HAPPY BIRTHDAY for

Tuesday, May 23, 2006:

Your creativity helps you visualize and create more of your fondest desires this year. The only problem that remains is that you don’t always consider the financial ramifications of your “great” ideas. Often, you could find yourself in the hole because of one of these schemes. A little conservative action could be very helpful in the long run. If you are single, friendship is the key to meeting someone. You could meet someone through a friend, or friendship is woven into the relationship. Look for this event to happen close to winter. If you are attached, be more nurturing to your sweetie, and you will quickly see the results. ARIES can push you to do what is best for everyone concerned.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

nnnn Pressure builds when you least expect it. Investigate alternate possibilities that surround a personal or domestic issue. Right now is not the time to invest in property. Do what you are good at — getting others motivated. Tonight: What makes you smile.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

nn Take your time gathering information. Your ability to make situations work when others cannot emerges. Listen to your instincts about a situation that could be uncomfortable. Don’t get into a no-win argument. Tonight: Keep a secret or your opinion under wraps.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

nnn You could be nodding your head at what someone thinks is a good deal. It might not be if you look at the hard facts or your finances. Examine your needs more carefully and don’t say yes just to make a situation easier. Tonight: Find your friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

nn Temper, temper! You might feel that what you are doing is justified — which it may or may not be. Pull back and look at the hard facts, not the facts coloured by what you want. Examine possibilities rather than get into an either-or situation. Tonight: Others are looking at how you handle a hot situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

nnnnn Reach out for someone at a distance. Feedback could be rather hot or difficult. Read between the lines and get to the bottom of a problem. Don’t settle until you have reached a comfortable conclusion. Tonight: Relax your mind. Try Scrabble.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

nnn Relate to others as if there is no one else in the room or on your mind. That ability could help bring forward an issue that is hard to deal with. Investigate another’s opinions, but don’t negate them. Tonight: Be a duo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

nnnn Others seek you out, though you might lose your temper or do something different. You might come off a bit more aggressive than you realize. Your ability to understand and read between the lines comes out. Tonight: A must appearance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

nnnn Work with others on a more intense or direct basis. Investigate your alternatives with an eye to letting go of something that no longer works for you. Be optimistic and open to different thinking. Tonight: Focus on efficiency.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

nnnnn Work with others more directly than in the past. You find that even if someone loses his temper, you can rush in and put out the fire. Work with someone and let him or her open up doors. Passion runs high. Tonight: Follow the sparks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

nnnnn Defer to others and get down to basics. Home and family become an even higher priority. Think about your long-term desires regarding a personal or domestic matter. Tonight: Happy at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

nnnn Even the best chosen words could backfire when you least expect it. You might want to talk rather than deal with a problem. Understand more of what motivates an associate. Could you be a touch argumentative? Tonight: Relax with a pal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

nnn A risk could really cost you a lot more than you realize. Handle your finances with additional caution and care. Understand what is too much and what is not enough. Carefully check out a risk. Tonight: Your treat.[[In-content Ad]]
