Love and the stars

- Jacqueline Bigar

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be willing to adapt your schedule. You will take the lead in a key project or idea. Feedback you get will be important in making a future decision. Work with the unexpected. Sometimes you underestim­ate the possibilit­ies of your talents. Tonight: Attend a meeting.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Emphasize the positive, and don’t waste your time on an unresolvab­le situation. Stay upbeat, and be ready to move in a different direction. A new beginning becomes possible. Stay on top of what is going on. The unexpected becomes the expected. Tonight: Among the crowds.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Keep reaching out for informatio­n that takes some effort to unearth. You have the energy and the wherewitha­l to succeed. A friend might shock you with his or her choices. Just accept that you might never be able to walk in this person’s shoes. Tonight: Feed your mind.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. How you handle a personal matter could change radically in the next few days. Your creativity soars, and though some of your ideas appear to be out of touch, many of them could be workable. Tonight: Swap news with a friend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be more direct in how you handle a personal matter. You are likely to see a fast change in others’ responses. Sometimes being blunt is necessary, and diplomacy needs to be tossed out. Remember that every person is different, and so are their reactions. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Pace yourself, knowing full well what will occur if you relax and simply flow with the moment. You need to have answers. Work through a problem by taking different points of view and working with equally effective solutions. A friend might act out. Tonight: Pace yourself.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If ever there was a time to express your wild side, it would be today. Your thoughts and ideas stem from an unusually creative moment, and carry several interestin­g ramificati­ons. You might opt to experiment with one or more of them. Tonight: Be playful with a child.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your frustratio­n might build to the point that you no longer can hold back. Express yourself clearly, but know that words said cannot be taken back. Show your diversity through expressing your more unusual ideas and solutions. Tonight: Above all else, be spontaneou­s.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

What is obvious is that you need to become more forceful in order to make your terms clear. Your efforts won’t come back without reward. You might want to keep your own counsel, but still be sure to listen to what is being shared. Tonight: You have some news to catch up on.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might need to change direction and handle a matter differentl­y. You could turn a loss into a win. Your perspectiv­e will help you gain success. Listen to what is going on with a friend who shares some important informatio­n. Tonight: Get more of what you want.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You express a resiliency that many people would love to have. Deal with a community issue, as others will respond. You are very fortunate now. Touch base with a loved one who means a lot to you. This person’s response could shock you. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your ability to move forward might be restricted in some way. This restrictio­n has more to do with you than it does with the actual situation. Go within yourself to see what is not working. You might discover a resistance to taking the next step. Tonight: At a favorite place.
