Today’s horoscope, May 28, 2024: Bright trines of intellect

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

The lunar air sign trines urge us not to underestimate the power in small things. A tiny key can open a huge door. A poem that hardly takes up an inch of paper can conjure an entire new environment in the mind. A smile can save a sale or seal a friendship or launch a love affair, and an idea — an idea can change the world.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It appears everyone is following along with an established structure, but these proceedings are more flexible than they seem. Whether you require other accommodations or you just want them, go ahead and ask.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are grateful for all your lessons, though not right away! That would be odd and probably false as the discomfort of growth typically is the kind of thing humans appreciate in retrospect, not in real time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You do not need to be daring in order to complete the work of the day, and yet all it takes is about 10% more courage to launch you out of the orbit of the ordinary and into a full-fledged adventure.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your activities have gotten so entwined with the needs of your loved ones that you can’t even remember when you last had a whole day doing exactly what you wanted to do. You can remedy this with some planning ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Is it really worth it to succeed in the eyes of others? Sure! But only if their idea of success just happens to match your own. The only prosperity that brings satisfaction happens on the journey of fulfilling your intentions for yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Since people want what you contribute, and there’s a limited supply of it, it only makes sense that you should raise your price. This probably doesn’t have to do with money. There’s a more subtle exchange here.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The sweet energy you’re radiating makes it easy for others to connect with you. The best part is you’re not even trying to have a positive aura; you get there by enjoying yourself. You’ll attract like-minded individuals and strengthen your relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some of the things that are now a part of your daily life are ongoing pursuits that will never stop being a lot of work for you. In that light, resisting or resenting them doesn’t make sense. Everything you accept helps to conserve your energy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your emotions may seem too intense or different from what the other people seem to be experiencing, but they are exactly right for you. It is not productive to try and manage them. Instead, regard them as strange gifts to cherish.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People don’t always behave in the expected way, but there’s always something to gain from the experience — if nothing else, then tolerance. The more you can accept, the more powerful you become.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The beat demands motion, and the motion demands a beat. Marching to the beat of your own drum is not difficult for you. The only time it gets complicated is when there are other rhythms going on. This is why you’ll find your own field today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A burning need to confide is part of the astral alchemy for you now. It’s still difficult to know who is trustworthy. Even your own diary, if left unprotected, could reveal you. Be judicious.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 28). This year teaches you that many limits are actually illusions that disappear when you believe harder and charge forward. More highlights: You’ll attract connections that align with your values and aspirations and cherish your existing relationships, savoring the beauty and love they bring to your life. You’ll be paid well for work that lets you be authentically yourself. Aries and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 1, 3, 33 and 19.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Colbie Caillat will celebrate the first blushes of her new solar year with performances at the Country Music Association Awards and various summer festivals. The Grammy-winning artist is a Gemini trendsetter who influences with healthy choices. She maintains a meatless diet even when she’s touring the world and living out of a suitcase. Caillat’s Virgo moon is a moon of discipline, nutrition, neatness, organization and health.
