Horoscopes: Sunday, May 21, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Stay aware of how you are bending to make a situation work. It may very well be worth the stretch, and if so, you’ll be happy to be conscious of this fact as you extend yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A discussion will have an excellent outcome. You may argue, but your goal is to come to a consensus, not to “win.” Pro tip: Start by clarifying the issue. Disagreement is often a misunderstanding of the problem being discussed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are changes that get harder to achieve the more you think about them. You want to stand on the edge of the diving board long enough to ready yourself, not long enough to get so much in your head that you change your mind.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). While there’s a part of you that aspires to intellectual achievement, physical mastery and spiritual awakening, another part of you wants to binge a streaming series. Good news: The two may not be mutually exclusive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The universe has infinite ways of bringing you happiness on a platter. Sometimes it’s about getting what you want, and more times it isn’t. This is just another reason you don’t have to try and control everything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Fast thinking will be required. Also, you’ll walk a tightrope between honesty and kindness. This rope is braided with white lies, humor and warmth. You’re uniquely equipped to succeed, with the balancing pole of good intentions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The treasure hides in a closet, car trunk, drawer or cupboard. You may have to get rid of a few things to find it. Toss what you don’t want to create a vacuum that pulls what you do want closer to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Should you find yourself giving in to curiosity, you’ll tap into your talent for navigating new and precarious situations. Danger will have more than its usual allure. Careful: The internal chemistry of adrenaline can be addictive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You won’t be able to attend everything people want you to be at. You don’t owe anyone an explanation, but if you want to give one, keep it short and sweet. For instance, “I have a conflict.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Things aren’t ideal, but you accept and try to understand what’s really going on. To ignore or reject reality might provide temporary relief but ultimately puts a person at a disadvantage, preventing the action needed for improvement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are many reasons to be discreet, the most compelling being that it gives you power. There’s security in having information that others want to know. Maintain your power by spilling only enough to keep people interested. There’s an art to this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is natural, preferred even, to question what you can do. Humility and success walk hand in hand. Watch out for the ones who are completely confident. Famously, “Pride goeth before the fall.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 21). You’ll have the fulfillment that comes from finding your thing, doing it well and being valued and paid for it. Your excellent reputation will be known by many as those you help spread the good word. More highlights: perfect emotional weather for a special relationship, two memorable trips and a fresh take on a family tie. Scorpio and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 1, 40, 33 and 15.
