LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Speak your mind, and note others’ reactions. One person could be confused, and might need clarification. Do your best to verbalize the same thought differently. Keep communication flowing. Learning new approaches will only benefit you. Tonight: Join a friend at a favorite spot.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You finally speak your mind and clear the air. What you say and how you say it could change your interactions with a key person. Suddenly, you could find this person more receptive than you could have imagined. Tonight: Do not hesitate to discuss a hassle with a loved one.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You open up to a new way of thinking and handling life. Where this attitude comes from is not important. What is important is how you feel about this new stance. Don’t be surprised if someone responds in a confused way. Tonight: Let your hair down, and embrace the weekend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your high energy might be displaced today. Focus on reaching out to someone who isn’t always open to talk. It also is a great time to schedule a yoga class or some other type of relaxing activity. Letting go of what ails you is more important than you realize. Tonight: Return calls.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You could be in a bind and not know which way to go. Return calls and schedule meetings, and you might be surprised by how easily the answer comes forward. Confusion surrounds a partnership and finances. Tonight: Make some weekend plans with friends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could be in a situation where you need to assume greater control. Others are waiting for you to step up to the plate. You might not be as sure of yourself as you’d like to be, but you are not going to get more confident by just sitting on the sidelines. Tonight: In the limelight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

There is an underlying tension between work and your personal life, at the moment. You might need to pull back and decide whether you want to put yourself under such pressure. Is it worth it? Only you can answer that question. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care a lot about. This person always adds some fun and magic to your life. Though you might not be prepared for all the ramifications of renewing this friendship, you will enjoy being with this person. Tonight: Opt to be a duo.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A key associate and/or loved one reaches out to you. What you share could be a moment full of laughter. Remain sensitive to this person as well as to a dear friend who seems to be seeking you out. You’ll need to bone up on the art of diplomacy. Tonight: Let others call the shots.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You could be weighing the pros and cons of a personal situation. What is clear is that at this moment in time, the choices seems like an either/or response. Think outside the box and find a more amenable solution for everyone concerned. Tonight: Say “yes” to a special invitation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your creativity mixed with a willingness to get past problems makes you a lead runner in nearly anything you decide to do. It is quite clear to many people that a solution will come forward if they work with you. Make no money decisions today. Tonight: Ever playful.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might feel as if a personal issue must be handled soon. As long as you feel that way, you have to follow a certain path. Be aware of how much time you are losing from work or a key project when you deviate from your normal schedule. Tonight: Tap into your inner child.
