HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, May 20, 2022. We’ll need to pay attention to the facts and figures today as Gemini season begins and Mercury retrograde continues. Gemini is a sign that encourages us to stay abreast of important topics and conversations, as well as put our brainpower and critical thinking skills to good use. Meanwhile, this mercurial sign also reminds us just how funny, flirty, and fascinating life can be. With the weekend practically here, it’s a good day for doing something interesting or entertaining with friends. It’s also a great time for revisiting hobbies or interests that we’ve enjoyed in the past.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) — You’re back on track with a plan or project now that you’re able to see it in a new light and can take a different approach. Clarity feels good.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) — The timing is perfect for reopening talks about salary or benefits. On another note, if you’re experiencing a lack of fulfillment, you’re encouraged to explore why.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) — Your own personal new year has arrived. Could it be time to recapture a dream or adopt a new outlook? The signs say yes!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) — It seems like something awesome is falling into place or coming together for you. Try not to second-guess or overthink it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) — Reuniting with an old friend is like a ray of sunshine today. Go ahead and reach out.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) — Your attention to detail helps you succeed. However, being flexible or resourceful in the face of a challenge helps too.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) — If you’re hoping to travel or get out and about, have a few backup options at the ready. Visiting one of your favourite places is reinvigorating.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — If the laundry or clutter has been piling up, you’ll be moved to tackle it today. Getting rid of junk or stuff you no longer want feels refreshing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) — It’s a good time for renegotiating a contract or revisiting a discussion that’s been on hold. Stay positive; the outcome looks good.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) — You’re in the mood to make a few updates to your living space. You might score some decorative treasures at an antique shop or vintage store.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) — If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired, that could change today. Your creative juices are flowing again.

PISCES (Feb 19 to March 20) — Taking time to declutter and organise your space brings you peace of mind. A heart-to-heart with a family member could be comforting too.
