Stargazing
Horoscope for May 2008
By Dan Liebman
Colin Farrell (pictured above)
SIGN: Gemini
BORN: May 31, 1976
WHERE: Castleknock, Dublin, Ireland
Taurus
April 21 - May 22
You hear different versions of a pivotal event, and your big task is to separate fact from fiction. People express their feelings honestly, though not often tactfully. Painting or photography figures into work or hobbies. You gain the edge in late-month negotiations.
Gemini
May 23 - June 21
Your nurturing side is strong. You excel in a volunteer assignment, and your encouragement does wonders for a friend’s morale. Your schedule slows down, but it’s only a temporary reprieve. Take advantage of the lull.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
You move a step closer to reaching a professional goal. At the same time, you feel more relaxed among relatives who’ve been intimidating you. Expand your interests. Consider science or technology, though they’re not usually associated with your sign.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
Your fan base expands, with people drawn to your charismatic personality and honest approach. Just be selective in who you let into your inner circle. An embarrassing situation is unavoidable around the 20th. See it as a learning experience.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Routine work suddenly has an element of excitement, thanks to someone newly involved in the job. It’s time to break an uneasy silence with someone you deal with regularly.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
A little victory goes a long way when it comes to battles over turf. You win yours on or after the 15th. Don’t be so generous about picking up the bill — it’s time for others to pay their ways. Make plans for summer travel before the month slips by.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Resilience is your strong suit as you bounce back after a personal slump. Your work atmosphere improves after changes. Be wary of revealing information, even to friends.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
Make “less is more” your current mantra — in everything from putting in overtime to putting in a garden. Travel and education are twin themes. A trip with an educational angle is ideal. Don’t rush into a joint financial venture. Rely on research, not intuition.
Capricorn
December 23 - January 20
Being detail oriented can be a mixed blessing. Look at the big picture before making financial decisions. Pay attention to body language, not just words. You’re the epitome of style this month.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
People take you literally. Be cautious with expressions like “my home is yours.” After long negotiations, you reach a fair agreement. Small gestures give a friend a huge boost.
Pisces
February 20 - March 20
People are arranging to visit you this summer. Come up with advance excuses to apply as necessary. You’ll connect with a spiritual individual around the 19th. You’ll make a late-month choice between being popular and being your own person.
Aries
March 21 - April 20
May is for taking personal inventory. Review commitments and cut back where you can. Shed those rose-coloured glasses and see who’s been taking advantage of you. And quash rumours before they get out of control.
