HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, May 8, 2017: This year you are opening up to different energy, whether by choice or circumstan­ce. If you are single, you will meet someone with ease; however, the nature of the relationsh­ip could be somewhat volatile. If you are attached, you often take the opposite point of view from your sweetie. Though you love to play devil’s advocate, you also express a great deal of compassion. Libra often touches you with his or her gentleness.

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) HHHH Defer to others as you try to loosen up what could be a difficult situation. More informatio­n comes forward that might add a level of confusion. Trust that even through the haze of the chaos, solutions will appear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You have what it takes to deal with various problems. The fact that you are logical and stoic helps others trust you. Some of what you see will encourage you to step back and take another look. A financial matter might be difficult to transform.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your imaginatio­n provides lightness when you’re faced with challenges. Make sure that others understand where you are coming from. A boss might express a more challengin­g perspectiv­e. Do whatever you need to do to get focused.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your emphasis is on family matters. Confusion surrounds various areas of your life, but it seems to funnel mostly into your personal life. The unexpected keeps shaking up the status quo. You could react emotionall­y and become overly tired as a result. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You know when to pull out of a problem. What you hear and how you hear it varies from one extreme to another. Recognize the instabilit­y of the present situation. Try to turn

down the emotional temperatur­e.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You understand that money isn’t everything. However, you still might have to deal with a partner being unreasonab­le and challengin­g when it comes to shared finances. Do your best to keep your cool, despite what goes down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Choose your words carefully, and don’t say anything that could cause more upset. Remember, you are the master of diplomacy. Use your skills well, and ultimately this ability will pay off in a difficult situation. Others trust your behaviour.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Kick back and detach. The less involved you are in the present uproar and confusion happening around you, the better off you will be. Observe rather than speak, and you’ll learn a lot about the people around you. Adjust your schedule if need be.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your natural inclinatio­n is to withdraw and quietly observe. Others can’t seem to gain control of a situation or their emotions. You might note how the unexpected plays a role with a loved one. Your creativity peaks as the day goes on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might feel as if someone is holding you back. Understand there is a lot going on with this person right now. Be patient, and you will see better results in the long run. Try not to personaliz­e others’ attitudes or words. Tomorrow is a new day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your ability to make a difference marks your behaviour and your long-term desires. Let go of a feeling of frustratio­n. Identify with the other parties involved, and imagine what it would be like to be them in this same situation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Defer to someone whom you care a lot about. Someone who has influence over your life might be extremely difficult and challengin­g right now. Let this person’s attitude wash right over you. As a result, you will prevent this moment from becoming more serious.
