HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, May 7, 2021: You are practical, patient and empa- thetic with others. You follow your intu- ition because you believe in destiny. As your new personal year begins, you will see the rewards of your past efforts. This is now your time of harvest! Furthermore, you will earn the respect of others, espe- DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker cially your peers. You might get a promo- tion or a leadership role. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Today the Moon is in your sign, which happens for two days every month, and when it does, it will always make you more emotional than usual. However, it will also slightly improve your good luck! (That’s a bonus.) Why not test it by asking the universe for a favor? SCARY GARY Mark Buford TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  Today you will feel more com- fortable working alone or behind the scenes. You’re not being antisocial; you just want some peace and quiet and a chance to enjoy your own solitude. It’s been a social time for you with the Sun and Venus in your sign, and now you need a breather. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  An interaction with a female acquaintance might be significant today. In fact, you might want to share your hopes Crosswords and dreams for the future with this person because his or her feedback can help you. DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni Why not speak up and find out? CANCER (June 21-July 22)  Today personal details about your private life are made public for some reason. People are talking about you. They notice you more than usual. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. You might even use this to your advantage. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  You want a change of pace today. You want to run away and join the circus or do something deliciously differ- ent. This is because you want adventure and a chance to learn something new! Go B.C. Mastroianni and Hart someplace you’ve never been before. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)  Today you might have a reaction to issues related to shared property, inheri- tances, taxes, debt or anything to do with the wealth of someone else. Suddenly, these issues matter. They’re black and white. Likewise, your personal passions are also heightened. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  Today the Moon is in the sign that is opposite your sign. This happens for two days every month, and when it does, it means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Hey, no biggie. ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie It simply requires cooperation and courte- sy (qualities you have in abundance). SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)  Today you will have to put your own emotional considerations second to those of someone else. You’re not being a martyr; it’s just what’s necessary. You will realize “It’s a joy to labor for those you love.” When we’re kind to others, we like ourselves more. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  This is a playful, lighthearted day! You want to have fun! You have a need to be just who you are without pre- tense. You also might feel protective and ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett nurturing to children or to a friend. You will enjoy playful activities with children. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)  Today you will be happy to cocoon at home and enjoy your privacy among familiar surroundings. You also might have a significant talk with a female family member. If you have a chance to think about things, you will see how much habits control your life. So say we all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)  Today your personal communi- cations with others matter. You want the nitty-gritty. You don’t want to waste time on polite, superficial chitchat about the Cryptoquip weather. This is why you might be bold ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe when talking to a friend today, especially with pointed questions.
