Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, May 18, 2004

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's time for a serious financial checkup. Today's New Moon offers you a chance to make some resolutions about your budget. You do have one don't you? (I had one once but I lost it.) Think about how you can get the best value for what you earn.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today's New Moon is important because it occurs in your sign. This is the perfect time for you to assess your style of relating to others. (In particular, your success (or lack of it) in your closest relationships.) Don't be afraid to go more than halfway. Be risk taking. Offer your heart. Life is too short to do anything else.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Each New Moon offers us a chance to pull up our socks in some area. It's the perfect time to make resolutions to improve your life. This month, your sign has an opportunity to improve your spiritual life as well as how you relate to the government and large institutions. (Weird combo.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your friends hugely determine your future because they influence your mind and hence your choices. Do you like who you hang out with? What kind of friend are you in return? Friends are important. Studies show that friendships actually influence our health. (The old mind/body connection.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be very clear in your mind about what your career path is now. Where do you want to be five years from now? If you know this, you'll know what to do now to begin to move in that direction. If you can't visualize that far ahead, then write down what you want to achieve this year.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Now is the time to make plans for future travel and educational opportunities. Likewise, lay out your strategy for anything connected with publishing, the media, the law and medicine. Be very clear in your mind what you want to achieve. Today's New Moon is the time!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It's not easy coming to terms with the values of somebody else. It's far more comfortable sitting with one's own values. (They're so comfy and familiar.) But if you live or work closely with others - compromise is inevitable. Whatchagonnado?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today's New Moon opposes your sign. This offers you the best opportunity all year to think about how you can improve your closest relationships and partnerships. To what extent are you willing to put the needs and welfare of others before your own? (The supreme loving sacrifice.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your impulse to get better organized at work is right on the money. In large measure, it's a mindset. Begin by reducing clutter. Mess and clutter around you also clutter up your mind. Plus you can never find your car keys. If you do just this -- you'll be better off.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You're a hard working sign who's inclined to believe "no pain no gain." This hair shirt mentality has to go! It's time for fun, romance and a vacation! Are you willing to give yourself this reward? (Far easier to be overburdened than to enjoy guilty pleasures.) Not.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Without question, your greatest opportunity this month is to improve your home life. What do you want to change? What can you do? Think about what needs to transpire to make your domestic life happier for you. Certainly, you deserve to be happy -- right?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today's New Moon urges you to think about how you communicate to your daily contacts. Are you polite and considerate? Are you kind? Do you treat others with the warmth and generosity that you would like to receive in turn?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Yun-Fat Chow (1955) shares your birthday. You are a committed idealist. You are tolerant, broad minded and liberal; yet you also value tradition. You speak out if a cause is important to you. You are fascinated by life and want to explore everything. This year puts a strong emphasis on partnership.
