For Sunday, May 7, 2006:

The single determining factor of this birthday year is that everything happens in extremes. The way you deal with others could change because of a more positive and upbeat attitude. Your imagination kicks in, allowing you to jump over problems and find solutions. Investigate new opportunities, and take sound risks.

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 want to play and enjoy yourself. Step one is being more nurturing to yourself. The unexpected runs rampant with your plans. Don’t let your nerves get the better of you. Family might be asking a lot. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢ Put on your favorite play clothes and go out and enjoy yourself. You really don’t get many opportunities to be carefree and frivolous. Make it OK to change plans. Calls, conversations and much fun surround you. Tonight: Ever playful.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢ Anchor in and take care of personal errands and projects. You finally might decide to make that purchase or expenditure. Do some price comparison, but don’t cause yourself a problem or make this purchase a nightmare. Tonight: At home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢ You’re happiest visiting with others. You could be overwhelmed by all that is going on. Everyone wants something from you right away, at the last minute. Pace yourself and squeeze in what you want. Tonight: Easy does it. Don’t make a big deal of anything.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢ Don’t stretch yourself too far or accept an invitation or suggestion that could later be difficult, as far as the ramifications. You might be surprised by a family member or someone in charge. Your family backs you. Tonight: Order in.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢ You are all smiles. Remember, you have the ability to make the sun shine in your life. Others are flaky and changeable. You will have to work on getting along with a male or a boisterous friend. You know what to do. Tonight: Order in.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢ Continue the low-key approach. Others might be fried and more difficult than usual. What a great time to play the recluse or do something you really want to do. Someone you need to deal with could become very demanding. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢ You might have a difficult time slowing down. Nobody says you need to. Get together with friends and use every moment for fun and leisure. Listen to someone you care about, even if you might be offended by his or her manner or words. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢ Use your vision of what can happen for inspiration. You might not realize how strong your ability to visualize is. Knowing when to call a spade a spade could make all the difference. Tonight: A must show.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢ Be willing to break patterns and head in a new direction. Your ability to adjust and flex is tested. News, calls and perhaps a visitor encourage you to do something other than what you have planned. Tonight: Try a new spot.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢ Let another dominate, and relax with the opportunity. As you get into the moment, let go of worries and concerns. Do nothing high-risk financially, or you could be in hot water. Worry less about what you have to do. Tonight: Love the one you are with.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢ No one says you have to do what everyone else does. You could be tired and overwhelmed by what is happening around you. Go in your own direction. Try something totally different. Ease up and don’t worry so much. Tonight: Let someone else do what he or she wants to do.
