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 Taurus moon heightens the senses and introduces an appetite for earthly delights, many of which come with a high-dollar price tag. Taurus rules the handling of assets, and the lunar transit of this sign highlights the emotional component of financial interaction. If it promises to make you feel better, consider it sold.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Too much thinking could prevent you from diving in and getting things accomplished. You can effectively calm the internal chatter through exercise, breath work or being in water.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No one is young forever. Whether you are enjoying your own youth or someone else's, revel in it for the exquisite gift it is. Let the fresh energy inform all of your senses.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will benefit from noticing what's going on outside of your life and world. The enlarged perspective not only helps you to feel better about your life, but it also allows you to make an informed move.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your priorities are obvious. You value beauty, comfort and quality and surround yourself with the same. Your environment will be a lovely haven for those around you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mettle will be tested as you meet with a situation that requires you to take a mind-over-matter type of approach. The task may be uncomfortable, but if you just do it, it will be over soon enough.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Assuming that you already know something would be dangerous now. Instead, keep your eyes wide open in the spirit of wonder and curiosity. This attitude will lead to amazing good luck.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You would always rather be one who brings energy into a room instead of one who sucks energy out it. It will take effort, preparation and a proactive gesture in order to accomplish this today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are well aware that you don't have to over-spend your hard-earned cash to dress with style. You'll add to your wardrobe, and you could even come up with a new signature look.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You love people who don't take themselves too seriously, because it allows you to let your guard down and just be yourself. You'll encounter someone like this today, and you'll both have a good chuckle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your most endearing qualities come to the fore on this carefree day.

You will favorably engage others, even complete strangers, with your curious, playful approach.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your love of beauty disallows you to purchase anything that falls short of your standards of elegance. What you want is not always immediately affordable, but eventually you find a way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll be doing different types of work and will benefit from taking a moment to switch gears between tasks. Tonight: Remember to turn up the charm, and you'll have social success.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 5). You'll display your visionary powers, and others really catch on to your train of thought. In honing your leadership qualities, you'll shape the future. Good luck in May will broaden your financial horizons. Family additions happen in June. July brings a welcome change of pace. Relationships will be a source of fun and adventure. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 44, 38 and 16.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm in love with an Aries man. The problem is that he's so impulsive that I don't know from day to day what he wants from me. He has mentioned marriage on more than one occasion, and then a month later, he seems to forget all about that. We've broken up three times because he said he needed space. Do you think he'll come around? I really do feel like he's the one for me — when it's good, it's better than any relationship I've had. What can I do to make him see that I'm the one for him, too? I'm a Taurus."

Your headstrong Aries man cannot be coerced into seeing that you're the one for him, and you should in no way take this personally. You could be the most beautiful woman in the world, with the best personality and in possession of all of the exact attributes that he most wants in a woman, and he still would not see that you are the one for him unless he wanted to. Since you cannot make him want to, your only choice is to live your life. Do the things that make you feel like the sensual, vibrant creature you are.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Illusionist, magician and endurance artist David Blaine was born under the risk-taking Aries sun and has his natal Venus in the fiery sign, as well. His Mercury in Pisces signifies imagination and a tendency toward mystical self-expression. His Taurus moon indicates amazing powers of endurance and the stellar work ethic necessary to master the art and craft of magic.
