LOVE AND THE STARS

- JACQUELINE BIGAR

Aries (March 21-April 19) You could feel as if a bridge between you and a friend has started to crumble. Know that this problem doesn’t need to be long term. Some of you will have a second opportunit­y at a situation you nixed a while ago. Tonight: Don’t let someone else’s attitude color your night.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be more possessive than you realize. Others might be reacting without realizing it. Decide to do something to build yourself up. For some of you, it might be as simple as losing some weight. For others, it might be a little more difficult. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your way of dealing with a problem could be based on charming others into your camp. Though this move might be immediatel­y effective, it could cause a major backfire in the long run. Listen to your instincts. Seek a stronger bond. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You need to sit back and do some deep thinking. More informatio­n could be forthcomin­g. Note that some negativity surrounds you or is present in your thinking. Your inner strength comes from your sense of well-being. Depend on your instincts. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You have the unique ability to see past the obvious. In the next few months, make a choice and/or a change that suits you better. Be more forthright in your dealings with others today. A natural debate occurs, which could develop into a brainstorm­ing session. Tonight: Live it up!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel as if no one is responding to your inquiries appropriat­ely. You tend to see implicatio­ns that others don’t. Add more zest and happiness to the moment. Try to be more accepting of others’ views. Tonight: Do some shopping that you have been putting off.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Honor a fast change of pace. An event could take you to a new level of understand­ing. Do not fight the inevitable right now; just go with the flow, and you might see some changes. Give the situation time, and it will turn in your favor. Tonight: Let go of stress and do what you want.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Honor a change of plans that might not please you. Informatio­n could come up that shocks you and takes you in a new direction. You’ll want to postpone acting on it for now. You will see a difference in your attitude, given some time. Tonight: Schedule a massage for yourself.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You know the strength of your mind. A friendship could play a significan­t role in what goes down. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a child or loved one. You might not want to share what your perception­s are right now. Tonight: The only response is “yes.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might discover that being accepting of someone else’s ideas is more difficult than you originally had thought. The other party needs to understand the ramificati­ons of his or her idea. Offer this person some feedback. Tonight: Get a lot done. Return emails and calls.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will be met with quite a few surprises today, especially when dealing with a child or loved one. The excitement might start out as great, but remember that too much of a good thing could wear you out. Bypass a friend who is very sensitive. Tonight: Mischief lurks.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel tense when dealing with others, as you understand the fragility of those involved. However, you will know what to do. Do not obsess about personal matters when you are at work or with others. Trust in yourself. Tonight: Make a special meal for a loved one.
