Horoscope

Happy birthday: for Monday, May 7. This year you break patterns and open up to better relationships. You won’t mind being challenged by others; in fact, you will enjoy the spirited interactions.

Respect this person’s differences. If you are attached, you might experience an innate tension between you and your sweetie. As a couple, you are more creative and dynamic than you are individually. SCORPIO presents you with many different opportunities. Aries (March 21-April 19): ★★★★ Pressure builds around communication. News you hear could be informative yet confusing.

You might want to come to an understanding with this person. Extremes come to the forefront, as others might be extremely pushy. Be willing to let go of what no longer works.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): ★★★★ Understand that not everything is under your control, as much as you might like to think it is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ★★★★ Defer to others, rather than carry all the responsibility yourself. Your friends might have different ideas for how to make an adjustment to handle these tasks.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): ★★★★ Your creativity emerges when you open up to new possibilities. Still, you have a lot of energy focused on completing what must be done.
