ARIES (March 21-April 19). Colleagues appreciate your contribution, but have a hard time expressing their gratitude. Your long-range view of finances is more important than today’s small deals, so don’t sweat if it’s not going your way. You’ll get a clean start.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your definition of success isn’t the same as a loved one’s, still, your accomplishment will impress him/her. Smile at someone who’s too preoccupied to smile back. By the end of the week, you’ll reap the fruits of your generosity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll make excellent progress on a pie-in-the-sky project. Your dreams can come true, but first you have to dare to dream them. A cancer drives you crazy – in a good way. You are tolerant, and family members admire your for it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The truth sets you free. Getting a straight answer isn’t easy for anyone, but it is for you. Also, it’s a good to reconcile accounts, make smart adjustments to your checkbook or sign up for on-line banking. Be cautious while doing so.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone who takes delight in you is worthy of an invitation. Planning the perfect date makes you nervous, but you won’t go wrong with the favorite picks in the "Calendar" section of the paper. Being in crowed is lucky, even small ones.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 30). It’s a year when you excel where others (maybe even you!) have failed in the past. Finish testing the waters now so you can fully jump into a project within the next three weeks. Financially, you can have more than you dreamed, but you must begin to embrace a change by August. A Libra of Pisces has plenty of love and affection for you. You’ll travel in September. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 22, 19, 3 and 49.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Close the chapter on an old situation, and a new level of freedom and energy will take hold of you. A relative is "right" and won’t let you forget it anytime soon. Long, intense discussions tonight are rewarding nonetheless.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Embark on a new money-making adventure in the morning. A recent relocation will help your social life. Discovering you’re not the only one who likes a certain someone could trigger passion. A Taurus figures prominently in your chart.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As long as you keep a secret, you’ll never have to feel guilty about divulging it. Friends with expensive tastes may encourage you to spend beyond your means. Wealth is attracted to those who don’t need to impress.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Agility is one of your many talents, and you bounce back from a bruised ego faster than anyone. Your rewards at work include getting the respect you finally deserve. Buy a gift, and handle social niceties for the whole family.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Taking on more than what’s assigned to you could start a negative trend where others feel free to dump their responsibilities on you. Have fund drawing the line. Cooking foreign foods with friends is particularly delicious and fun tonight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You now how to sell your idea, but you may have to cater your pitch to the one who’s going to be making a big investment in it. Your devil-may-care attitude attracts an admirer. Solve a puzzle to strengthen your intellect.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Be bold enough to introduce yourself to someone powerful. Your background counts, even if you think it pales next to someone else’s pedigree. Romantic success with a Taurus can be attributed to your good taste.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My Libra husband can always persuade me to back out of an argument or accept something different than what I set out to get. I want to get my own way, and why shouldn’t I? I’m a determined Aries. Will I ever get my turn?"
Compromise is always difficult for an Aries to swallow. But you are capable of seeing it as the best means to clear the decks for future action. You may be counting each compromise you make for your husband as payment for the future when everything goes exactly to your specifications. Your husband, on the other hand, is happy to meet you halfway, and does not feel that this means he owes you the other half further down the road. In fact, he owes you nothing more than to come to an agreement. Your job is to stop thinking in terms of all or nothing. Remind yourself that this point of view always leads to nothing. Time shows you the legitimacy of the other person’s position, particularly in romantic squabbles that take a bit of waiting before the dust settles. You will often come out ahead by agreeing to meet your husband halfway, or even when you give in completely sometimes!
