Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 26, 2011: This year, you open up and express a new vitality and strength. You might be hard to stop when focused on a goal or busy with friends. If single, friendship and romance will be closely tied in some fashion. If attached, remember that your sweetie is your friend too. Aries is your natural cheerleader.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • • You suddenly feel re-energized. Listen to your instincts when dealing with others. Some people find you unusually unpredictable of late. They will get used to it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Know that you are better off evaluating rather than acting. You might want to consider veering in a new direction. Right now, play out your options in your mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • You are full of fun and energy. Somehow you might have to break some patterns that others are vested in you following. You might need to head in another direction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Recognize what is happening behind the scenes with someone you care about. Listen to a higher-up, parent or authority figure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • Break precedence once more. What you come up with could be very exciting and unexpected. Consider a walk on the wild side – in your terms, mentally break past restrictive thinking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Work with a partner who suddenly becomes so proactive that you might not know how to handle this person. Go with the moment. You could be jolted by the outcome as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Defer to others without any expectations. Stay connected with some basic precepts and understand others’ expectations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Dive into your day-to-day life as if there is no tomorrow and there were no yesterday. Can you put yourself 100 percent into the moment? Recognize if you cannot stay present.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Your creativity and imagination are off the charts. Some people might find it difficult to grasp your fleeting ideas. Not everyone is on the same wavelength as you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Your ability to move past disruption on the home front could be important. On the other hand, you might want to toss yourself right into it. Instead of being mum, share.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • You might want to discuss a situation more openly. Your assumptions, though seemingly grounded to you, might not be when you get into a discussion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Curb a need to be possessive and touchy. No matter how you feel and what goes on, detach and at least make an attempt to take in the whole picture. You might want to try to walk in another person’s shoes.
