TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 12). The next seven weeks empower you. You’ll take control of the flow of events, and the outcome will be different from what anyone would have predicted and exactly the way you want things to be. A work project will pay you well in July. August is your chance to be the star of the show. September brings new friends. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 22, 40 and 16.
Wrong Is Right Trine. Humans like to be right. Maybe it’s because our complex brains grasp the magnitude of the universe beyond what is understood by other earthly species. Realizing that so much is out of our control, some degree of certainty is required in order to function. Mercury trine Mars asks, “What if you’re wrong?” It’s fine! There is peace in this.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want to be the shaper, but you don’t need to be. At times like this, it is better to be the one who is shaped. Let the situation teach you and mold you. There are good influences around you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your conversations will be more complex and layered than they seem. You may not realize that you are looking for a certain outcome until you get a different one. Try to roll with the surprises.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The more distance you put between yourself and the thing that is robbing you of your peace, the better. You’re not running away so much as running toward your center.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You consider yourself to be a citizen of the world, and excellent manners are your passport. The civility you apply in today’s dealings will command attention and inspire reciprocity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You radiate a feeling of acceptance and inclusion. No wonder you’re so popular. You praise and encourage authenticity, and so people feel free to be themselves around you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want to make a change. Do not sell anything in haste. Do your research. Wait to get the best price. Your nonchalant attitude will attract the right buyer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It can take tremendous effort to establish a new behavior, but once your brain is trained, all the hard work is done. Now you are starting to enjoy the benefits of your new habit.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll make adjustments to your personal space that turn it into a kind of cocoon for learning, doing and being the person you want to be. These changes will not be expensive at all.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re both clever and even-tempered. Setting your own agenda aside, you will solve a problem, smooth over a situation and help everyone have a better day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you get out your wallet, consider that luxurious things can also be free things. You’ll enjoy an exchange of finery that comes in the form of words or beautiful gestures.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll think of many ways to improve your work situation. Keep the brainstorming process separate from the planning process. This is how you’ll avoid becoming overwhelmed.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are quite observant, and this will serve you well today. You’ll read the small changes in a loved one’s behavior and easily figure out what it all means.
