Gemini: People aren’t asking for your opinion because you’re an expert on the subject, they’re asking because they trust you to know what’s right. Give them the confidence, inspiration, and support to find the proper answers for themselves.

Pisces: The opportunity you’re waiting for may not exist until you create it. Your understanding of the ins and outs of a challenge could lead to an approach no one else can see yet. Bring your expertise to the table for a new start.

If May 14 is your birthday: If you are single, steer clear of new romance during the next two to three weeks, when rose-colored glasses might let you down. A tendency to demand your own way could cause complications, try to work out effective compromises. Don’t be surprised if there’s an extra spotlight on your talents in June. Money moves later in the month could pan out if people prove trustworthy. You may turn heads as you glow with warmth and charm in daily interactions. Mid- to late-July might be your moment to zero in on tasks, flexing practical know-how for career gains or financial plays. Your ability to set a fast pace and lead the pack might be highlighted in later July and August, so roll with enthusiasm and capture some recognition for accomplishment. Hold off on financial moves in late August and early September if your business mojos off and you’re consumed by fantasies.
