HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Maintaining a positive attitude often requires viewing an issue in the greater scheme of things.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): If you find yourself spending a lot of time convincing yourself that you’re right, chances are you’re not.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): While people around you are trying to find their edge, you’ll be focused on mutually fulfilling exchanges. Success will be yours over.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Trying out a slightly different habit can be as easy as poking your head into one of those cardboard cutouts at tourist spots.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll pick up the burden that’s already there, but you’re careful not to create anything new to carry.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Most voting doesn’t happen on a ballot. It happens with body language, the attention you give others or your money. You’ll vote many times today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You can customize your inner-parenting style to suit the life you have now and the person you want to become.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The story that’s told can overwrite the story that happened and shape tomorrow’s story, too.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Your opinion matters, not only to you but also to those who watch you. You’re a thought leader, whether you realize it or not.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Finally, you’ll hear the words you’ve been waiting for. Now you can move forward.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today you really will see things as your loved one does (at least as much as it is humanly possible to do that), and your relationship will improve because of it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You are not motivated by money alone, though you may be highly motivated by a challenge involving a monetary prize.

Today’s birthday (May 5): You’re a principled person, and your belief about what things mean will add dimension to this year’s passions and quests. Loved ones will accept your help and act on your advice. You’ll trade in an old habit for a more energetic existence. Someone will travel far to see you. In 2019 it’s you who will be going the distance. Virgo and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 41, 12 and 44.
