For Wednesday, May 23:

You have a gift for effortlessly making friends this year. As a result, many of your long-term dreams could become realities. If you are single, you’ll meet several potential suitors and will have difficulty selecting. If you are attached, don’t fight over money — get separate checking accounts.

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)

•••• Sometimes even the best of intentions go haywire, making you wonder what your role in this mess was. At this point in time, you might have a very controlling boss or friend. Tonight: Happily head home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• Communication runs amok, as someone might not do or say what you feel is needed in a certain circumstance. Clearly, someone you are dealing with wants to have things his or her way. Tonight: Visit with pals.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••• Your vision and another person’s vision of what works might be in direct opposition. Choose not to make it an issue, and distance yourself appropriately. Tonight: Buy a new item for summer.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• You might feel that you are in an either-or situation. Don’t take others’ comments personally. Tonight: What you want to do.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• You might choose to distance yourself some from all the goings-on around you. You feel as if someone is pushing too hard to have his or her way. Tonight: Take a personal night.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You will need to focus, as many people might attempt to distract you. Could an argument be building with a child or loved one? Tonight: Among friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Tension builds, as a respected elder, boss or parent demands that certain matters be done his or her way. Push easily comes to shove. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• You might want to rethink a personal situation. Talk to someone with more experience in such matters who is not involved. Tonight: Take in a different vision.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• Deal with each person individually, even if this isn’t the norm for you. Relating directly helps you establish needed boundaries. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• You might want to rethink a personal issue rather than keep pushing to have your way. You might not realize how you are coming off. Tonight: Why not allow someone else to make the first move and choose the plans?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• You are concerned about finishing up an errand or completing a project. Your mind is elsewhere; therefore, you could cause yourself a problem. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Your imagination takes over. Even when someone tries to be controlling, your sense of humor makes it close to impossible to take this person seriously. Tonight: Let the romantic in you out.
