For Friday, May 30, 2003. Those with birthdays today: You have a way of making the best out of difficult situations. Loosen up and make firm decisions. You might not always be comfortable with what comes up. If single, you’ll find that you have many admirers. Many of you will network your way into a new circle of friends and a new relationship. If attached, you will grow in new ways together. Sometimes your sweetie might find you too me-oriented. Work on your listening skills. Gemini understands.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

• You’re a live wire, as are your friends. Get in weekend mode. You might not be sure about a friendship, but pressuring this person won’t help. Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite people.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

• Just when you thought you were in the clear, a boss stages a major switch. Instead of wondering what gives, stay open and centered. Tonight: Your treat.

• You beam; others respond. Think through a change more carefully that involves someone at a distance. Tonight: Be yourself. Be a wild thing.

• Take your time, especially if you don’t feel up to snuff. You might want to think through a decision more carefully that involves a partnership. This person could be unusually erratic. Tonight: Take a timeout.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

• You accomplish more than you thought possible and feel as if anything is possible. If someone acts up, so be it. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

• If you lean back, you’ll suddenly realize just how much you need to accomplish, whether you want to do it or not. Dig right in if you have any hope for a fun, rewarding weekend. Tonight: Be creative.

• You might not have the control you need or want right now. A child or loved one acts up in an unanticipated manner. You can only contain someone up to a certain point. Tonight: Split as fast as you can.

• A partner has an odd way of testing your limits. You know what you want, but can you convince someone else without turning yourself inside out? Tonight: Go along with another’s request.

• Defer to others and see what might be put on your plate. Others will reveal much more than you think. Go with the flow, carefully seeking answers. Tonight: Accept a wild invitation.

• Though others charge through their work, you get more done than you originally anticipated. You complete what others don’t. No wonder you have the reputation as the workhorse of the zodiac. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

• Your unpredictability has a way of triggering others around you. Think in terms of gaining and moving forward. A loved one might feel a bit intimidated by your behavior. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.

• You could be confused by a family member. Perhaps you might not want to see something and would prefer to look in another direction. Be open with this person. Tonight: Buy a new CD on the way home.
