LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19) Generally your communication excels, but when others remain nonresponsive, you can get very upset. What you choose to do is likely to shake up the status quo, but it might not draw the response you desire. Tempers suddenly could flare up. Tonight: You need to relax a little. Taurus (April 20-May 20) A caring gesture will warm up emotional waters. You can be direct as long as you are nonjudgmental and exhibit depth and caring. A friendship will allow you to spread your wings and understand others better. Let your fun side emerge. Tonight: Enjoy every moment. Gemini (May 21-June 20) Listen to a loved one before you make a decision. Someone might be whispering gossip in your ear rather than facts. Go directly to the source. Remain on top of what you need to do. Express your feelings in a way in which they can be heard. Tonight: Respond to a friend. Cancer (June 21-July 22) You could be past the point of no return. Your ability to have a discussion despite someone’s manipulation and some excess anger might surprise even you. You tend to understand this person better than he or she understands him- or herself. Tonight: Say little for now. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Much is happening behind the scenes. The less you say, the more information you will get. Someone who cares a lot about you might not be able to express it. Be kind to this person, as you don’t get friends like this very often. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone you need to answer to or who can cause commotion in your life could be quite enthralled with what you are doing. This person might be unwilling to share his or her thoughts. Pressure builds around a decision to break past barriers. Tonight: The world is your oyster. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might not realize how important you are to someone. As a result, you could feel left out. Make a call to a loved one and have a long-overdue discussion. Be aware that communication is off right now. Proceed with care. Tonight: Be more forthright. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your understanding of others easily could pay off. A friend will seem calculating and cool, but he or she could be quite emotional. You’ll see through this person’s defenses, but you might choose to not let him or her know. Tonight: Buy a token of affection for a loved one. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel as if a boss or an associate tends to be overbearing. You might want to run away. Perhaps a discussion at a later date would be appropriate. A family member, who likely will have good intentions, could make the situation worse. Tonight: In charge. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone you care about. Your ability to make a difference will take you down a new path. You could see a situation in a totally different light as a result. Be careful not to be too distracted. Tonight: Listen to an option that you have not yet thought of. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel as if a partner is too controlling about a financial matter. Be careful if you are unhappy, as you are likely to do whatever it takes to stop overthinking the issue. A family member encourages you to spend. Ask yourself why. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Your emotional mood could evoke a strong reaction from someone who is often too much in his or her own head. Bypass this person and get to the root of the problem. You might not be able to clear the air immediately, but you will soon. Tonight: Visit with a friend.
