Horoscopes

For Saturday, May 7

Those with birthdays today: You need to focus on others more often this year. You express unusual creativity and energy. The only negative here is a tendency to be a bit self-involved. You need to be aware of others. Though you are a source of brilliant ideas, others also might have suggestions. Bosses and those in charge could be overly idealistic. Be open to new ideas and different solutions, but add in Taurean practicality. If you are single, you could meet Mr. or Ms. Right, especially toward the end of your birthday year. If you are attached, remember that the relationship needs attention, as does your significant other. Watch out for another TAUREAN’S willfulness.

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)

  • Your expenses demand your attention. You might have made an error that could jeopardize a major purchase. Friends could mean well but only confuse the issue. Tonight: Your treat.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Friends surprise you with some unusual plans or ideas. Why don’t you go along for the ride? Your perception of someone who is important in your life could be distorted. Try being more realistic. Tonight: As you like it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Realize when you need to vanish. Sometimes others mean well but only confuse the issue. Plans involving an authority figure could radically change. Tonight: Cocoon, with or without a favorite person.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Focus on the majority rather than on individuals. Recognize when someone is yanking your chain. This behavior might not be intentional. Give him or her the benefit of the doubt. Tonight: Throw or go to a party.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Others make demands that you might not be up to meeting. Explain, but don’t expect everyone to be happy. Your perspective and personality are in demand. Tonight: In the limelight, whether you want to be or not.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Learning to take an overview could be important. Significant others act in a most unanticipated manner. Don’t react, if possible. Tonight: Take in a movie, concert or some other form of mind escape.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Extremes mark your interactions with others. You cannot always anticipate what will happen next — even you are prone to unexpected spontaneity. Tonight: Go along with another’s request.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • You cannot always dictate your terms. In fact, quite clearly, others are in control right now. Recognize your limitations. Right now, let someone close reveal his or her inner desires. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Celebrate the warmer days and spend some time outside. Think in terms of new possibilities, following the natural theme of spring. Tonight: What you thought was predictable might no longer be.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • You might have a sudden case of spring fever. Recognize what is happening with a neighbor or with someone you communicate with on a regular basis. Tonight: Be playful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Your sense of direction could be very important when dealing with those you really care about. Confusion marks the next few days. You only see what you want to see right now. Tonight: Entertain quietly.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * You could easily sabotage yourself. Stop and think before giving in to impulsiveness. Others often feed you information you want to hear. Be discerning rather than naive. Tonight: At a favorite spot.
