HOROSCOPE TOPPICK MAY-JUNE (2019)
Performance Award (Youth) Best Actor in a Musical at the Broadway World Dallas awards. Best Actor Art Centre Theatre. Photographer : Juliet Albuquerque Photography
CRUZ
ALBUQUERQUE
Aquarius prepare for various efforts of manipulation. Aquarius will open it in the beginning of the sixth month and he or she will discover one surprise after another. Aquarius may appreciate a lot of new and previously unknown shades of love and welcome precious details of human relationships.
Pisces will find a four-leaf clover even in such accident. The horoscope tells us that despite harvest is still far away, Pisces are waiting for a rich mental yield. A fertile plantation, a new wind in the sails, a big leap, a spring of activity. Pisces will have the ability to name problems but also to listen carefully and recognize the difficulties that are emerging on the horizon.
Aries, May will turn into a golden mine, from which you can extract the wealth of immense value. Aries, you will tower like a single mighty oak. Horoscope shows that minor but interesting plots may affect your life significantly. Horoscope portrays the mental condition of Aries roughly as feelings and thoughts will be like corn seeds. If they get too close to the heat (love, inspiration), they will start exploding like a real popcorn.
Taurus, the horoscope reminds you that you should be watchful.2019 should be perceived as genuine challenge to a smoother pace of life. June is a challenge to stop and think twice. Learning and absorbing new knowledge or skills will be more important than ever.
T
Gemini will have a wonderful chance to overcome fear. Gemini, at the end of the month you should relax with the feeling that the path ahead is beautifully straight and clear, without any apparent obstacles. You can chase away with one simple wave of your hand.
At the age of 5 he exercised his musical talent, singing and dancing while doing a cover song/video ‘Be bop a Lula’ on You Tube as part of a mom & son production.
Words can act as a lethal poison. Simply there are people who feel incredible pleasure when they can humiliate someone, scare or force to cry. focus on many unfortunate people who have stuck on the street or in a refuge. Consider whether you do not owe more than you can repay in the long term.
his polite, well mannered, talented 6th grader belonging to Pioneer Heritage middle school in Frisco / Texas, is a bundle of joy with a heart of gold. Always positive and ever willing to help a friend in need. His innocent spontaneous laughter can brighten up the darkest room.
That enkindled a fire in his belly to perform on stage. Although he was exposed to gymnastics, swimming and soccer, he preferred the arts and enjoyed sketching. He started learning the piano and later took up hip hop lessons for a short while and learnt a bit of dancing with his mom also a former singer/dancer.At the age of 7 he won the 1st place at an all Dallas talent hunt ‘ Audition America’. Loved by his colleagues in elementary, Cruz was voted student councilor for two consecutive years by his fellow students. Cruz admits it gave him a sense of responsibility and a boost to his self confidence. He later went on to act in the musical ‘Cats’ where he played the role of ‘Munkustrap’. Little did he know that he would be nominated for the Performance award (Youth) Best Actor in a musical in the Broadway World Dallas Awards, including over 100 cities across America, Canada, Central and South America, Europe and Asia, and WIN it !!! Cruz then went on to win the Best Actor (Youth) at the Arts Center. When asked what he would like to become when he grows up ? He excitedly replies,” An animal Doctor and an Actor !” He also happens to be the nephew of The Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi and former MTV VJ/ Celebrity chef Maria Goretti Warsi, so I guess acting runs in the family .We will just have to wait and watch J

Capricorn simply deserves to rise his/her own flag at the end of a successful journey. It will positively affect your self-esteem and love. Best ideas will strike you right in the morning. Capricorn can easily resemble a bottle of champagne that cannot stop the flow of delicious bubbles after uncorking.
MAY + JUNE
Leo will know what a real team fight means, instead of being especially wicked to retaliate, think of the pride you wear in your chest. Leo will keep his or her honesty and noble face only with a cold head, rather than drawing colts first. you will pull a great idea out of your pocket that inspires the whole world.
The horoscope for Virgo shows that May is an opportunity to move from the stereotype towards original and unexplored territory of life. Virgo will be swallowed by some sort of mental storm demanding profound life change. Virgo may be particularly sensitive to rhythm and music. Indeed, Virgo may not be inclined to melancholy at all; especially when there is enough sun in the sky.
Horoscope says, a whole new life story starts for Libra. Libra will get a stunning view and elevating celestial impression. Libra understands that love and human relationships are a series of moments that follow each other like morning, noon, evening, and night – like inhale and exhale.
Nothing will help to calm your nerves as much as the countryside, all natural elements and the contact with original Earth's energy. Scorpio himself/herself will know where the sun rises and where the clouds are darkest. you will be the champion of debate and conversation. But one minute of crying gets a whole day full of joy and brilliant self-confidence.
Sagittarius may become the dictator of inspiration! Sagittarius may first give just a discreet sign and then clearly show that his / her charisma is a powerful magnet. Sagittarius as a person who can recognize and preserve true values and who will be a pioneer or at least a cute romantic dreamer that, however, may charm others completely.
