► 19 May 2014 : You're a visionary! Today brings a new way of seeing the world, and you may be more excited than anyone else in the room. Share what you see and you are quite likely to inspire a few colleagues.
► 20 May 2014 : Think more about the long-term today -- your ideas are better suited to intricate plans than immediate tactical deployment. You should be able to deal with people who are short-sighted.
► 21 May 2014 : Don't worry too much about what goes on today -- though it's likely to be positive. Instead, you need to focus your intellect on the long-term. It's easier than you may realize.
► 22 May 2014 : Events might not make much sense at first, but once you start seeing them as rooted in karma, it all adds up. Past actions are just now starting to reverberate in your life and nearby.
► 23 May 2014 : You need to use your powers to help others -- so make sure that you're looking out for problems to fix. Things should start to get a lot more interesting by the end of the day.
► 24 May 2014 : Ambition is a driving force -- and you've got more than most! Check in with yourself briefly so you know where you're headed, and then get moving with a quickness! You can do great things today. For you to turn down an invitation, it takes something as life-or-death as a natural disaster. No matter where you're going, you insist on getting there first, mingling with absolutely everyone and leaving first, too -- so that you can be the first to ring the next doorbell, of course! For most of us -- like your current companion, for example, it can be an exhausting pace. Be merciful and walk just a little slower.
► 25 May 2014 : Your terrific personal energy makes action easy and fun -- so get busy! You may find that something you had thought was an obstacle is actually a tool you can use to get ahead. Go for it.
► 26 May 2014 : You can get your way without resorting to anything sneaky or underhanded today -- just speak forcefully (and tactfully) and you are sure to sway the right people. Directness is the secret.
► 27 May 2014 : You feel extra-social today, and you should find that others feel the same way -- at least when you're around. You should be able to make some progress in an area that had once seemed totally impossible. Part of you wants nothing more than to keep quiet about what you're feeling, especially if it's a touchy subject. But a much more insistent part of you -- the rebellious part who wants to challenge the world with the news -- that part of you just won't have it. You're currently doing internal battle. While neither side has officially won, you know who to bet on -- and it's not the side of you that wants to be nice.
► 28 May 2014 : Try not to dive too deeply into any emotional business today -- you've got to keep things on surface-level as much as you can. Your energy is best spent on mundane activities anyway. You're quite fiery, especially when it's time to speak your mind -- or ask for answers you know you deserve. You've never been shy about asking those questions, either, even if they're not polite. Now that you've got a hot topic on your mind and you know there's no other way to solve it than to ask around, you're more than willing to risk tarnishing your reputation a little to get the answers you're after.
► 29 May 2014 : You've got a way with people right now, and you may find that you're casually flirting with folks whom you wouldn't ordinarily feel comfortable with. Go for it! Things can change for the better now. Give a fire some air and you can really feel the heat. Right now you and someone new are sparking off of each other all over, especially when you add your flirtatious rambling into the mix. Make sure that it's someone you're really interested in -- there's nothing worse than building up a roaring fire only to have to quickly hose it down with an extinguisher.
