Rise and Shine on May 15 (it’s nice to see that even hard truths have their soft sides) and May 16 (you’ve been there for others. Now it’s time for them to be there for you), May 17 (you’re at your extemporaneous best. It’s the perfect day for making a pitch or talking your way out of a traffic ticket), May 19 (if you really want to get somewhere then start with the opportunity closest at hand), and May 22 (people want to give you things today. Don’t be shy . . . or picky)

Duck and Cover on May 18 (are you courting disaster by re-engaging what might be considered a dangerous element? Beware self-sabotaging tendencies), May 20 (this is the time of year when energies are low. Take extra precautions with your mental and physical well-being), and May 21 (you’re getting tired of the near misses, but there’s something to be said for the fact you’re getting closer)
