For Thursday, May 24

Those with birthdays today: This year, communicate your energy and spirit in a manner in which others can understand. Simplicity draws many more people and adds to your professional and personal success. Know when you have had enough, and be willing to walk away. You have an unusual opportunity to claim your power this year. People surround and support you. If you are single, meeting people could be a snap, but relating on a deeper level could be challenging. If you are attached, realize the importance of a lot of quality time at home. You might consider a purchase of a new home. VIRGO can be a downer.

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)

New beginnings are possible if you don’t go to extremes. Nix exaggeration, whether it comes from you or someone around you. Actions count. Get into a project. Tonight: Easy does it.

You mean what you say. Nevertheless, confusion surrounds plans, perhaps a long-term plan. Don’t try to reverse a situation. Rather, take in what is happening knowing time remains your ally. Tonight: Happy at home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might need to clarify and ask more questions. What is clear to you could be most confusing to a key associate. If you can’t shed light on an issue now, don’t worry – you have time. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Curb a need to spend until you get a better grasp on a situation; you might not be right or on target. A relationship could go topsy-turvy out of the blue. Do nothing for now. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

You might be on top of your game, but if you look around, others might not be. If you can pitch in and make someone’s day a little easier, do. Tonight: Just smile, and everyone relaxes.

For better or for worse, whatever decision or move you make falls apart. You might not understand what is happening. Isolate yourself from chaos. Observe rather than be a player. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Aim for more of what you want from a dubious situation. If you act clearly, then others might have a backdrop to work with in their confusion. Tension occurs within a partnership. Tonight: In the limelight.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Maintain a low profile rather than get caught up in a whirlwind of activity, confusion and misunderstanding. Gain a perspective through watching. Do what you must. Tonight: A must show.

Take the high road. Avoid getting caught up in problems that surround you. Investigate possibilities with a clear eye. Avoid any and all money dealings right now. Tonight: Rent a movie or listen to music.

Know when to back off. Though you absolutely might feel you are on the right track, you could be off. Give yourself time. Would you rather make a bad decision than do nothing? Tonight: Time out with a friend.

Others clearly want to dominate. Who are you to prevent them from doing what seems natural and important? What you might be working through in your mind might be based on a false premise. Tonight: Go out and enjoy a friend.*
