HOROSCOPE

(May 28 Monday)

Moon, Mercury and Memorial Day Strong social instincts take hold on this Memorial Day – a day to appreciate what’s been built on the sacrifices of those who went before and to remember those who have given their lives for their country. The moon tugs at Mercury on his last day in Taurus, as if to call on the strength of the bull before moving into Sagittarius, where it will be full tomorrow.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will work hard for small amounts of praise now. Who knows why? The reasons are complicated and probably irrelevant. The important part is you’ll do the work and learn more from that than you would from any other teacher.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some of your predecessors are more mysterious than others. It’s worth it to learn about some of the lower-profile people. Without knowing the history of everyone in the story, you’ve a partial and incomplete knowledge of the past.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The tenderhearted have given you something priceless that you’ll cherish always. As for you, you’re currently on a trajectory of toughening up. It’s just what you need to do to be effective in the months to come.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In theory, someone should only be able to hurt your feelings once. Of course, this could work only if you were steadfast to your own emotional rules. Even if you get hurt again, you won’t regret your willingness to forgive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t worry so much, if you can help it. This is all happening as it should. When you’re feeling brave and ready to do bigger things, the world will rise up to meet you with an exciting challenge.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your tastes have changed, and so have your needs. You wouldn’t make the same choice you made back then. Yet there’s something to hold on to here. You may

stick with it out of a sense of loyalty or nostalgia.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Procrastination is natural, but you can outsmart it by being ruthless with your approach. Do the dreaded thing first. Don’t give yourself a choice. Don’t give yourself time to think about it. Just do it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Because people advance to adulthood at widely varying paces, some people you used to have much in common with are now at a completely different place in life. You’ll enjoying hearing about the other person’s world.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Armchair adventures such as the kind that can be had through a computer or television screen or book will lead to actual real-life adventures of the grandest sort. The idea will be planted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When it’s your turn to talk or when you’re invited to give input, you take the opportunity, no problem! But waiting for such a thing may be the wrong move. Even if no one asks, seize the stand when it’s important – or because it’s right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The health of relationships can’t be determined by a doctor, because no doctor can know fully what’s in the heart, mind and intention of each person. Also, what some call “unhealthy” might work rather well for others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Notice how powerful you feel. Your agency over your situation and/or the situation of others matters. It’s not something to consider lightly. An accurate assessment could make a difference to your future.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 28). Opportunity will knock on your door. If you don’t answer it, opportunity will disprove all cliches by returning time and again because this one is for you. This one is destiny, and you might as well embrace the adventure the first time. Sagittarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 8, 22, 28 and 30.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I recently found a strange email on my husband’s computer. It originated from a social networking account he has. He had accidentally left his computer open and stayed logged in. I wasn’t trying to be nosy, but when I went to close his computer, the message was right there. It was a short note from someone he dated many years ago. She was saying how much she misses talking to him. Should I bring it up to him? I’d be incriminating myself as a snoop if I did. I’m a Virgo, and he’s a Capricorn.”

Only you can answer this question. But being a Virgo, you will most likely not let this issue rest without some kind of resolution. Your mind will turn it and work it like a piece of eternal chewing gum until you finally decide how you’re going to spit it out. I don’t want to use the word “obsessive,” but I guess I just did! Capricorn is a very traditional-minded sign and doesn’t take the rules of personal privacy lightly. He’ll have an issue with your snooping, no matter how accidental it may have been. It’s all in your execution when you tell him. Be spiritually light.
