For Friday, May 12

Those with birthdays today: You often find yourself questioning how much you want to give. Consider what is reasonable and what you can handle. You often toss ideas right into the circle, while others toss feelings and energy into the mix. Instead of vying against different people, learn to work with opposite or different dynamics. What you want could drop in your lap most unexpectedly. If you are single, a friendship could turn into more if you let it. In any case, romance will be heading down your path. If you are attached, learn to respect your differences rather than fight about them. SCORPIO often plays devil’s advocate.

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)

Don’t be surprised if you are a bit stretched financially. You also might “need” to spend some money for your own well-being. A meeting could test your patience. Tonight: Head for the hills!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The upcoming Full Moon in your sign provides reason for discussions, but also optimism if you can take criticism well. Think before you leap into action. Tonight: Let someone else express his or her feelings.

You could feel burdened. The good news is that you have the necessary energy to complete a project. Information from someone “in the know” might not be 100 percent accurate. Tonight: Easy does it.

You might want to work through a problem or get past a hassle or issue. A child or loved one cannot get enough of your attention. Your laughter helps others back off their position and ease up. Tonight: Frisky, aren’t we?

You might want to veer in a different direction, but certain situations demand your full attention. Stay centered and avoid being reactive. Tonight: Know that you aren’t getting the whole story.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Aim for more of what you want. You easily might feel overwhelmed by all the ground you need to cover. You have what it takes, though your mind could work overtime. Tonight: Busy, busy, busy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might want to take charge of your finances before your checkbook goes in the red. Others might tell you what they want, but be realistic with how much you can do. Tonight: Pay attention to the bill.

You might want to share more and be all smiles. You could be tired from dealing with what others want and demand from you. Claim your power and say no if need be. Tonight: As you wish.

Knowing when to call a halt to the present trend could be important. Yes, you are on overload. Please, do not put anything else on your plate. You have enough to juggle. Tonight: Say yes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keeping your eye on the big picture could make a big difference in the outcome of a problem. Messages could be distracting. Someone may expect more from you than you want to spend or give. Tonight: Happy with people.

You cannot shirk your responsibilities, though you might want to. Someone might be pushing all your buttons. Also, you might not be hearing the whole story. Try to listen. Tonight: A must appearance.

Your unpredictability could trigger a lot of questions and encourage a different approach. You know what you want, though getting there might take detaching rather than demanding. Tonight: Try a new place or a different type of happening.
