Horoscopes: Saturday, May 20, 2017

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your mind will wander, as is the nature of minds. Though you shouldn't always concern yourself with where it goes, you'll benefit from investigating tonight's thought patterns.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you try to manage your own behavior like a boss trying to control the staff through micromanagement, you'll be met with irritation, resentment and backbiting. Try tolerant self-care.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some you will have to entertain. Your favorites, though, will be those self-entertaining types who will come up with a lot of interesting work and/or fun.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Possessions are not inherently precious to you, but you make them precious through your associations. Others don't feel the same. Work out differing views about money and the material.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People are more fragile than they seem. You know to be gentle with the young and the old, but you don't stop there. Your kind attention toward those who seem tough does the most good today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're naturally self-controlled, polite without effort and inclined to listen to the opinions and stories of others with a level of attention that makes them feel seen and accepted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Looking back years from now, your time will be far more memorable and meaningful if you spend it on an adventure than on the regular same ol', same ol'.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It turns out that you don't need as much as you thought you would. Bonus: It's easy to let it go. Even if your generosity is foolish, it's so important for you to give. You are the benefactor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a gift for exploring the interests of others while still remaining true to yourself. This talent will help

today, and you'll be surprised at how you can apply what you learn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A craving can seem like a curse that wears down your resistance to temptation. However, there's also a message in a craving about a deeper need. Search for the root meaning of it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Often even a terrible situation can be made far less so by the slightest amount of levity. Taking things too seriously usually makes them worse. Only the light can drive out darkness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you think too far ahead you might freak yourself out, especially in matters of relationships. Take it slow.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 20). Gather souvenirs, because you'll want to remember this happy time! Your world will get more vivid; fresh experiences open your eyes to color and nuance. Schooling will be involved, as well as the influence of younger people and technology. Love starts with simple courtesy and respect and will grow from there. Virgo and Capricorn adore you. Lucky numbers: 7, 45, 13, 2, 49.
