Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday:
for Tuesday, May 14. This year, you often tap into your creative inner child for answers. At times, you find that you’re overwhelmed with possibilities and offers. Learn to say no more often. Don’t feel as though you must stick to the politically correct action or statement. Be you. If you’re single, many people find you charming when you let go of a need to be critical or fussy. You recognize that behavior as your need to distance yourself. If you’re attached, you and your partner gain; you do so mainly because of your willingness to grow and look at your issues. Travel or a special vacation could play a major role in your year. LIBRA is nearly as alluring as you are but doesn’t have your depth.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
★★★ Give up fussiness; go for easy relating. Although you might experience a hurdle or two, you’ll find that talking and sharing are easier and more fulfilling. You cannot underestimate the implications of different backgrounds and needs. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
★★★★ An associate’s or loved one’s optimism is contagious. How you deal with another person could make a big difference in the present as well as the long term. Be sensible. Honor a fast change of pace; you might be surprised by an insight or sudden revelation. Tonight: Make it easy.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
★★★★ Your creativity and gentleness get you far and allow others to give you feedback that might be very important. A change in your budget could be significant. Don’t go overboard when dealing with a problem. Tonight: Kicking up your heels.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
★★★★ Speak your mind; do what’s needed. You might’ve hurt someone’s feelings far more than you realize. Part of this person’s attitude and stance comes from defensiveness. Tonight: A must appearance.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
★★★ You have a better way of stating a problem or issue than many of the people around you do. Should a quarrel ensue, you might need to reveal your more diplomatic and caring stance. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
★★★★ Curb a tendency to be demanding and want much more time and attention. Others will make an effort, but that alone might not suffice. Initiate a conversation about funds and direction. Tonight: Easy works.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
★★★★ As the day ages, you feel much better and capable of a dramatic change. Take your time; use your sixth sense to determine when to bring up a hot topic. If this is done properly, you’ll probably be able to get an agreement. Tonight: All smiles. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ★★★ Know when to kick back and get a project cleared and done. You could find that communications are significant and difficult. Don’t lose your energy or courage. Given time, all will work out. Tonight: Hang with friends.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
★★★★★ Touch base with a person you care about. You have strong energy and can often overwhelm others with your ideas and solutions. A partner could go on the warpath out of the blue. Tonight: Step back or put on your war paint.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
★★★★ Reach out for a loved one at a distance. You could be too tired to continue on the present path. How you handle a boss might be instrumental. Your status at work could be in flux. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
★★★★★ One-on-one relating proves rewarding; you might decide to initiate togetherness with this person more often. Your creativity surges; you’re able to come up with a balance between your personal and professional lives. Tonight: Reach out for a loved one.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
★★★ Others come forward and share. The timing is right to ask a personal question. You might find that others open up and could be more expressive than they have been for a while. Tonight: Be a duo.
