HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): As desperate as it feels, you’d much rather hang around a person who tries too hard than you would one who doesn’t try enough.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): It would be easy to assume people are shallow today because you are seeing only the surface behaviors of others who are struggling to keep up a social discourse appropriate to the situation.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): The act of wanting will suddenly set up an invisible and very active energy field around you.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): “Fun” is not a universal concept. If you accept someone else’s definition, you’re in for a rather tedious day.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): One way to make the minutes seem to go on forever is to engage in conversation with self-centered people who care nothing of your interest level in the topic.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be hit by a very rare form of nostalgia, one that centers on a poignant longing for the here and now.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Chances are you will not have the luxury of a coach today, but take heart. The results you get will teach you better than any coach could.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The great thing about your many responsibilities is that they don’t all need to be handled at once. Pace yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): People care about you more than you know and love you more than you want to know. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There will be temptations galore today. You’ll use up your wells of self-control if you stay in a place where you can see them all.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can progress from point A to point B without hard work. Make no assumptions going in.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): What’s well within the rules may be morally wrong. And the thing that breaks the rules may very well be the best thing you could do.

Today’s birthday (May 22): Life’s interruptions will be your biggest blessings this year, especially if you cultivate calm and resolve to find creative solutions. Keep your awareness keen through the next six weeks. You’ll get signs that point you to money and red flags that wave you away from troublemakers. July and September are extremely romantic. Capricorn and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 49, 33, 39 and 16.
