For Monday, May 21

Those with birthdays today: This year, let your words embody your thoughts and feelings. Others will be unusually responsive to your evolving communication skills. You drive a hard bargain when you want something and won’t accept “no.” Often this focus can be irritating to others, especially as you can be one-sided at times. Friendships add to your life. If you are single, you might meet someone through your daily travels and/or a friend. He or she might be “the one.” If you are attached, your relationship will bloom if you focus more on each other. Schedule some old-fashioned dates. LEO knows how to energize you!
