Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, May 23, 2012: You have a gift for effortlessly making friends this year. As a result, many of your long-term dreams could become realities. If you are single, you’ll meet several potential suitors and will have difficulty selecting. Don’t, but take a workshop in the art of diplomacy. If you are attached, don’t fight over money – get separate checking accounts. A baby born today has a Sun in Gemini and a Moon in Cancer if born after 4:31 a.m. Before that time, the Moon is in Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Sometimes even the best of intentions go haywire, making you wonder what your role in this mess was. At this point in time, you might have a very controlling boss or friend. Do your best not to respond to his or her game.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • Communication runs amok, as someone might not do or say what you feel is needed in a certain circumstance. Clearly, someone you are dealing with wants to have things his or her way. Detach and let this person have just that.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • Your vision and another person’s vision of what works might be in direct opposition. Choose not to make it an issue, and distance yourself appropriately.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • You might feel that you are in an either-or situation. Don’t take others’ comments personally. Your best move might be to simply pull back until a situation is resolved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • You might choose to distance yourself some from all the goings-on around you. You feel as if someone is pushing too hard to have his or her way. A simple ”no” doesn’t seem to work.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • You will need to focus, as many people might attempt to distract you. Could an argument be building with a child or loved one? He or she might need your reassurance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • Tension builds, as a respected elder, boss or parent demands that certain matters be done his or her way. Push easily comes to shove. Don’t get into this power play. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • You might want to rethink a personal situation. Talk to someone with more experience in such matters who is not involved. Detach and don’t get into a struggle of wills. Recognize that no one wins that way. Let the other party be upset for a while. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Deal with each person individually, even if this isn’t the norm for you. Relating directly helps you establish needed boundaries. Someone needs to understand that he or she doesn’t have access to your funds as if they were his or her own!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • You might want to rethink a personal issue rather than keep pushing to have your way. You might not realize how you are coming off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • You are concerned about finishing up an errand or completing a project. Your mind is elsewhere; therefore, you could cause yourself a problem.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Your imagination takes over. Even when someone tries to be controlling, your sense of humor makes it close to impossible to take this person seriously.
