For Monday, May 19:

Your clarity and caring could make a difference to many this year. Often you will find that you are not on the popular side, but on the winning side. If you are single, meeting someone is not the problem; making the right choice could be. If you are attached, know that you both could be right. Kick black-and-white thinking out the door. Welcome a challenge from SCORPIO.

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)

¢¢¢ You have style and a distinct way of communicating. Your clarity might be tested. Extremes hit left and right when you least expect them. Tonight: Be a duo.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢ Others believe that you are wrong, and they let you know it. You can let someone know how off he or she is, or walk away from the situation. Tonight: Extricate yourself from messes.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢ You easily could feel like you’re caught between a rock and a hard place. Know your limits and understand that others could be overly demanding. Tonight: Relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ What you believed was a given is not, and you could be finding out otherwise. Listen to news that heads in your direction with a touch of cynicism. Tonight: Relax rather than react!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ You are coming from a logical point of view. Listen to different interests with care, knowing that you can stay centered and not change your mind. Tonight: Easy does it. Stay close to home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ You might be able to make sense out of the next few days, whereas other signs might not. You understand the duality and options that surround a situation. Tonight: All options still are present, even if you don’t think so.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢ Hold back. Create a money alert, at least for several days. Tonight: Continue walking a conservative path.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢ You might want to approach a situation differently. Be aware of how many people you could toss into confusion. Tonight: Make what you want happen.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢ Investigate and find answers. Your willingness to risk might be great, but you could be quite sorry if you do. Tonight: Mull over options.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ You might not be getting the whole story right now. You might later on. Tonight: Relax and enjoy a moment’s silliness.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ A take-charge attitude might not be best, as others are so reactive. You can decide to control yourself and your instincts. Tonight: Say yes to a must appearance.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your perspective might be sorely needed in an escalating situation. You might want to understand what is happening with others. Listen. Tonight: Amuse yourself with great music or surfing the Internet.
