Horoscope: May 26

Aries (March 21-April 19): Know when to take a break. Sustained effort is tiring to your whole being — body and mind. Today is a good time to pause and relax.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The answer is to start in the here and now and do your best with the work that is in front of you. “The answer to what?” you ask. To everything, really, including the question of how you will get your heart’s desire.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): The accumulation of clutter happens daily, weekly, monthly. Tidy up again, but this time go deeper and handle some of the things on the very bottom of the list.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You will feel driven to improve yourself for no other reason but to become a better person.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): No, you don’t make your bed every single day of the year, but on the days you do, you feel better all around.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A gathering wind is sending new things your way, especially people and opportunities. Surrender to it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Creative people are your favorite people. The best part: You are one of them.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Stop wondering why you are where you are, and start thinking about where you want to go. You have always been self-determined.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An opportunity arises in a field where you have serious expertise. Have fun and make new friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The morning commute will give you much-needed alone time to process your thoughts.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your attitude is catching. You’ll cultivate yourself and, by extension, raise the bar for everyone around you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You can’t get someone out of your head. Invite him or her to go do something. The timing is perfect.

Today’s birthday (May 26): Your perspective is unique. Because of your history and the current location in space and time, you’ll come up with solutions that no one else could think up. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 6, 12, 49 and 3.
