HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, May 23, 2011: Others find you remarkable, alluring and “together.” This image might be difficult to maintain. Let others see you as less than perfect. If single, you will meet several very desirable suitors. Use care with new people. If attached, the relationship will benefit from spending more time together, socializing or as a couple alone. Aquarius makes you smile. A baby born today is a Sun in Gemini and a Moon in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You have an upbeat, personal and unique style that singles you out. Your clarity encourages people to follow your lead.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • Take a stand, but do it gracefully. How you tell someone that you don’t agree with him or her can define how willing this person is to work with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Linking minds and exchanging ideas could be difficult. Normally this type of brainstorming isn’t, but your mind is so out there, as concepts and ideas fly in and out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Your ability to home in on the real issues with someone you care about adds to the warmth of the bond.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Many people try to tell you what to do, even though they might have never been in your position. Perhaps letting them live out a part of your life and being as responsible as you could help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Maintain a high profile. Your way of handling projects, daily demands and maybe even work testifies to your efficiency. You will get a lot done quickly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Your ability to home in on what counts (especially with loved ones and special friends) is why you are considered such a thoughtful sign.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • You might want to stay close to home or work from home. By all means, do. You might be exhausted from the past few weeks. Take a personal day if you must.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Continue to speak your mind and clear out a problem before it happens. Be sensitive to the other point of view.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Stay centered on the emotional and financial costs of a suggestion. If you still would like to nix an idea, do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Stop and think about how you feel. You might be surprised by how good you feel. With this information in hand, be willing to take a risk you have been considering.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Keep your own counsel. Someone who notices you could start teasing you, trying to pull out what you might be withholding.
