Love and the stars

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You can do only so much to avoid a misunderstanding. If you swallow your anger too much, you could become explosive later. Experiment with the middle road for solutions. Many ideas and different styles of relating could come forward. Tonight: Go along with the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You could be in a position where you need to have a serious discussion with a child or loved one. Know that clearing the air sufficiently will take talent and smart planning. Goodwill and smiles mark the end of this day. Reach out to a friend. Tonight: Only with a favorite person.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might notice that your inner tension is mounting and that you need an outlet. How you decide to direct your energy is your choice, but many of you will focus on your home or personal life. A disagreement or a significant change could be in the offing. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A friend or loved one reaches out to you. A conflict could arise from out of nowhere. Do your best to understand what is bothering the other party. Initiate a conversation by expressing your concerns. Your compassion helps smooth out any ruffled feathers. Tonight: Clear the air.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have been. You could find that if you don’t slow down or stick to a tighter budget, you could cause yourself a problem. Be aware and take action before you create a problem for yourself. Tonight: Clear out errands on the way home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A loved one might act up because he or she wants more say in the interactions that take place between you. You need to decide what your objective is when relating to this person. Don’t worry — you will know what course of action feels appropriate. Tonight: Let go of a hassle.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will want to maintain a low profile right now, no matter what happens. Use caution with anyone you meet today, as some people might not be everything they claim to be. If you can, refuse to take action for the time being. Be more observant. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You could be more in tune with what is occurring. Follow through on a friend’s invitation. This person sees a situation differently from how you do, and offers some helpful feedback. You might need to sit back and consider your alternatives. Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might feel as if you must openly express your interest in a professional or community issue. All eyes will be on you in anticipation of a response. Listen to your sixth sense, and follow through on what needs to happen. Do this, and you will land well. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You could have a strong reaction to what you are hearing. You might want to take a walk to clear your head. You will feel much better as a result, and will be able to make the right decision. Express your playfulness with a loved one. Tonight: Wherever you can hear great music.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You relate best on a one-on-one level. You might want to avoid getting involved in a group happening. Speak up, and know that you can stay at home or make new plans, depending on your mood. Discussions need to be on an individual level. Tonight: Be a duo.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Defer to a partner or loved one. Though you do not always see eye to eye on certain issues, you have quite a few opportunities that will appeal to both of you. Learn to work together, and try to give in to this person’s desires more often. Tonight: Listen to a request from a higher-up.
