Horoscope: May 23

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll have the direct realization that life is wonderful without having to psych yourself into the idea. There’s no need to build a case for it because there is no reason behind the notion.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Get rest. Stay home as much as possible. Do things that require little exertion. You have a busy week ahead of you, and one behind you, so this is your well-deserved pit stop.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): If love is a form of attention, then the object of your affection is loved indeed. You will tend to this person’s every nuanced need and desire. This you can do only because you are feeling so selfless and giving.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’re giving off intense vibes. You’re in a mood to connect with people in brief but meaningful ways.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): No matter what the field of interest is, too much information on one subject will eventually bore you to tears.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Calm down. It’s not all up to you. You’re responsible for a lot, but most things will happen naturally without you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You have a way of making people feel better about the mistakes they have made. You won’t be quick to judge, and you’ll understand the appeal of a wrong path.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ll finish everything you are supposed to get done and still have time to mess around. It’s a good thing, since the foolish, time-wasting pursuits wind up being the highlights of the day.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll run into people you think you’ll see again. The reality is that if you want that to happen, you have to make the effort.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re nice to be around now, and loved ones will want to do things with you. Complaining, disapproving, grumpy people will be jealous of the attention you get.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You understand the equality of all beings. Even though one feels superior and the eye of the world may perceive him that way, you see how everyone is the same.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): People like you and want to work and play with you. But circumstances and generally busy lives won’t allow for natural, easy contact.

Today’s birthday (May 23): Because of the way you show your love and respect for others and the world around you, you make a difference. You’ll wheel and deal in June and have more savings as a result. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 5, 41, 22 and 15.
