love and the stars

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A low-grade feistiness surrounds you, no matter which way you turn. Your temper could flare up. You inadvertently might snap at someone you look up to, or vice versa. Honor a need for fast changes, and funnel your energy into a pastime. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Play it relaxed, as others seem to be frantic for some reason. Someone could lose his or her temper over a change of plans. Emphasize detachment from stronger emotions. Come to an understanding about what triggers you. Call a dear friend. Tonight: Finally, time to relax.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your creativity perks up when dealing with a partner. You could feel challenged by circumstances out of your control. That feeling might be more in your mind than in reality. You need more feedback than you are getting from a loved one. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might opt to stay close to home — that is, until you have to deal with a key person in your life who is controlling and angry. Make it OK to take off; you don’t need to put up with this kind of behavior. Some of you might decide to change your plans. Tonight: Live in the moment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Speak your mind, but don’t be surprised by some of the outrageous responses you might receive. A partner’s mood is out of his or her control. This person might not be up for discussing what is bothering him or her. Encourage a conversation. Tonight: At a favorite restaurant.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might not be sure how to handle a money conversation. You know how you want others to think, but you also want them to express themselves. You could be exhausted by what is going on with a child. You are likely to witness a lot of disorder. Tonight: Indulge yourself.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will make a difference in a personal matter. You might be too tired to continue as you have been. Take a break from the hectic pace for now. It’s important to isolate yourself from some of the uproar happening around you. Tonight: Your wish is someone else’s command.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A retreat from reality might be appropriate, as many people around you seem to be out of sorts. Remain optimistic, despite being on the receiving end of someone else’s negative behavior. Ignore the fumes surrounding this person. Tonight: Choose a favorite spot to hang out at.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A friend or loved one is likely to get under your skin, and before you know it, a feistiness could emerge. Make plans when you’re feeling energized. You will be happiest going to a movie and dinner. A baseball game would work well, too. Tonight: Let someone else pick up the tab.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You could be in a situation where you are too tired to continue down a certain path. How you handle a parent or older person might not be the most diplomatic. Refuse to get into a feisty, sarcastic argument, as it will be impossible to undo. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Reach out to someone at a distance whom you don’t often get to see. Put yourself in a position where you do not need to listen to anyone’s negativity or grumpiness. Go to the movies, a concert or a sporting event. The less said, the better. Tonight: You are the leader of the gang.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Keep reaching out to a close friend or loved one. Your positive attitude will pay off when dealing with a neighbor who can be outrageous. You might not be interested in hearing all about this person’s ups and downs. Accept people as they are. Tonight: Choose a favorite pastime.
