HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 17, 2022: You are a modest person. You are determined, hardworking and independent. Your friendly, appealing quality attracts others to you. This year is the first year of a fresh, new nine-year cycle for you. Be courageous. Be ready to open any door!
ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★ Today you might feel vaguely discouraged or irritable. It’s a feeling that is hard to pin down. What’s happening is your ruler Mars is lined up with fuzzy Neptune, which makes you feel like your feet are stuck in mud. Tonight: Explore ideas.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ You might feel discouraged or confused about the direction that you should take with a friend or perhaps with a group with which you are involved. You had high hopes and expectations, but now things seem fuzzy and your plans are unclear. Tonight: Check your finances.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★ Whereas before you were gung-ho about setting off in a new direction, now you feel unprepared. Be wise. Pause for a moment and regroup. Don’t press forward blindly, hoping for the best. It’s important to take the time to regain your focus and confidence before you act or commit to anything. Tonight: Enjoy chatting with others.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Don’t fall for false rumors, false news or false propaganda, which will proliferate today. With Mercury retrograde taking place in your 12th House, you can research your own truth about things. Don’t believe everything you hear, especially in social media. Be smart. Tonight: Catch up on details.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★ You might feel discouraged today about something relating to shared property, taxes or debt. Perhaps you are disappointed in your share of something. You also might be disappointed because someone told you something that is not true. Tonight: Socialize!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★ Someone close to you might disappoint you today. This happens in all friendships and partnerships. One frequent reason it happens is because of unexpressed expectations. After all, someone cannot read your mind. Tonight: Relax at home.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Something related to your job or perhaps your health might be worrisome to you today. Ironically, in the very area where you were feeling upbeat and successful, now you have doubts. (Like, what’s with that?) Tonight: A fun conversation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★ This is a tough day for romance, because things are not only confusing and disappointing, there also might be an aspect of deceit lurking. You’re not sure if someone is telling you the truth. Either way, you feel let down. Tonight: Ponder moneymaking plans.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ This is a poor time for an important family discussion, because clarity and consensus will be difficult. In fact, things are mushy and confusing. Redecorating projects or renovations are stalled in the water. Be patient while things sort themselves out. Do nothing. Tonight: You win!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★ Today you question your right to speak up, which is why you might remain silent. It’s ironic, because recently you were confident and ready to tell it like it is. Don’t worry; this simply means you need to get your facts straight. Wait for the truth before pressing forward. Tonight: Enjoy solitude.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★ This is a poor time to make important financial decisions because you don’t have all the facts. Furthermore, the facts you do have might be wrong. Someone might be deceiving you. Yes, this is a tricky time, which means protect your money and your belongings. Tonight: Be friendly!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★ Today your energy level might be low, which is why you should not push yourself too hard. It will be easy to physically exhaust yourself, so be careful. Guard against infections and food poisoning. Don’t start anything new. Tonight: You are admired.
