Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 5, 2011: This year, new ideas naturally come forward. You are often very lighthearted and silly. At other times, people try to approach you on a vulnerable and serious level. Follow your instincts from situation to situation. If single, someone too good to be true is most likely just that. If attached, the two of you will benefit from weekends away together. Gemini can be very controlling and possessive.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You express yourself more than usual. The more gently you express your feelings, the better the reaction. Don’t get upset when an intellectual discussion occurs out of the blue.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Curb a tendency to be possessive. Someone lets you know how he or she feels. This person is not as sure of him- or herself as he or she, or you, might like.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • You are all smiles, and others respond to that energy. Still, there is a seriousness when eyeing a child or loved one. Just be yourself, and everything will work out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Someone could be pushing your buttons, and your reaction could be over the top, too. Don’t allow anyone to trigger you but you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • Zero in on your priorities as you rarely have. How you view a changeable situation could be very different from your initial response. Your abilities vary with different people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Others often envy how you accept different work and what you do with difficult situations. Honestly, you might wonder whether making that extra effort is worth it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • You might be reaching out for something that isn’t quite reachable. Listen to news that is forthcoming, and allow more perspective and knowledge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • You might wonder what is going on within a key relationship. Talking through various ideas and feelings could point to where you might be negative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Zero in on your priorities. You could be overthinking a situation. No matter what you do, you’ll come up all smiles.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Dive into work knowing which way to go and why you are heading in that chosen direction. Enrich and empower that which exists rather than begin anew.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Check out a situation with a little more care. You might not know what you want to accomplish. You might decide it is time to back out quickly and with ease.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • Revise your opinions, especially involving a child or loved one. Your sense of humor comes through when you decide on an expenditure involving your home and family.
