Horoscopes: May 22, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have Plan B and plan C, but keep planning. With so many variables, the more you plan, the better prepared you'll be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If all you do today is find more ways that don't work, you'll be closer to solving your problem. Keep track of noneffective methods and do not to repeat them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It's a compliment when people borrow from you. But when they don't return your goods or don't credit you, the compliment is more backhanded than anything.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don't always have to fight for what's yours. But if you're ready for a fight, it reinforces the boundary, commands respect, and discourages challengers.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You might have talked your way into a situation, but you'll have to listen your way out. Lead with empathy, patience, compassion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those who are critical of you will be more so today. Protect yourself first. Then think how to best use the opportunity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll have time to develop your ideas, but not too much time. The deadline will force you to focus on what's important.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When life gets heavy, the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) will offer a fresh approach so you move on instead of overthinking.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As for the old baggage, there's no time for an auction, a garage sale, or Craigslist. Kick it to the curb.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Tenacity is rewarded in sore muscles, sweaty clothes, and bewilderment before it's ever rewarded in tangible results. It's a word for the strong.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just because information is positive doesn't make it inaccurate. Sometimes, the best news comes in its purest, truest form.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What if no one ever took responsibility for things that were not their responsibility? You know better, and push the bar higher.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 22). The most attractive people are ones who know and embrace their "faults," as you will in the weeks to come. What you once thought was a detriment will earn you money, friends, and more in the next 10 weeks. You'll travel in style through September and upgrade your domestic scene in December. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 29, 44, 19 and 33.
