HOROSCOPE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May

8): Though you don’t make finding love, joy and fun your priority, these qualities will be abundantly present this trip around the sun. Scorpio and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 20, 14, 44 and

32.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The successful move of the day: Give your energy to those who give back. And even though it’s not always possible or advisable to love only those who love you, etc., today it’s your ticket to heart-happiness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Even though you may feel clueless as to what is your next move, your intention to avoid trouble and steer yourself in a healthful and supportive direction will lead you into becoming who you want to be. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll be put in a position today. Make it easy for present-you by saying yes. Make it easy for future-you by saying no. The second way is better. CANCER (June 22-July 22): When you’re doing something for the first time, it seems to take a lot longer. The novelty changes your perception of time and makes moments stretch. Break the routine. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There are a lot of things that mistakenly pass for gratitude. Manners, humility, deference — they’re all fine and well, but they are not gratitude. Gratitude is a type of joy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get into the kind of relationships you can handle. You know what you have time for and what you don’t. You know what feels easy and what seems right but somehow isn’t quite. Trust yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You have a problem. Other people have the same problem. If you can solve it for you, you can solve it for the others, too. Knowing it’s bigger than you will give you the motivation to dig in and try harder for the answer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Everyone judges. “No judgment but...” is one way judgy sentences can start. If you find yourself judging, even if it’s only mentally, then add an “or not” to the end of what you were thinking. Because the opposite idea may be just as true.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21): An unhelpful idea that’s been ingrained in you since you were small will be tricky to free yourself from, but that’s exactly what you need to do to move to a lighter mode of being.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.

19): The different kinds of inspiration will compound. Intellectual inspiration will ignite physical exuberance; social inspiration will effervesce into spiritual joy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): For a conflict to resolve, one person has to soften in the name of resolution. That person is automatically the bigger person, as it takes a great spirit to be humble.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your learning process can be very mysterious. Maybe it feels like nothing is clicking in, but keep exposing yourself to the material you want to absorb. When it does click in, it will be sudden and magical.
