Horoscopes: Sunday, May 12, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your discerning eye will steer you to extraordinary treasures. Perhaps there’s a high price for the thing you really want, but don’t let anyone tell you it’s out of reach.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Because you take care to demonstrate genuine respect, your interactions go smoothly. You’ll be the first to show willingness to compromise, and because of this it will be easy for you to negotiate and strike a deal pleasing to all.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be called a dreamer, which you’ll take as a compliment even though you know that you’re not the one sleeping. It would be more apt to call you an “alternate reality creator,” and you’re doing a fantastic job of it today.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). While your interactions will have a lasting influence, you might be surprised at precisely which ones make the indelible impression. To be on the safe side, you’ll perform a balancing act of staying authentic while being mindful of your influence.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Tenderness comes quite naturally to you, and as you give your gentleness to the moments that don’t necessarily require them, you create a comfort that surprises even as it envelops all who are around you in warmth.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The thrill of brainstorming ideas and mapping out strategies sends a surge of adrenaline through you. Time slows down. Mundane tasks seem like distant memories because you’re too busy crafting your masterpiece.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have good friends who seldom voice their disagreement, advice or opinions, and that just might be what makes them good. You’re better off getting feedback from strangers whose opinions won’t affect an ongoing relationship.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You aim to treat people better than they treat you because that’s how you make sure you’ve done your part as a friend, a dear one and a citizen of the world. Putting in more also builds goodwill for when you can’t be the giver.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The peace in your heart is not from circumstances settling or people agreeing or things suddenly going your way, but rather it comes on the wings of a realization that the reality has its own kind of perfection.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are aware of what you teach others through your example, and you will be mindful to dial your tone into a style of engagement that nurtures and fortifies the childlike spirit inside us all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Part of the fun will be astute questions that spark kinship, ignite conversation and open hearts to bonding. The roles will switch around throughout the day, and each person will get a turn to be the center of attention.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re even more psychically attuned than usual today, and your whims are discovery missions worth following to their inevitable, insightful conclusions. Also, your dreams will hold key insights. Tell yourself before you go to sleep to remember them.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 12). Close relationships are a delight of your year. It’s wonderful not to have to explain yourself because you’re so often with the ones who listen intently, follow along and seek at every juncture to learn you. More highlights: a move or renovation that has you changing your daily routines and systems, three stellar invites, and accolades that were five years in the making. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 10, 2, 13 and 45.
