Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 3, 2012: This year people often act in the most unpredictable manner. You’ll wonder why. Power plays abound. Learn to detach far more frequently and rise above situations. If single, you could meet an interesting cast of people. If attached, you discover newfound ground on which to relate to each other, if you pull out of control games. Libra understands your underlying gentleness. He or she honors your feelings. A baby born today has a sun in Taurus and a moon in Libra.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • You might react and simply not care, leaving others wondering what has happened. At this point, you march to the beat of a different drummer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Look around at your immediate circle. You might see some strange behavior emerging. Your caring will make a big difference to a child or loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Go with the unexpected, even if you are not sure where it is going to land you. Pressure builds, as you feel you should go along with someone’s suggestion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Stay close to home, if possible. The unexpected will occur when you are out. Authority figures do exactly what is not expected.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • Listen to news that is forthcoming. Understand that, although you do not want to, you might have to deal with situations involving power plays.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • A partner or associate might act in an irresponsible manner. You might not like what is going down. Pressure builds with a new friend, loved one or child.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • What many people would call shocking, you’ll handle with comparative ease. Isolate a controlling situation; you might want to stop feeding its dynamics.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • Take your time when responding to a surprise. You also easily could misread a situation, making more out of it than initially was intended.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Meetings could bring surprising results. If you sit back and give it some thought, the outcome could be most beneficial.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Take a stand if you must. Others might think you are unusually controlling or overly dominant. What they don’t realize is that that is you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Listen to a suggestion more openly. Your inner voice could be already judging and making decisions. Push that voice away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • You have a strong sense of direction right now. A meeting or get-together could be canceled and might force you and others to find a more direct line of communication.
