Horoscopes: May 19, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Should you seek support, or is that the costly, lazy, complicated way of solving the problem? If you can afford to try it out with little stress to your resources, you'll know straightaway. If not, you'll be fine (brilliant, even) on your own.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone is too busy forming complaints to listen to the complaints of others. The trick is to get busy with something better than being disgruntled. Do this, and you'll stand out as remarkable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What starts out as a dilemma could turn into a contest, game, or reason to survey dozens of people. You will turn this puzzle into social amusement.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You usually sprinkle some fun in with your disciplined approach to work. Today, you will be more successful sprinkling a disciplined approach into your fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The inner and outer realities aren't meshing. A dramatic expression will be cathartic, although best endeavored alone. You don't need witnesses to feel better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Things that come too easily to a person will have very little value, regardless of how high the public praise may be. This is just one more reason to stop giving your services away for free.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth to take on strong-willed people, so you acquiesce. But If you don't like what they call you, stop answering to it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Power won't be granted, and you won't have to steal it. It's more of a summoning process. Direct your energy. Channel chaotic nervousness into one focused stream. That's powerful!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Combine your bright ideas with the luminous insights of another, and then run and get your sunglasses - together, you'll be dangerously brilliant.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your main concern has to do with handling business, not making friends. However, it is precisely because you behave in such a professional way that you attract social opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You consider yourself to be a kind of host of today's situation, and you'll mingle breezily, making sure everyone around you is having fun. Thanks to you, anyone who is capable of a good time will be having one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your time has been valuable all along, though extra work and a stiff deadline make every second seem to count even more. Discourage interruptions. Ask for the abbreviated version of every story.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 19). Your attention will jump-start something new in August. This will be a year when friendships get stronger, business ties grow more lucrative, and romance inspires you. A remarkable accomplishment in July will raise your status and allow you to care for you and yours at a new level. September brings leisure and luxury. Pisces and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 11, 14, 21, and 9.
