Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, May 16, 2011: This year, you often are drawn in by the charm and caring of others. You, too, have many of those same qualities. You could opt to express your compassion through volunteer work or involvement with a key organization. If single, many people cannot stay away from you, as you have unusual magnetism and a unique style. If attached, your magnetism is attractive to your significant other. Enjoy! Scorpio can be quite challenging. A baby born today is a Sun in Taurus with a Moon in Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You work well with others; however, whether intentional or not, a haze weaves around your words and actions. Perceptions also could be off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • Ultimately, no sign is as grounded or as practical as the Bull. That commodity will be in demand. Others seek you out with vague or challenging requests.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • An easy, relaxed pace allows greater give-and-take between you and another person. You might wonder exactly why a boss seems so out there or ethereal.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • • Your intuition works overtime as you home in on the basics. Logic might not support an emotional conclusion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • You might experience some difficulty as you attempt to connect on a deep level. A partner might be less than responsive in how he or she speaks to and approaches you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Others clearly are in charge. How you handle their attitude (when there appears to be one) could define not only your day, but also the outcome of a personal matter.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • Focus on one task at a time. You might have difficulty reining in your imagination. Great ideas, or at least amusing thoughts, keep popping up out of nowhere.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • Let your intuition take over, whether dealing with a creative project, a child or a new love interest. Your instincts serve you well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • Focus on your roots, home life and investments. Before you go off with a wild and maybe crazy scheme, relax. A little caution goes a long way right now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • • You might be far more diplomatic and graceful than you think. You come through with flying colors, whether in a heated argument, a lecture or simply writing a note.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Be sensitive to your finances, but do nothing that would depreciate who you are to others. Assets often go way past the realm of money.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • You might seem vague to others. You feel euphoric and are trying to express that feeling. Remain open to different people’s take on a situation.
