Horoscope: May 12

Aries (March 21-April 19): If you don’t know enough about a situation, it is only human to rely on your powers of assumption. Be superhuman instead.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Stay on track. Go to bed early tonight. The earlier you wake up tomorrow the more you’ll accomplish by the end of the week.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Don’t wait for inspiration to strike. Instead, act on the best idea you have. Get in motion, and you’ll attract good fortune.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Record what’s going on around you in whatever manner you have available. Later, you’ll want to remember.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There’s something to be said for powering through a job, even when you’re tired, bored and completely “over it.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is a confrontation you simply must have in order to get to the next level of a project. You cannot avoid this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Wear your favorite clothes before you go out shopping. You’re likely to buy less when you realize that what you already have is better.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): To make sure someone follows your advice, you first find out what action they want to take and then advise them to take it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your best is not going to be the same from moment to moment. Always be kind to yourself. Never punish yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll get the job if you believe you’ll get the job. The same goes for getting the attention of the object of your affection.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s someone close to you who will support you and cheer you on endlessly and unconditionally.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Beliefs can be more addicting than substances. It is easy to get ensnarled in an unhelpful thought pattern. That’s why you must be vigilant about staying positive. Don’t even go there.

Today’s birthday (May 12): This year you’ll live larger than life. You make your mark at work in June. July brings a connection that enlivens your social scene — someone may even steal your heart. Vacations are dreamy in August. You share a special connection with Libra and Aquarius people. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 26, 36, 31 and 4.
