Horoscope: May 28

Aries (March 21-April 19): You will overhear something that affects a friend of yours. As long as you didn’t seek it out, the information is fair game.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You have made the most of your situation. You’ve found a way to maximize the good parts.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re almost there. Take a deep breath and stay on it for just a little while longer.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The wind is blowing in the direction you want to go. Today is a good day to take a chance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes it’s a relief to remember that no one is as concerned about your appearance as you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Now isn’t the time to back off. This opportunity won’t last forever. Furthermore, you’re going to have to show that you really want it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You have a fantasy about the way it’s going to be. This visualization will in fact be close to the way things ultimately turn out.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Every party has a shelf life. Get out before the use-by date has arrived.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Holding people’s attention will be a challenge. It has nothing to do with you. Follow your own interests, and don’t worry about the others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today, approach your life as though it were a team sport. The interplay and interdependence keep it exciting.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be brief and you’ll be heard. A three-second sound bite will get your message across better than a three-minute presentation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be mixing and mingling with old and new faces. Long-lost friends were probably lost for a reason. Still, it’s nice to catch up.

Today’s birthday (May 28): Like a skilled artisan, you create fascinating, stylized scenes in this, your life’s masterpiece. Being somewhat picky is a plus. Refuse to be swayed or controlled by anyone around you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 5, 13, 7 and 18.
