Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 4, 2010: This year, you swing from detachment to being an active leader. Decisions made when you detach usually are easily implemented. If attached, look at the big picture. Accept and honor your differences. If single, you could meet someone quite exotic. Aquarius demands a lot.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Don’t assume that it is business as usual. Some parties have put on war paint and are heading down the warpath. With dynamic thinking, a happy solution can be found.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• Detach, especially if you feel that someone might be intentionally tripping you up. With a new perspective, you just might decide that this behavior has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the other party.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) •••• You have been letting others run with the ball – because they want to. Refuse to get into a “told you so” conversation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Others could make commitments involving your talents without checking with you first. Granted, you have reason to be angry. But remember that all you need to do is claim your power.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) •••• Dive into work knowing that although it’s tiring, things will be changing. Or at least you will feel more inspired as people pop in and out of your workplace.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Think of yourself as full of creative solutions. The challenge remains how to impart them in a manner that another person can hear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••• Remain in your comfort zone. You will feel better and possibly be more productive. A partner could test your commitment. Choose to respond rather than react.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• You are forceful – so much so that your words could trigger a boss, authority figure or elder. Maintain a quiet sense of humor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••• Be aware of the push and pull of a key situation. Be willing to do more research and gather other opinions. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••• You have a lot to think about. Investigate your options more carefully. One that you nixed actually might work. Clear yourself of prejudgments, and you will feel empowered.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••• Handle a personal matter that could be tossed into your lap once more. You wonder exactly what to do with a key associate. An important presentation needs to happen late in the day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Harness your unusual energy, plugging it into work or a project. A meeting reveals a vocal associate who could go in the opposite direction from you.
