Horoscopes: Tuesday, May 12

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Curiosity demands you take an issue one step
further. Your proactive ruler Mars sharpens the
senses and sets up a belief that anything is
possible. Solving problems is a talent you put
to good use.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You believe certain rules are meant to be broken.
Sadly others oppose your ideas and conflict
arises over protocol or integrity. There is no
malevolence in your actions, only a desire to
rebel against authority.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Despite greater demands on your time, progress is smooth. Extra
attention or bigger challenges bring out the best
in you and decisive action is your hallmark.
Promises made today must be faithfully kept.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A desire to prove your importance is today's
motivating force. You yearn to achieve the
standards others set and long for their tacit
approval. Retain an orderly environment,
structured timetable and tidy mind.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Affection is given and received freely. You
connect with kindred souls today and show support
for people who are oppressed or unenlightened.
Harmony and happier relationships are direct
results of your efforts.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If you hit a brick wall, back away immediately.
Events only fall into place when the timing is
right and your mind fully engaged. Forcing
situations or someone's hand is currently
counter-productive,

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Approval from others hits the right emotional
spot. Venus, the planet of harmony, helps you
garner support and respect, or regain the upper
hand. Your mellow mood attracts new people and
impresses old friends.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Detailed planning and production delivers the
goods. There are rewards in store but you must
be pedantic, back up ideas with research and
adopt a business-like approach. Refrain from
trying to please people.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Self-sacrifice is less of an effort today. Doing
things for others brings smiles to their faces
and gives you a deep sense of satisfaction at the
same time. The lunar energy renders you
intuitive.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You may take one step forward and two back but
the fluctuation is temporary. Progress remains
steady and patience brings its own rewards.
Observe what is going on around you and learn
some new tricks.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Clarify points of concern before committing to a
plan. You are on the brink of a breakthrough and
once loose ends are tied up, a new venture can
begin. Your communication skills are second to
none.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If you are snowed under, farm out tasks to a
trusted assistant. Your desire to soldier on is
admirable but misguided and mistakes may be made
during times of fatigue. Sharing the load saves
time.

YOUR DAY
Grand visions can be made real. Those who think
and act big are more likely to be winners in the
current creative environment. Try to avoid
letting people down when a better offer comes
along.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your independent streak is strong. New
opportunities are seized upon and inadvertent
mistakes are seen as stepping stones for future
success. Stale situations are happily left
behind in the year ahead.
