HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 27): All the attention and praise you get in the early part of this solar return will render it unnecessary to hang on to situations that were only there to serve your ego. You’ve a true desire to serve others, perhaps by being a leader in thought and deed toward a brighter tomorrow. Your means increase, and so will your vitality. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 9, 11, 49 and 16.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The path of normalcy is well-worn and comfortable to walk. Yet you’ll veer off — brave the weeds and rocks, the unsure dips and precarious climbs, all in the name of knowing your own wilderness.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some illusions are fun to keep, and if there also happens to be nothing to gain by breaking their spell, what’s the harm in letting them spin a little magic into your world?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): There are those who bond by putting themselves on a pedestal and criticizing the rest of the world. It’s not a lasting model. Sooner or later, someone falls off and/ or is usurped. Beware of bonding in ways that are hard to sustain.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): It will be on you to keep the morale of the group buoyant. This will be made so much easier by choosing the right topics of conversation and avoiding the wrong ones.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When the schedule or lineup changes, flow with it. People will drop in and out of the planned order, and all of these twists will wind up being for the best, as long as you don’t resist.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Whatever helps you step out of a typical perspective will be lucky for you today. This could be a piece of entertainment, a new venue, a conversation with someone very different from you, or something else.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Maybe you don’t even realize it, but there’s a bit of work you’ve been avoiding. If you can get to the bottom of your secret reasons for not wanting to tackle this, you’ll handle the work with little effort.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Because of your open-minded approach to problem-solving, your awareness will sail high and plunge low in service of the solutions. You’ll see answers, consequences and benefits that others don’t.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You resist doing what everyone else is doing because it’s more fun for you to find your own way. Your way may not be any better or worse, but you’ll love it more because it’s all yours.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Lopsided situations get your attention — the ones that feel like a slog, one person pulling the other along or both awkwardly forcing the relationship into an arrangement no one really wants. Honesty is what’s needed now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One aspect of your life is getting old. Something will take its place. Look around. You’re in a position to “shop” for the habits, practices and lifestyle enhancements to align with the you that you want to become.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may find that you crave more attention than you usually feel you need, and there’s nothing wrong with this. You deserve to be acknowledged and cared for!
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Every full moon has its own personality. This week welcomes the full moon in supersize Sagittarius on Tuesday, May 29. Sagittarius has a social fire-sign energy ruled by the planet Jupiter, the Lord of Largesse, the original Mr. Big. The energy of the Sagittarius full moon is large and in charge, bold and beautiful, strong and wrong. Well, not necessarily wrong, but the thinking will be that in certain matters, such as entertainment and the early stages of relationship building, it’s better to assume the risk of a memorable bold gesture than to go with the mildmannered, forgettable choice.
Sagittarius is also an energy of curiosity, especially for different worlds and cultures. The prevailing motivation at the start of this week will be a pioneering spirit and a quest for experiential knowledge. The propelling force is wrapped inside the simple question, “What are they doing over there?” Don’t take anyone’s word for it. Go find out for yourself.
The second-most influential cosmic change will be Mercury’s entrance in Gemini. It’s one of the places Mercury feels most at home, boding well for communication. The formerly avoidable difficult conversations will now be much more easily tackled. So don’t be afraid to speak up. Just take a breath and spill it.
