Horoscopes by Jacqueline Bigar

Note: Bigar’s Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign.

A baby born today has a Sun in Taurus and a Moon in Capricorn if born before 1:50 p.m. (ET). Afterward, the Moon will be in Aquarius.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 16, 2017:

This year you will waver between being your conservative self and embracing your bohemian side. Your listening skills and ability to communicate are highlighted. If you are single, you will want to date someone who is flexible and who enjoys the many facets of your personality. A major relationship could develop in the next year. If you are attached, the two of you will want to travel more or open up to different ways of thinking. Don’t try to convince your sweetie that you are right all the time; respect your differences. AQUARIUS is an offbeat thinker.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ Your unpredictability emerges and leaves you with a transformed situation, hopefully for the better. A lot of people seek you out with questions about what to do in certain situations. Try to confirm what you hear before offering feedback. Tonight: Follow a friend’s lead.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★ Maximize a situation and get as much out of it as possible. In the morning, you have time to review certain facts. The afternoon pushes you into the limelight. Almost everyone seems to want time with you. Recognize that you’ll need to establish limits. Tonight: Easily found.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ Deal with a critical financial matter early on in the day. You could be overwhelmed by everything that comes down the pike. A meeting might cause you to be even busier, as you’ll be dealing with more people. Be reasonable, and honor your limits. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Others seek you out. You might wonder why you need to give someone so much attention and time. Recognize that what is too much for you probably is too much for others. Honor a change of energy, and know when to pull back. Tonight: Listen to a loved one let off steam.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Be more forthright with someone who often veers off in different directions. You and this person have very different thoughts and ideas. Respect those differences. Your creativity will be triggered when dealing with someone unusual. Tonight: Accept a last-minute invitation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ Give your imagination permission to veer off course. You might not be ready to deal with what you must. Sometimes a flight of fancy helps to renew your energy. By the afternoon, you will be ready to charge headfirst into a project. Tonight: Stay out as long as you want to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Be more forthright when dealing with others. If there is a problem, it will be easier to resolve than you initially had thought possible. Be a good listener right now; otherwise, you could hit a problem. You’ll be able to make headway if you relax more. Tonight: Out and about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Surprising news heads your way. You might question what to do under the present circumstances. Try asking questions in a way that is not threatening. You have lots of ideas that are noteworthy, but don’t present them until others are ready to listen. Tonight: As you like it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ Deal with financial issues first, and you will be happier as a result. Honor a fast change of pace. Do not let someone else intimidate you or shake you up. You could find a personal matter hard not to react to, but you’ll be better off not saying anything. Tonight: Meet up with your pals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You feel good in the morning, so tackle any major problem or issue that arises then. You could feel emotionally exhausted if you let it continue any longer. Do not take any risks in the afternoon, as you are pretty much guaranteed to see them backfire. Tonight: Make it your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ By midday, despite some confusion, you will feel prepared to make an adjustment if need be. State your message clearly so that the other parties involved can understand where you are coming from. Don’t let anyone deter you from taking a stand. Tonight: Go for what you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ Use the daylight hours to the max. You have a lot to accomplish, which you will. You seem to feel more upbeat than you have in quite a while. You might be concerned about a sudden financial problem that arises. Change is possible. Tonight: Only where you want to be.
