For Sunday, May 29, 2005. Those with birthdays today: Your community image and public commitments mark your year. You become a leader, and others respond accordingly. You know far more than you realize and have the unique ability to read between the lines, as well as ferret out information. Your creativity gives you an additional push, especially if you are in an artistic field. Expect growth, promotions and pay raises. Take good care of your health in the winter, as you might easily be overindulgent. If you are single, a new relationship could function as a muse. If you are attached, share more of your aspirations with your sweetie.

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)

Avoid putting yourself in contentious situations. Intensity and feelings dominate. Make no decisions just yet. In fact, you gain a whole new perspective by late afternoon, when new facts come forward. Tonight: Get extra R and R.

Read the Sunday paper. Make phone calls to relatives and friends at a distance. Others are delighted to hear from you. Confusion surrounds plans or an older relative. Resolve the situation rather than get embroiled. Tonight: Count on being available.

Sharing takes you down a new path. If you allow yourself to listen to others’ suggestions, you actually might find a situation much less difficult. Be willing to let go of some preconceived notions. A movie or a game of Scrabble helps your mind relax. Tonight: Let your imagination lead.

Someone has a special idea up his or her sleeve. Though you like being in control, you cannot always be in that position. Passion runs high. Remember that, ultimately, a loved one comes before a friend. Tonight: Enjoy the treat.

Someone close lets you know how much he or she values you. Let this person treat you to a special day, whether it is going to the movies or out for a hike. A statement might not be intended the way it comes off. Tonight: Slow down.

Though you might want to be more playful, you have a certain amount of to-dos to get done. Or could it be that you just want to read the Sunday paper in peace and quiet? Tonight: Give yourself permission to be lazy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You cannot be stopped. Your bountiful and generous personality emerges. Some see you as childlike. The truth is, you know how to have a good time. Be sensitive to others’ feelings. Misunderstandings brew. Tonight: Act like it is Friday night.

Indulge family. If alone, treat yourself, or the cat. You might need to work through some unusually intense feelings. As a result, your mind-set could totally change. Your feelings for someone help this transformation. Tonight: Make it easy.

Listen to a child or loved one who has a lot to share. In fact, you might wish this person would say less, but this catharsis might be necessary. A nurturing or loving action takes you far and helps another’s comfort level. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

You have been weighing the pros and cons of a major expenditure. You decide to go for it with a prod or two from a friend or loved one. You could be extravagant. Be sure you will not regret your actions later, OK? Tonight: Avoid a misunderstanding. Give another the benefit of the doubt.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are in your element, enjoying yourself to the max. Someone goes way overboard when sharing his or her feelings. You might be uncomfortable, while others simply love the attention. Don’t take a verbal display personally. Tonight: As the Fish likes.
