Horoscopes: Tuesday, May 21, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The dawn is a prize for those who wake up early. The sunset is a treat for outsiders, and those with a window seat or a room with the right view. As you take advantage of the free pleasures, expensive ones will also befall you.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your interests meld with the common interest, and a lucrative wave of business follows. Years of experience suddenly add up to well-deserved mastery. Smooth will be the road of business relationships established now.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everyone needs a support system. As you build yours, you may notice you don’t want to. On some level, you think of yourself as a solo act. But there is no solo act on the planet that doesn’t come with a behind-the-scenes team.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). With your big plans, you can’t afford to wait for inspiration. You’ll simply show up and work with the inspiration of the moment. If that doesn’t kick in, you’ll work until inspiration catches up with you.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is a day of clean slates. Ask for the second chance (or third or fourth) and you will get it. Love and forgiveness will weave together like entwined fingers of holding hands.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It seems sometimes that you’ll do about anything to see your loved one smile. Today, you’ll be struck with the fact of the matter — some smile-producing things are not sustainable, but you’ll sprinkle them in, to excellent effect.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll extend your empathy and imagination to try and understand where someone is coming from. Seeing the world how another person sees it gives you new access to it. Knowledge of people is knowledge of the world.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Loving someone doesn’t mean they won’t drive you bonkers. When annoying behaviors test your nerves, assume it’s not personal or deliberate, and take it as a sign of intimacy. Mature relationships are a prize held by few. Take pride.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your behaviors and your attitude will say more about you than anything you own. This is why you invest in developing your skills, improving yourself and learning about the world and about people.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You see that something needs to be done, and then you have an instinct about what. The job will fall to you, not because it’s your responsibility but because you are the one it chose.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is said that once is enough to see, not to be. Today, fortune favors a one-off adventure. It will bring a thrill, a story, a notch on your belt or simply the confidence of knowing that you are a person who is open to life.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What if the thing that is so bothersome to you doesn’t need to be solved or overcome? Maybe it just needs to be accepted. That might seem harder than the previous two options, but it is also much more realistic.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 21). Here comes your best chapter yet, filled with love, laughter and opportunity. You bring the levity, humor and an emphasis on trends to projects and create winning results, especially financially. Unsurprisingly, you gain many fans. More highlights: Excellent tickets, a big celebration, and someone you pull close will accompany you on three adventures. Scorpio and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 7, 16, 12 and 1.
