LOVE AND THE STARS

- JACQUELINE BIGAR

Aries (March 21-April 19) Curb your assertive side. Your intuitive self emerges when dealing with others. You know when someone is not on the up-and-up. A boss seems to believe that he or she is on top of a problem, but you might not feel the same way. Tonight: Watch your budget closely. Taurus (April 20-May 20) You refuse to back down, and others count on that trait. The Moon is in your sign, bringing opportunit­ies with it. Be responsive and return calls. Someone at a distance might let you know that he or she has had a change of heart, which will be a relief. Tonight: Confirm plans.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Take your time. How you see someone else’s vision could be quite different from how the majority of people see it. You might choose to keep your opinion to yourself for now. Your perception of a work-related matter seems to be transformi­ng. Tonight: Kick back and relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Zero in on what you want, and don’t sell yourself short. Others will respond to your efforts. Get to the bottom of a situation, and you will see all the different pieces fall into place. Be imaginativ­e in how you solve a hassle that emerges. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Allow others to give you their opinions. Revise your schedule to incorporat­e these conversati­ons. People observe what you are doing and saying. Before you know it, you could have even more support for a project than you had imagined. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to a loved one at a distance. You’ll see how much this person cares, and will hear what he or she has to offer. Your ability to stay grounded is likely to be emphasized. Others note this stability and often flock toward you. Tonight: Consider taking a trip for Labor Day!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Examine what you need and expect from someone you care about. Open up a talk with knowledge of what is happening. You will want to discuss what interests you. Be ready for a conversati­on that might be contentiou­s but noteworthy. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might not be ready for what is coming down the pike, but your imaginatio­n and ingenuity will step right in. Your ability to adjust has increased, and you will demonstrat­e this skill once more. Tonight: Agreement might feel like support. Play devil’s advocate.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will need to pace yourself in order to accomplish what you want. Do not push a family member too far. Listen to news. You might be ecstatic about informatio­n that comes forward, but take what you hear with a grain of salt. Are you being realistic? Tonight: Out late.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Allow your creativity to emerge when you sense that something is off. Follow through on your priorities, but feel free to revise your thinking, if need be. You seem to say the right words at the right time. Tonight: Seek out a friend or associate for dinner and some company.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Remember that the basics count. If you’re feeling out of sorts, or if you think that something is running amok, confirm what you are sensing. You could stop a problem from arising by following through on your intuitive hunches. Tonight: Happily head home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel as if you are in a haze and not exactly sure of what is going on. A discussion with a friend will make your contentmen­t soar. Someone around you could be two-faced. Be aware of this tendency, and keep your distance. Tonight: Where the crowds are.
