awarded a Nobel Prize for his sensitive, inspiring verse. Following Venus (love, beauty and harmony) linking to Pluto (intensity, power and transformation) emotions are running high. Directed in a positive way, profound improvements in key relationships are possible. Thursday May 8 Sir David Attenborough! Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborough! The legendary naturalist, broadcaster, and producer has done more than anyone to bring the natural world into our living rooms. With series like Life on Earth and The Blue Planet, he's changed the way we look at this ball of rock we call home, and made us more aware of the lives/habits of its creatures and plants. As Mercury (communication) prepares to leave Aries, with an adventurous spirit, we can explore new territories and make good connections today. Friday May 9 A Full Moon Awakens Your Strongest Traits As the Moon grows full, it shines an increasingly intense light onto our emotions. Happy people are happier, and their desire to celebrate is stronger. Generous people are kinder. And creative folks are more inspired. Yet the silvery orb doesn't discriminate; it applies its energy to everyone. Which means needy people can get more needy, and nervous people can feel more fearful. It's notorious for empowering passion and amplifying anger. This weekend, focus its energy on the best parts of you. Back to Index           Oscar and Cainer's Daily Zodiac Forecasts
