Daily Horoscope for May 29

Libra

At the moment you have a very strong need to belong, to be loved and cosseted. Look for reassuring friends who will give you more attention and support than usual, and be an anchor for you.

Your mood is fickle, so you need friends who will let you lean on them one moment and fly free the next.
