Love and the stars

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You could be feeling generous yet cautious. How you deal with this conflict all depends on whom you are dealing with. If you trust someone, you have greater leeway. Be willing to evolve some of your ideas. You often come up with creative solutions. Tonight: Treat a loved one.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are in your element and could succeed beyond your imagination. To many people, you seem to present optimism and opportunity. Others often tap into your ideas to make their lives easier. You might make a last-minute change of plans. Tonight: Off to a baseball game.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Know that you don’t need to share everything that’s on your mind. A friend might try to get you to speak your thoughts. Observe what is happening around you. When you are not invested, you tend to be more successful. Try to catch up on sleep. Tonight: Be subtle about your plans.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Defer to others, and understand where they are coming from. Your ability to identify with people often proves helpful. A loved one will demonstrate his or her caring through a special invitation. With less responsibility, you will have some extra time. Tonight: Out and about!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are a force that can’t be stopped, no matter what others do. You might be unusually tuned in to another person or your friends at the moment. You have an opportunity to bring others together. Be prepared for a meeting to turn into a party. Tonight: Try something different.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Some of you might be too distracted to focus on anything except a situation that seems to be consuming your life. Prioritize, and complete what is on your mind first. Later, you will be able to pay more attention on other concerns. Tonight: Accept a spontaneous invitation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You feel very close to one person and want to spend time with him or her. What could be upsetting is how many people try to interject themselves into your plans. Look at the situation as positive and as a compliment. You can still say “no.” Tonight: Add some spice to the night.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Others want to be with you, and they exhibit very little patience. Someone tries to merge your plans with his or hers. You know how to set boundaries, so do just that. If someone cuts you off, let it be. This person will move on, especially if you don’t react. Tonight: Out on the town.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your ability to go with the flow has to do with your willingness to experience life in new ways. You might not always love what happens, but you are likely to be entertained. You probably need to adapt your plans to make room for an event. Tonight: Among the crowds.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You cannot help but respond to a very creative idea that a loved one proposes. You will learn much more once you say “yes,” and no longer will be so focused on your responsibilities, at least for a while. Relax while enjoying yourself. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If you stay close to home, you will feel a lot better. Invite friends over for a backyard barbecue. Express your fun quirkiness around the people you invite and see what happens. Others enjoy getting to know you better. Tonight: Your get-together could go till the wee hours.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel and act more openly, and you express a greater appreciation for your friends and immediate circle. You will do a lot of catching up on news with a sibling, neighbor or loved one. You probably need to get together with this person more often. Tonight: Accept a suggestion.
