Horoscopes

For Friday, May 13

Those with birthdays today: You find that communication is key to your success this year. You cannot skip around problems or ignore people and situations. You might try, but this behavior will ultimately backfire. Often, you could find yourself depressed because you try to ignore uncomfortable situations or feelings. Open up and discuss your feelings. Your ability to get the job done, whether you are a housewife or retiree, comes out. If you are single, new people will drop into your life during the fall. In the period that follows, you are likely to meet someone significant to your life’s history. If you are attached, share and talk more deeply. You will see the results faster than you think. CANCER can be hard on you.
