Legal No. 296995 Published: May 7, 10, 12, 14, 2022 by Stella Wilder SUNDAY, MAY 15, 2022 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are such a wildly creative individual that it is anyone’s guess, at any given time, what they might find you working on -- and, indeed, there are times when you may surprise even yourself by jumping wholeheartedly into something you’ve never done or doing something seemingly routine in a way that has never been tried. You do what your imagination compels you to do, and you are rarely, if ever, limited by any notion of what others might want you to do or of how others might want you to do it. MONDAY, MAY 16 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must alert others to something that only you have noticed so far. If no one responds, you’ll have a tricky situation on your hands. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Count up the reasons you’ve come up with for doing a certain thing today, and you’ll understand just how necessary it is. Don’t hold back. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be looking forward to receiving feedback on a certain past endeavor, but what you learn will serve you well in future attempts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’re going to have to deal with the consequences of a recent entanglement, especially if you haven’t quite sorted it out to your satisfaction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You receive a boost today from someone who understands, perhaps more than you do, what you’re trying to accomplish. You get a head start. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can learn a great deal more from watching someone struggle with a certain situation than you can from dealing with it yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find that many of the usual rules do not apply today -- but that doesn’t mean you can do anything you want. Be mindful of others! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Information isn’t likely to come to you very quickly today, in part because you haven’t yet set up an efficient way to receive it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You mustn’t pay so much attention to what others are doing and saying that you are careless in your own work. You must avoid mistakes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The fall- out from a recent decision is difficult to han- dle today -- but a friend steps in and helps you clear the way forward just in time. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You’ve been doing a great deal to prove that self-esteem is justified, and today others should come to that conclusion at last. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’ve been underestimating your power lately, but today you’ll have the chance to do something that puts it on display. MONDAY, MAY 16, 2022 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of the most color- ful individuals born under your sign, and though you are often going to find yourself on display in some way, that doesn’t mean others are going to know all about you or be privy to your innermost secrets. On the contrary, you can be quite protective of the “real you” -- that person who cherishes privacy and intimate relationships, and who can quickly tire of the kind of life that is overly indulgent or in the public eye. TUESDAY, MAY 17 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others are sure to recognize something special you have that is unique to you. Today’s the day to make use of it most creatively. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’re eager to be treated as one of the “team,” but you’ve not yet been invited to join. What can you do to ensure you will be by day’s end? CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Let your actions speak louder than words today and you’ll surely win the respect of someone you’ve long looked up to as a guide and men- tor. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You want to get up and go today -- but where? Let yourself wander a bit, and you’ll discover that you do have something of an agenda. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It’s a good time to let others influence you as they will -- up to a point. You have something to learn about group dynamics today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You’ll surely want to remember the little things today, even if they don’t seem to matter in the moment. That won’t be the case later on! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself in a difficult position where your personal affairs are concerned. Someone has misinterpreted the truth as a lie. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Difficulty you encounter today can actually do you a great deal of good -- especially if you’re receptive to any kind of criticism. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must keep your promises today -- in business, in love, in all things. It may be difficult, but too much hangs in the balance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may soon feel reborn in some sense, and today you’ll want to take the opportunity to learn all you can about the old you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 29) -- Time may be working against you during the first part of the day, but the clock becomes an ally later on, when you are able to settle in. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may want to conceal your honest reaction to a certain chain of events today, until you know precisely how others have been affected.
