For Wednesday, May 16

Those with birthdays today: This year, live your life with intensity and determination. Manifest creativity and have the courage to express it. Work on your listening skills, and you will be much happier with your relationships. Often, you run into people in authority who seem to be confusing yet idealistic. Make it your job to put practical steps into their plans. If you are single, many find you extremely attractive. Who you choose for your sweetie might be someone quite different than if you wait until winter. If you are attached, try not to be the main focus. Share more. GEMINI might have unlimited ideas for using your funds!

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)

¢¢¢ What you want might seem out of your reach. You cannot bring different ends together and have them work. Decide on your personal priorities. Tonight: A call might keep you up late. If you care, turn off the ringer.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢ You are strong and directed. You can handle a little confusion or someone dumping responsibilities on you. You’ll make important decisions about your needs and goals. Tonight: If you can, get in early.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢ Know when not to make plans or finalize an agreement. Today a haze might surround your thinking. Tomorrow is another day, especially in your case. Tonight: Nap and then decide.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Use today as if there is no tomorrow. Look at each person as if you might never see him or her again. Renew your energy through gratitude and awareness. Tonight: Time for friends.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ The spotlight is on you. You not only get the kudos but also might get blamed if there is a snafu. Someone you care about might be weaving a deceptive haze around you. Be a touch cynical. Tonight: Now, for the good times.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Charge your creativity through conversations and detachment. Try to loosen the limits that you impose upon your mind and seeing events only through your eyes. Tonight: Allow your imagination to lead.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢ Someone you care about cannot be everything you would like him or her to be. Avoid risking right now, as a backfire might happen too easily. A key partnership enhances your life. Tonight: One-on-one time.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Others might seem to be overly sure of themselves. Don’t poke holes in their armor, trying to sprinkle some realism. Let events occur. Tonight: Go along for the ride, even if you are sure it is the world’s highest roller coaster!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢ Your choices might feel limited, especially as you would like to expand, be more creative and perhaps follow a path to a dream. Put that idea on the back burner. Tonight: Choose a favorite tension-breaker.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ When a problem arises, you will have the Band-Aid ready. You have what it takes to handle interpersonal relationships. Your smile opens doors and allows many to relax and trust you. Tonight: A midweek romp.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ Know when to back off. Your vision does not connect with what is happening. You might be choosing to see events in this haze, adding to your problems. Decide to be more practical. Tonight: Order in.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ You have a lot to say, but somehow there is a loophole in your thinking. Easily, though, you still could decide that you are 100 percent right-on. New beginnings become possible. Tonight: Out on the merry-go-round of life.
