For Monday, May 14

Those with birthdays today: Use your wisdom to enrich your life through positive choices. Your ability to turn a situation around frequently unfurls this year. Understand the importance of planning, researching and finding an expert. Pushing others will not work, even if you are forceful. If you are single, someone you think is OK and on the up-and-up might not be. Use your discretion getting to know new people. If you are attached, plan time alone together. As a couple, you need these quiet periods to bond. TAURUS understands you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢ Absorb information. If you feel that what you are hearing is off, do your own research. A partner or close associate reveals much more than you even thought he or she knew! Tonight: Take a deep breath of fresh air, then decide.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ Meetings add to your success. Use your interpersonal skills. Mobilize your talents and energy. Expand your horizons. As social as you are, this task could be easy. Tonight: Slow down and relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢ Others want you to shoulder the responsibility. Be absolutely sure that is what you want. If not, step back and discuss what you can handle. Tonight: Find a pal. Together you’ll have a great time.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Though taming your mind could be difficult, try to funnel your thoughts into a creative, fulfilling issue. Make calls; investigate what might be a very exciting option that could impact your life. Tonight: Could be a late night.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ A partner might stir the pot. Back off and understand the ramifications as pieces tumble into place. You’ll gain an understanding of just how insightful this person might be. Tonight: Choose a movie. Kick back.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Others want to claim their power. Let them, because this attitude could make for less work for you. If you aren’t content with something or someone, wait until you have a talk before making a judgment. Tonight: Chat with a dear friend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Plunge into work with the attitude that there is no tomorrow. Others will help clear the way. A boss or someone older could be difficult. Accept what you cannot change. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Use your imagination constructively. Your mind goes wild at every comment. Learn to focus this strength where you need some creativity. Tonight: Finish up what you didn’t do previously!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢ True to form, you will want to verify, think and discuss a strategy for greater financial security. Yes, you might want to run the show, but don’t put the cart before the horse. Tonight: Let go of serious; welcome frivolous fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ Spontaneously, you head in the right direction – mentally and possibly physically. Someone who can be tight or overly serious could loosen up if you choose the right words. Tonight: Your home is your castle!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢ Rein in your expenses, and you will be much happier. Allow greater creativity to solve a problem, but before you take action, find someone you trust with whom to brainstorm. Discussions might be animated and not heading in the direction you choose. Tonight: Talk up a storm.
