HAPPY BIRTHDAY for

Friday May 5, 2006:

Pressure often builds between your obligations and your personal desires and aspirations this year. Often, your personal life could conflict with your professional life. Think in terms of juggling different concerns with a bigger objective in mind. Knowing what you want ultimately out of life will help point you in the correct direction. Relationships in general work well. If you are single, someone special will enter your life. Will you have time to deal with him or her? Can you or will you fit this person into your busy life? If you are attached, integrating the many different facets of your life demands attention. You can do it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

nnnn Your financial savvy starts coming through for you. You might want to create a more realistic budget or handle a long-term desire in a different manner. Your effectiveness could be tested. Let your imagination rock and roll. Tonight: Romp your way into the weekend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

nnn With Mercury entering your sign, you become even more of an idea person than in the past. You have solutions. You will love brainstorming. A confusing situation surrounds you. Try to sort it out diplomatically. Tonight: Mosey on home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

nnnn You will tend to tell everything — which might be too much, under the circumstances. In the next few weeks, work on retaining more information and not just randomly sharing it. You will get better results. Tonight: Plans could change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

nnnn Eye your finances, keeping in mind your long-term goals and desires. Think positively about what you want and expect from someone. Approach this person knowing that he or she means well, even if he or she doesn’t show it. Tonight: Stick to your budget.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

nnnnn You are in the pink and see everything and everyone with that rosy hue. Remember, when reality sinks in, you are the one who puts others on their pedestals. You can blame disappointment only on your expectations and rose-coloured glasses. Tonight: Say yes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

nnn News might have you smiling, but at the same time, you might not feel ready to share what is on your mind. Knowing when to spill the beans certainly becomes an art form. Enjoy yourself, knowing good things are heading your way. Tonight: A mysterious smile goes a long way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

nnnnn Add fun and frolic to your plans. You have been serious long enough. It is time to relax and enjoy. Your happy ways help others relax and enjoy themselves. Join in with them, making the most of the moment. Money investments could be highlighted. Tonight: Lighten up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

nnn You might want to take your time with a request. Yes, you feel under pressure, because you are. Others expect an awful lot from you. Know when to pull back. Tonight: Honour your needs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

nnnn What is being presented is interesting at best. You might be able to decipher some gibberish that others cannot. Your instincts kick in and point you in the proper direction. Detach from tension and demands. Tonight: Take off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

nnnn Working with an individual partner draws the type of reactions you really want. Think positively about this relationship. Still, you don’t want to give up your power or concern about your personal funds. Tonight: Be a duo.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

nnnnn Confusion could surround emotional issues if you let it. Clear out and get to the bottom of an issue. You just might not understand what is going on with others right now. Give them space to reveal themselves. Tonight: just say yes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

nnn Your instincts play into the quality of your day. Not everyone has to see things as you would like. Let more lively and fun moments enter your daily life. Don’t make anything harder than it needs to be. Tonight: Get some exercise or relax in a favourite way.
