News Headlines (503) 12 May - 13 May 2014




ONLINE TODAY

12 May 2014 : You could charm the birds from the trees today -- and you may need to do something equally impressive if you want to make the most of this terrific energy. Don't be brash when you can be persuasive. Your focus for the next few days will be on one thing, and one thing only: Making sure your dear ones feel warm, wonderful and, above all else, well-loved. And you'll be extremely well equipped for the job. The universe has sent several planetary envoys to help you -- but then, as fiery and determined as you are by nature, you may not need them. Defense is second only to offense on your list of specialties.

13 May 2014 : Your emotional side is in need of some attention -- and you can make a real difference if you attend to your feelings. See if your people can give you the space you need to take care of this. Your feelings may fly around like an unpredictable yo-yo today -- so it's not the best time to make any first impressions on anybody. Stick with the folks who know you well. You can't control what kind of mood you'll be in when you are with others, but if they already know you, they'll be fine with whatever energy you put out. Your emotions are in control of your life for today.
