Your ideas are catching on like wildfire. Are you ready to handle the blazes? Being a role model can be daunting to a free spirit like you. Keep a strong support network near – and hire an assistant if the workload gets too heavy.

The planets prompt a massive spring-cleaning mission before May wraps. Bid adieu to objects that trigger bad memories or no longer suit you. On May 25, a lunar eclipse heralds changes at work. Someone is leaving, but ultimately this means a new opportunity for you.

August 9, 1964

All hands on deck! Working smarter (rather than harder) means embracing the power of teamwork. You may have some disagreements (and there may be tears), but there’s an upside, too: You’ll get to do your victory dance a lot sooner.

Virgo – August 24-September 23

October 8. 1980

Your popularity is on the rise. You’ll find common ground with many different people. Cross the divide and mingle! Do you have time to slip off to a better-late-than-never spring break? Wanderlust strikes near Memorial Day. Hit the road with your favorite fella or gal for a fun long weekend.

Scorpio – October 24-November 22

October 28, 1963

Where do your loyalties lie, Scorpio? Pick a side or risk losing everybody’s allegiance. Who has a proven track record of showing you the money? While he or she might mot be very exciting, this person is dependable – a priceless trait. A long-distance relationship heats up near June 2. Explore!

Sagittarius – November 23-December 21

November 25, 1965

Mix it up! Opposites attract and click from May 20 onward. But don’t forget to tend to solo missions, too. The lunar eclipse on May 25 spotlights your talents alone. Resist the urge to hide behind a louder, more confident person. It’s time to step out on your own and take charge!

Capricorn – December 22-January 20

Naya Rivera

January 2, 1987

Wax on, wax off? Enough! Break from routine and revive your joie de vivre. It’s easy: Drive a different route to work, invite new coworkers to lunch or slip off to a midday cardio class. At the end of the day, suffering is optional. Let go of a draining commitment before May is through.

Aquarius – January 21-February 19

Garrett Morris

February 1, 1937

Drop the Tin Man routine and pay attention to your hear. You’ve been a little too hard on someone, and it’s time to soften up. Instead of focusing on what that person is doing wrong, make a list of all you’re thankful for. Gratitude paves the way for love, turning the tide on your union by June.

Pisces – February 20-March 20

Jon Hamm

March 10, 1971

Blow up the air mattress and fir up the grill. The planets align to turn you into a great host this week. Take the helm with a Memorial Day gathering and bring together old friends and family. Make it an all-ages celebration. An important child needs your nurturing brand of TLC.

Aries – March 21-April 20

Mariah Carey

March 27, 1970

You talk a good game, but can you back up your words? Tone down the bluster and let people teach you a thing or two. Working alongside a master takes you into a brand-new league. Opportunity knocks in late May from a faraway source. Consider traveling, or even relocating, to pursue this dream.

Taurus – April 21-May 21

Elyes Gabel

May 8, 1983

Get practical, Taurus. Your big ideas certainly have potential, but what will they cost to pull off – and how much time are they going to take? Do all of the requisite research now. You may have to scale back your Version 1.0, but don’t worry! Your pared-down project will still be a hit.

“We’re all unique and we have different games,” says Delle Donne (center, with Diggins, left, and Griner)

There will be no rookie blues for the WNBA as the new season begins. After becoming household names during their college careers, three high-profile newbies – Baylor’s Brittney Griner (the two-time consensus national player of the year), Delaware’s Elena Delle Donne and Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins – enter the league with expectations to score on the court and at the box office.

They know it won’t be a layup. “Everyone is bigger, stronger, faster in the WNBA,” says Delle Donne, a 6-foot-5 guard/forward who was drafted No. 2 overall by the Chicago Sky. “These are the best girls in the world, so obviously I’m going to have to get used to the speed of the game.” She’ll get her first taste on Memorial Day (Monday, 5/27, 5/4c, ESPN2) when  the Sky visit the Phoenix Mercury who grabbed Griner as the top overall pick. (Diggins went No. 3 to the Tulsa Shock.) “There’s going to be so much hype, which is a great thing for the sport,” Delle Donne says of the game, her first ever against Griner. “It’s definitely a great challenge to start the season and see where we are and where we need to go, but it’s going to be fun.”
