ARIES (March 21-April 19): Think like a person of action, act like a person of thought. Appeal to the generosity of others when you need cooperation, but don’t be too proud or too stingy to act with tolerance and generosity yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s ever too late to offer an apology. You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment to pay someone a compliment, offer a pat on the back or mend fences. Seize the moment and make it perfect.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If life ever offers you a fast-forward button, you could find out how it all ends. Until then, you must act on faith and use your best judgment. Everything will turn out for the best if you remain sincere.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You never need to change what you see, only the way you see it. Pay attention to insights and inspirations today. A fresh perspective might help you make a wise decision or patch up a relationship.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Strike up conversations and develop lasting friendships. Seek common ground; find similarities. In competitive situations, don’t listen if someone urges you to dim your light because it is shining in their eyes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make a toast. Raise your glass and give credit where credit is due. It doesn’t matter whether the glass is half empty or half full. Be grateful that you actually have a glass and that there’s something in it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone else may be the yin to your yang. The “haves” and “havenots” can team up and help each other. Once you stop comparing yourself to others, you will find peace, harmony and contentment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Encouragement pays more dividends than criticism. If you must point out an error, be sure to praise what was done right, as well. You may focus on figures and hard, cold facts -- but compassion counts, too.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are prone to making decisions using the coinflip method. It is time for you to learn more facts about the subject or to learn who is an expert so you can ask for an expert opinion.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Brains and brawn can team up as an unbeatable combination. Financial ambitions can be realized if you pay attention to advice and strike while the iron is hot. You can cope with a heavy schedule.
AQUARIUS (Jan.20 - Feb. 18): Doyourownthing. Find ways to be energetic and enthusiastic - - even when faced with repetitive routines. Herman Melville advised, “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t lose yourself trying to help others find themselves. Your sympathies are as boundless as the ocean, so careful navigation is a must. Pry yourself away from daydreams; remember to be practical.
IF JANUARY 21 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: During the next several weeks, your innate business sense will help you lay the groundwork for the future. Since you are passionate about success, you are willing to do what must be done to ensure success. May is a good month to put financial ideas into motion or to launch key projects. You will be able to relax and take some time to smell the roses in June and July when your fantasy life is enriched by a new love interest and when opportunities for a vacation may arise. Remain alert during early November for a helping hand or wise advice that can be of great benefit to your future.
