YOUR horoscope

For Tuesday, March 29, 2016: ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You’ll feel ready to accomplish what you want. An obstacle could slow you down midday. You are likely to find a way to jump over this hurdle. Be calm with someone older who might not grasp every detail of a conversation. Tonight: Try a new type of happening or cuisine.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your natural preference is to relate to others on a one-on-one level; you like that sense of closeness and understanding. Even in the workplace, you prefer individual conversations. Be positive when dealing with a friend who seems to create chaos. Tonight: With a favorite person.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Defer to someone who has a need to be heard. How this person’s ideas turn out will have no reflection on you. If you feel the need to play devil’s advocate, be diplomatic. Don’t be surprised if someone unintentionally trips you up. Tonight: Continue as you have been.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

If you feel as if you are in a figurative pressure cooker, you probably are! A lot of people have expectations that they want you to meet. You’ll experience little give-and-take right now. The good news is that this too will pass. Tonight: Know when to switch gears.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

If you note an impulsive quality emanating from yourself, don’t suppress it — work with it. In fact, you might find it nearly impossible to do otherwise. Let a friend deal with his or her own stress. The time to lighten up the mood will be obvious. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Everything seems to backfire. You might not know when or how to say that you have had enough. A family member seems to be set in his or her ways. You are unlikely to be able to change this person’s mind or help him or her see an alternative. Tonight: Stay close to home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might need to ignore phone calls and emails for the moment. You have a lot of ground to cover, and you also should schedule a meeting ASAP. A loved one could become quite demanding at the last minute. Be patient. Tonight: Swap war stories with a dear friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be more involved in a situation than you would like to be, especially as there could be financial ramifications. Make your limits clear. Others seem to have expectations that you can’t meet. An unexpected development is likely to create chaos. Tonight: Treat yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Others wonder why some people feel awkward around you. By midday, you might give them a reason to be wary of getting too close to you. Take a walk, and refuse to let any negativity affect the day. A new friend is full of surprises. Tonight: Let go of stress through a hobby.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Others might not be as grounded as you would like them to be. Some of them will act flaky, and a family member seems to be working on being even more unpredictable. Don’t get caught up in any drama, if possible. You have enough to handle. Tonight: Get lots of sleep.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Express interest in someone else’s project or hobby. Unexpected news is likely to head your way, and it could surprise you. Relax with the moment, and go with the flow. Make it OK to be carefree and unpredictable. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one at a distance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Perform to your highest capabilities. Others seem to have high expectations of you. A conversation might wind up costing you more than you had anticipated, as the other party might ask for something that you weren’t prepared to give. Tonight: Up until the wee hours.
