ARIES (March 21-April 19). A loved one encourages you to try something you never thought you’d do. Rather than going along with what others want, have goals of your very own. Singles find love through groups of friends.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are the one who benefits from the ability to forgive and forget. Your physical interactiveness increases with your commitment to more time to yourself. It’s safe to say "yes" to love – you won’t be fenced in.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The more casual conversations you light up, the luckier you are. Cultivating interesting relationships (and a little drama, too) is a hobby worthy of you. Revel in debates and friendly competitions.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The smartest solutions happen when you put down the task and walk away for a while. Modesty is nice for others, but you win by giving yourself full credit. Lots of sleep is the answer tonight; your body needs to rejuvenate.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once you figure out what you want, put it out there. There’s nothing sadder than a dream you don’t go for 100 percent. Partners who can’t support you in your mission aren’t really partners to begin with.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 25). This year, you live up to the priorities you set. Less-than-ideal circumstances fade away when you take charges of your life. New love is dazzling this month, and marriage is likely by August. Gemini and Pisces make ideal love partners. In business, you can do more alone than with financial partners up until September, when it’s best to join forces. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 21, 40 and 38.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Getting to the point is the theme. It’s not wrong to want to know why, but it’s not the best use of your time to figure it out, either. Concentrate on what you can do right now to make it better instead.
LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23). You know there’s a method to your madness, but you’ll have to explain to loved ones or expect to be pestered. Information from new friends saves time and money. You and Cancer share romantic vibes.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can’t be sure how the road to romance will twist and turn. The impulse is even stronger to xxxx what feels right in your gut instead of thinking things through. Take an extra moment to envision the future of every decision.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For you, the important things get done in a team, especially a team of two. If you give in to an overwhelming urge to couple up with someone special, you’re likely to experience a power greater than the sum of its parts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Guesses are accurate. Re-examine a relationships before making a more serious commitment. The ones who can accommodate the wishes of others without compromising principles will be extremely lucky.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is a great day to set spending limits and financial goals. Avoid forcing negotiations; be patient and methodical. You could make money with a down-home product or new way of distributing information.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everyone gets mad at the one who holds up the line. If you were wrong, admit it, and everything clears up in a matter of hours. The evening brings an opportunity to explore a completely new (and therefore risky) venture.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: This year’s Mother’s Day happens to fall during the most nurturing moon, namely Virgo, the Virgin, and her careful attention to all things sweet, soft, feminine and life-improving. This goes hand in hand with the Taurus solar influence, and Mom will be lavished with heartfelt generosity. But when Monday rolls around, we find that work picks up, and slow, almost excruciating, progress toward a goal continues. A million details must fall into place on Monday morning in order to set up the meetings, dates and powwows of all kinds that will be going down now through Tuesday night. It’s not so easy to shake the stress of all this, but partners are amenable to suggestions, and that helps enormously. The smartest ones will delegate anything and everything they don’t know enough about. It’s not time to learn yet, so getting it off your plate will help you concentrate on what you’re good at. Thursday brings the release of a full moon in sexy Scorpio, and there will be plenty of howling going on! The weekend will start early, at least as far as our minds and attitudes are concerned!
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Music, rhythm, dance and beauty are all wrapped up in Janet Jackson’s natal chart, which is rich with Taurus and Aries influences. She’s got Jupiter in Cancer, which shows that any art that helps her work through intense feelings will also be a huge commercial success. That’s why she could put out a record more based on sentimental love songs than on sensational beats to dance to.
