YOUR HOROSCOPE
Birthday Guy: Actor Jeffrey Donovan was born in Amesbury, Mass., on this day in 1968. This birthday guy starred as Michael Westen on “Burn Notice” from 2007-2013.

Edgar.” He will next co-star in Rob Reiner’s upcoming political drama “LBJ.”
Aries (March 21-April 19): Give an inch to gain a mile. Suspicions and doubts are only guesses gone wrong. The good guys might hide their benevolence, but they will meet you more than halfway if you are willing to offer a compromise or ask for assistance. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Raise the stakes to receive praise. A takecharge attitude could get the attention of those who hold the reins of power. The rewards you receive could further your situation, but be mindful of stepping on sensitive toes.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Use soothing balm rather than sandpaper to get your point across. Abrasive actions can rub sensitive emotions the wrong way, causing a brief rift. Busy people may not have the time to be as polite as they should be.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Sell to the highest bidder. If your career involves selling something, you can use your people skills and networking talents to find willing buyers. People are willing to place their money in the hands of those they trust. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your best foot forward. Your finest side is on display when you can voice your opinion in business situations. This may fatten your wallet. Ask for favors or a helping hand, and you may have a positive result.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If lies don’t undermine a relationship, the truth might. When hidden enmity emerges, you might come to a different conclusion about a person. You may overcome adversity using the wisdom to forgive and forget.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Charm and good looks are not enough to impress some people. Your success may depend on the opinions and beliefs of others. Open your mind, and follow the wisdom of someone in a higher position who has more experience.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Settle for being a sidekick rather than a star. You may find your personal desires taking a back seat to the dreams of a dynamic “alpha.” Be content to ride the shirttails of a go-getter to bigger and better opportunities.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your way won’t be barred if you reach for the stars. You could meet a helpful individual who can light the way toward a better future. Let your creative imagination flow, and you are likely to achieve success.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You don’t have a train ticket or a chauffeur. You may long to be somewhere else on some exciting adventure, but you are stuck in the real world. Keep your feet on the ground, and focus on taking care of business.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sometimes saying “no” is the way to go. You might want to agree just to be agreeable and avoid friction. However, this will not serve your best interests. Choose the course of action that benefits you the most.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Take small sips of sympathy and sentiment. Your imagination may get out of hand and impede your progress like onion skins that clog a garbage disposal. If you have developed the habit of being thrifty, don’t change now.
Iif May 11 is your birthday: A boatload of friends might keep you in the social swim during the coming six to eight weeks. June can be a great time for physical exercise or competitive sports. Be grateful for all the help you receive in August. Don’t be bashful about accepting the opportunities or rewards that appear from out of the blue. That is a good time to make plans for your future, sign off on financial decisions or launch major initiatives.
