LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might need some time off. You seem to have difficulty stepping forward, especially since you feel as if you have not received all of the facts. Follow your intuition, and be aware of the options available to you in your day-to-day life. Tonight: Someone whispers in your ear.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Friends surround you. You know this, but you’ll derive a lot of satisfaction from also feeling it. With so many loved ones stopping by to visit, you will receive confirmation of your popularity. Make plans to bring everyone together. Tonight: Be where the action is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might wonder whether you really need to make an effort to join others. You would like to be somewhat freer. On the other hand, making the party rounds could be fun. Once you see one person after another, your plans will change again. Tonight: Give up being rigid.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You could be taken aback by all of your responsibilities, and might find it hard to relax at home. Plan a day to escape from your daily life, and you will relax. You’ll be amazed by the power of a different setting; you will feel rejuvenated. Tonight: Wherever there is great music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

One-on-one relating proves to be far more satisfactory than visiting in groups. Everyone knows this, which is one of the reasons why people often prefer to deal directly with others. Be willing to revise your schedule as the day becomes older. Tonight: Paint the town red.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Others seek you out. All you need to do is respond accordingly. You might wonder why there is a sudden change in activity. Use caution, because someone who is interested in you might not be the person he or she projects to be. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your energy might not be able to handle all the summer fun today. Consider relaxing the day away or going to a movie. Recognize that this is your weekend, too. Take care of yourself, because if you don’t, you won’t be able to extend yourself to others. Tonight: Your call.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Understand that you don’t need to say anything; you’ll just stroll the beach or join a friend for lunch, and almost immediately there will be a buzz of popularity circling you. Know that this type of interest doesn’t occur very often. Tonight: Choose a favorite pastime.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your family might have different plans for you from the ones you have made, which could create an awkward situation. You will try to squeeze in everyone and everything. Somehow, you could be on a collision course. Learn to flex a little. Tonight: Make your choices accordingly.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Too many people seem to change themselves in order to come out on top. You think this behavior is good gamesmanship, but others might not agree. Sometimes your need for control interferes with your authenticity. Be aware of how you come off. Tonight: Where the action.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your playfulness emerges, despite feeling as if you would like to go shopping or visit with a friend. Temptation seems to appear at every twist and turn, and you might decide to toss caution and self-discipline to the wind. Tonight: You are earning the reputation of a wild thing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Squeeze in a nap before heading out to all the social events of the day. You love catching up on your friends’ and loved ones’ news. Others might be eyeing you with rose-colored shades on. Take advantage of the moment. Tonight: Say “yes,” then decide where and with whom.
