For Sunday, May 10:

Deal with others directly this year, and you’ll often find there is a connection or a strong common ground. Misunderstandings could hatch out of nowhere, especially involving funds. Details, clarity and confirming that others are on the same page will be pivotal this year. If you are single, you will want a partnership with depth and caring, even more than in the past. From January 2010 on, this becomes a distinct possibility. Romance is delightful, especially all the flirting! If you are attached, refuse to quarrel; instead, find a solution. Lose the blame game, for both your sakes. Sagittarius brings out the best and the worst in you.

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 might have some last-minute confusion, especially if you’re planning to take off. Others might not have listened well, or vice versa. Confirm plans. Flip through issues, and don’t get overwhelmed. Trust that this too will pass. Tonight: Remain imaginative.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• A partner wants to dominate. Though you might believe this person means this or that, you discover later on that what you thought is off. Keep communication open. Let go of feelings instead of holding on to them. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Others could be challenging, but this is your perspective. People might just miss you and your company. A friendship could be blooming into something else. You might not think so, but time will tell. Tonight: Forget that you have to work tomorrow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••• Knowing when to cut all the must-dos today and get some R and R could define just how successful next week is. Attempting to iron out a misunderstanding might not work. Try letting it go for now. A must appearance seems inevitable. Tonight: Easy does it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••••• You might be wondering exactly what is needed to honor or change a situation. Dial up your imagination and tune in to what you never thought of. Be open. Be impulsive. Listen to others like you but with different ideas. Tonight: Just be yourself and indulge different friends and loved ones.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• Tension builds around the home front and your perceptions. What you thought was a great idea might be, but convincing others just might not happen for a while. Listen to feedback from a family member, dear friend or loved one. Tonight: Time is your ally. Lie low.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• You will say what is on your mind, though perhaps very diplomatically. Understanding will grow if you are open to feedback. Confusion surrounds plans and communication. Knowing that, you could wind up laughing rather than being upset. Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite people.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••• You might be primed for a special event. Know that you don’t need to go on a great spending spree to make it happen. Stop and reconsider your path. Could there be an easier way to go? Must the Scorpio always be so hard on himself? Tonight: Your treat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••••• Know that you are in a good place, and even if everyone doesn’t understand where you are coming from, smile. You don’t have to have a consensus and have everyone agree with you. Know that. Understand that. Romance for the young at heart flourishes. Tonight: What would knock your socks off? Then do it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Use your instincts to handle a personal matter, and you’ll come out on top. Better yet, both parties could come out on top. Be aware of what you have to offer. A family member could rapidly change his or her tune. Is it the attention you have been giving this person that helps him or her move in your direction? Tonight: Don’t be accountable.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• Emphasize friendship, and you will be on cruise control. No one wants to hear anything heavy, thus you don’t want to say anything heavy. Just the same, note the intensity between you and another person. Tonight: Where the action is. Where else?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••• A must appearance seems inevitable — even worse, it could involve work. Snarl, growl or go bah-humbug. You cannot change this one, though you might wish it to be canceled! Look at the positives of being this visible. Turn the experience around. Tonight: Others follow your lead.
