FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 When you look into the night sky at an object that is 100 light years away, you are essentially looking back in time because what you are seeing is how the object appeared 100 years ago. This same weird sense of time affects your life story. Mercury'…Read more. FOR RELEASE: SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012 Generosity of spirit can be an intangible quality that people recognize on deeper levels, even if they would be hard-pressed to describe it in concrete terms. The Leo moon changes that, making something as invisible as love seem clear and obvious. …Read more. FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2012 Mercury got a boost of zesty Gemini energy yesterday, which King Neptune, frankly, finds irritating.

The Capricorn moon is your guide to getting things done. It will help you prioritize. It will show you which 20 percent of your efforts are netting you 80 percent of your desired results. And it will also urge you to take full responsibility for what really should be yours to handle so that you can either delegate the rest or leave it to its rightful owner.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're the kind of friend everyone could use. You'll keep even the most scintillating of secrets, quietly destroy the less than flattering photos and kindly agree if it helps your pal save face.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Be forthright. Let everyone know what you're up to and where they stand with you. If people are left to speculate about your motives, they'll guess wrong. Be clear and you'll gain support.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you're asked to give an opinion, weigh in. But if you're asked to make a judgment, hold off until you are sure you have all of the information. Be slow to commit.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Small issues can escalate quickly on a day like this, when passions are running hot. If you run into a problem, meet with the others involved right away and face to face for a speedy resolution.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's not only those close to you who can sense how you're feeling. Complete strangers will read your energy with impressive accuracy. So try to put yourself in a terrific mood before you leave the house.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You care less and less what others think about you, and this makes it easy for you to get into a room and hash out an agreement. When a confrontation is successful, both people will be changed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There's a time to keep score and a time to even the score. But right now, it's better to throw out the score sheet altogether and start fresh. You will feel better immediately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You care about people, and you want to hear their opinions and their response to what you are putting out into the world. You'll encourage open dialogue, and you're a fantastic listener.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want to uplift the people around you, and through your encouraging words, you'll do just that. You'll have three separate opportunities to share kindness and good cheer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll make a choice that affects someone on a personal level.

You'll put the relationship first, realizing that situations can always change and it's how you treat people that matters.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are plenty of broken and dysfunctional people out there, but you don't feel the need to criticize. You'll offer up compassion and steer clear of gossip. You'll go to bed with a clear conscience.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may see a problem long before others do. It doesn't necessarily make you a pessimist, as long as you use the information for good. Become part of the solution; look for the remedy.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 27). You'll set some mighty powerful intentions, and this will inspire you to stretch into the new year. Special training or studies in March will help you increase your income. April brings the completion of a fulfilling personal project. Relationships improve in June. You'll go on an August adventure. Scorpio and Sagittarius people support you in multiple ways. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 4, 13, 32 and 25.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Have you ever thought of a way to make the world a better place? Perhaps you've imagined a product, method or service that would help humanity in some small or profound way. Whether or not you've ever been struck with such an inspiration before, many will experience some such spark as Venus enters Aquarius this week. The spirit of invention will spring to life. The moon will also be in Aquarius for the first three days of March. It's a time of sharing. Friendships are strengthened by everyday instances of kindness and generosity. Much is accomplished through intellectual discussion, which is far more lighthearted and accessible than it sounds. Laughter and music are still the fastest and best routes to real connection. Friday brings the new moon in Pisces. This lunar aspect favors forgiveness, especially the kind that goes from you to you. No one is perfect. However you have let yourself down in the past or fallen short of your expectations, it's really OK. Feeling bad about it never helps. Find the lesson in your past, and take it to heart. Believe that the future is bright for you, and it will be.
