For Friday, May 11

Those with birthdays today: The status quo changes. What happens this year involving partners and key friends often could be extreme or surprising, but not necessarily bad. Learn to give up Taurean stubbornness, and flex. Money proves to be a wild card. Risk with care, as what occurs easily could be over the top. Friends play a large role in making what you want a reality. If you are single, you will meet people with ease. A friendship will play a large role in meeting that special someone. If you are attached, work on more of your goals together, and you’ll become more unified. PISCES knows what makes you happy, but ARIES pushes you to take action.
