Mercury and Venus align in the twin sign, too, followed by more air sign harmony from the sun and Saturn. Group proceedings are incredibly smooth and culminate in brilliant, fair decisions. All feel heard and will galvanize, marching forward in the spirit of common interest and camaraderie. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to compete to win; rather, the winning move is an assist to others, whether or not you consider them to be on your team. Helping the other players helps you even more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s no such thing as being too practical right now. If it works, then it works. Keep building in these small ways and, suddenly, you are miles up from where you were. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have assumed that you liked certain activities because, after all, you were doing them. But how did you get there? Very influential circumstances and expectations. Now you have awareness and a choice. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Certain ideas stir up uncomfortable feelings of insecurity -- an efficient phenomenon you can get excited about, because it brings you to the precise thing you can work on to get strong. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Good relationships can’t be totally controlled. Good relationships involve people who will thrill and excite, challenge and upset you unpredictably. Let go of the controls (they won’t work anyway) and see what happens. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will very successfully mediate between your needs and those of the group. You may turn to rules, rituals and examples set by those you admire to help you conciliate self and others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are things about yourself you cannot change, and things you can absolutely change. Knowing the difference is a key to happiness. You’ll be inclined to work on yourself. The best work you can do is around acceptance. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s one thing to enjoy something and quite another to be a fan. The latter version is curious, investigative and active in appreciating the finer points. Go on marveling, and one day you will become what you admire. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People don’t have to agree with you in order to be your friend. You have plenty of friends you don’t agree with. The manner in which you disagree -- with respect, tact and diplomacy -- is an agent of trust and bonding. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even as you work for what you want, you’re very happy with certain things you already have. And where this is not the case, you’re willing to let go and move on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While it’s generally better to act out of principle and for the approval of others, sometimes a bit of people-pleasing is the quickest, most strategic route to the common good. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re not trying to be competitive or show anyone up. But as you follow your heart, you gain insights, skills and other qualities that make the people around you want to up their game. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 22). Your passion project becomes a bigger part of your life and has a transforming influence. You’ll join an alliance and, four months later, the investment of resources will come to you with interest. Wise choices sparkle your personal life. You’ll have the approval of someone older and the adoration of someone younger. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 2, 18, 44 and 20. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS SATURDAY, MAY 23, 2020 Four Flexible Luminaries The Gemini part of the sky is famous for imbuing its visitors with remarkable flexibility. Current customers to the yoga studio in Gemini’s district include the sun, moon, Mercury and Venus. As scientist Charles Darwin suggested, “It’s not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change.” ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re different from the others, so it naturally follows that you’ll ask different questions and have novel interactions. You’re memorable and will be adored for this. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you had to choose between being in an endless state of self-satisfaction or continual self-improvement that never quite arrives, you’d take the latter. A pinch of discontent keeps life interesting. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The more people you can align with, the bigger your team grows. You’ll build that group through the weekend, finding kindred spirits or being in the places where they’ll find you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Pay attention to power dynamics because they will teach you a lot about who people really are. The true test of a person’s character is how they handle themselves when they clearly have the upper hand. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re looking for an answer that feels right and actionable to you. You’ve followed lines of logic, but none of them satisfied. So try switching off your head and letting your inner guidance system have a go at this. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s said that every big problem was once a minor disturbance. That’s why you like to handle things when they are small, and you’re very sensitive to all red flags, even the itty- bitty ones! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It shouldn’t be too hard to be good. And if it feels that way, maybe it’s the rules or environment that needs changing, not you. The river needs no special devotion, goodness or willpower to flow effortlessly home to the sea. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your best idea will come as a joke. So you have nothing to lose from thinking in funny terms and letting humor, playfulness and creativity run rampant in your mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you can’t change the past, you can always change the way you see it. Perhaps you’ve been harsh, not assessing the bigger picture. How else could you frame the story? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll feel something akin to this Shakespearean sentiment today, “But the strong base and building of my love is as the very centre of the earth, drawing all things to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you feel your mind taking things in too serious a direction, you can lighten up the whole mental screen with some bodywork -- a walk, a stretch. It won’t take much! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being stuck is a function of having too much, not too little. Let go of an idea or item and then see if you don’t have a little more wiggle room. Jettison enough baggage and you can walk right out. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 23). The cosmic birthday boon is an influx of dollars. You’ll meet many who connect to your emotional tone. They’ll come from different places with a variety of interests, but they’ll share your high intelligence and many of the same values. Amazingly supportive relationships free you to express yourself. Your talents thrive. Scorpio and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 33, 21 and 50. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS
