Today’s horoscope: May 20, 2024: Cusp of Gemini season

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

The cusp of a season is like an old-school phone call. You may feel the last phone call is over, but unless you disconnect, you cannot make the next one. Put in all the new numbers you want, but the connections won’t take. All you’ll get is beeping. Once you hang up the last call completely, the line is clear and ready for fresh conversation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though you’re a bit nostalgic for the past, you fully realize that the best time to be alive is now. Your opportunities are numerous, and your ability to seize them has never been better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You notice when people are saying something that clashes with what they really mean. You’ll not only notice but you’ll make a plan based on what you feel is true rather than what someone says is true.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Relationships help you develop yourself. Your participation in a group will promote curious aspects of you, the sort you will be examining in private moments of reflection for years to come.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When it doesn’t look how you thought it would, you will proceed undeterred. This is the glory of you — a person who keeps their cards close to the vest and doesn’t see glory at all yet somehow gets it in the end.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You think about what other people might be thinking, and this gives you an advantage. Social acuity benefits every part of your life. Today, it will help you figure out what to delegate. It would be inefficient to do everything on your plate all on your own.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can’t give to everyone. Save your resources until you are compelled to give them. Your resources are wide-ranging, the most precious being your attention. That is also the most difficult to wrangle, but you’ll do a good job.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Friendships have taken a different form in recent years, but don’t forget the shape of the old form because it’s the best and most fortifying one. A hundred digital friends can’t compare to one lunch at the same table.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have tricks up your sleeve. While seeming like you are minding your own business, you’re really quite nosey. You pay attention, read the room, and figure out what’s happening and how you might fit into it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because you really care about the puzzle at hand, you’ll do what it takes to unravel it. Research gives you a huge advantage. The best wins are group wins, so involve as many as you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re ready to face something you’ve long ignored. It was good that you didn’t deal with it back there. It would have taken too much from you. Now you can handle it swift and pretty, with grace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love yourself, please yourself, save yourself. There is no saving anyone else. You can help, and you can love, but today is a day when saving is a thing that each person must do individually.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a group you’d like to fit into. You won’t have to change anything about yourself to be accepted there, but it will help to highlight certain aspects of your life and leave others out of mention.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 20). This trip around the sun, you will be cherished, valued and loved beyond measure. Laughter echoes through the halls of your heart. A fresh responsibility will bring out the best in you, amping up your creativity and talent. More highlights: a journey with several legs, mastering your game and winning matches, and seeing the fruits of your labor ripen and multiply. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 10, 4, 14 and 18.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Though Cher is busier than ever writing a memoir, launching a gelato venture and brainstorming her biopic, she still finds time for passions like saving animals with her Free The Wild foundation, which seeks the release of captive animals. A cusp child, Cher has her sun and expressive Mercury in the sign of the powerful voice, Taurus. Passionate Mars is in Leo, the sign of glitz, glamour and showbiz.
