HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, May 25, 2018: This year you find that your relationships work better because you feel more connected to others. You will smile more and more as the year progresses. You are unusually creative and dynamic during the next 12 months. If you are single, many people see you as highly desirable. Potential suitors seem to surround you. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy working as a team. Many light and happy moments occur between you and your sweetie. LIBRA teaches you how to relate to others with more gentleness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Opportunities seem to come in from every direction. In a conversation with a close friend or loved one, you are likely to get tripped up by some surprising news. Hopefully you can gracefully change the topic. Learn how to say “no” more often. Tonight: In the limelight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might want to clear your desk and start the weekend early. A little self-discipline will make the next few days much more rewarding. Do not fight a quickly changing situation. Understand what is happening with a co-worker or dear friend. Tonight: Accept a fun invitation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your playfulness takes you into some strange situations. You could end up somewhere you never would have dreamed you’d be. Open up to new possibilities and maintain a sense of humour; you will be a lot happier if you do. Tonight: Start the weekend on the right note.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might feel the need to stay hush-hush for some reason. You can’t share everything in your life, nor do you want to. Move forward with the knowledge that everything will work out. A loved one will let you know how much he or she enjoys being around you. Tonight: Out late.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): Be more forthright in your dealings. You have a way of dealing with others that often surprises them. Be willing to express your thoughts without worrying about someone else’s reaction. You might need to reorganise your schedule. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): Curb a tendency to try to organise others and their plans. Be more imaginative than you have been in the recent past. Someone who rarely speaks his or her mind suddenly becomes more verbal. Try to get to know this person better. Tonight: Join friends for dinner and a movie.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): You suddenly see your life from a different perspective. As a result, you might be open to a lifestyle change. Your sense of humor opens up as you exchange funny thoughts with someone else. Tonight: Get ready for an unforgettable night.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): Your vision of what is possible opens many new doors for you. You could be questioning why you are heading in a certain direction. Remain centred and positive and you’ll feel better. Carefully consider an invitation from a new friend. Tonight: Let mystery swirl around you!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Aim for more of what you want and/or need. You could be in a predicament in which you feel you must make a choice. Tap into your imagination, then decide what you want. Examine your needs more often and be willing to go for them. Tonight: Be where there is good music.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Pace yourself and be willing to adjust plans if need be. You have the ability to cruise through work more easily than many other people.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Look beyond the obvious. Listen to someone who has a very open and dynamic perspective. You might be surprised by how differently this person views certain situations. Try to observe more and talk less. Relax with the moment. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): You could be tired from some dynamic or exciting days. How you deal with others could have a note of shortness or fatigue. Listen to what is happening between you and a loved one. This person’s communication style might be different from yours. Tonight: Among the crowds.
