For Sunday, May 13, 2007:

Frequently this year you might feel the need to retreat and think. This process evolves into one of your strong habits. Often how you see a situation afterward will be different. Learn through detaching. A partner often could be touchy or difficult.

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)

¢¢¢¢¢ Sniff the air. Look around. You’ll feel the difference. After recent hassles, you feel good, empowered and ready to live life to the utmost. Honor who you are and what you want. Draw those special, cared about people. Tonight: What would make you smile? Do just that.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ Though you might feel less pressured, you could feel a bit taken aback or blue. Listen to your inner voice. Do you need a timeout or a day away from it all? Make plans that suit your needs. Don’t worry about others right now. Tonight: Vanish happily.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Zero in on what you want. Surround yourself with the people you choose. Toss “appropriate” away, for at least a day! Join friends. Go to a ballgame or get into some other favorite pastime. Tonight: The party could go on and on.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢ Assume control and create your desires. You might invite others over or bring family together for a great movie and a fun meal later. Socialize as much as you want, but know that you are pivotal. Tonight: Could be late.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your mind wanders. Let your imagination play a strong role in plans. Some of you might take off for the day, while others might escape to a concert or movie. Whatever you choose to do has extra pizzazz and spirit. Tonight: Don’t hold back.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Work with a loved one. This person needs to have plans stem from him- or herself. His or her ideas need more attention, and sometimes he or she feels last on the totem pole. You have a great deal more power and impact than you realize. Tonight: Just go along for the ride.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Often you see life differently from others. Walk in another’s footsteps and understand where this person is coming from. Your additional empathy could make you feel very different. Listen more; judge less. Tonight: The social butterfly.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢ Know when you need to retreat and get away from others. If you want to invite someone along as you relax and play a more subdued role, do so. Indulge in a favorite hobby or pastime. The relaxation will do you a world of good. Tonight: As you like.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Let your hair down. Put on your sneakers. Go to the park and be a kid again. Better yet, take a child or favorite playmate with you. Let go of recent events, thoughts and judgments. Renew and recharge. Tonight: Fun and games.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢ Stick to the basics. Entertain from home and/or dote on a family member. Your intensity is most appreciated and savored. Rarely do you clear the decks for someone and make it “their day.” Do just that. Tonight: At home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ Catch up on calls. Reach out for people you haven’t heard from in a while. Delight greets your call. Know that others really care and want to hear from you. Breeze out the door for eats at a favorite spot and with a favorite person. Tonight: Keep flowing with others.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢ Play Ralph Nader before making any purchase, except maybe cereal. You have a tendency to go to extremes. Stop bucking an authority figure and trying to change this person. This path is not the way to transformation. Tonight: Pay bills.
