LOVE AND THE STARS

- Jacqueline Bigar

Aries (March 21-April 19) Kick back, and do some deep thinking. What might not work now could later. Don’t give out any ultimatums; if others don’t agree, let them be. You could be eyeing more responsibi­lity involving an older friend. Think before saying “yes.” Tonight: Not to be found. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Zero in on a long-term desire. A friend provokes you to think of what you most desire. Go for what you want. You might feel as though you need to reach out to someone at a distance. Catch up on this person’s news. Emphasize your goals and dreams. Tonight: Where the action is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone whom you often put on a pedestal. Plan on getting together with this person as soon as possible. You nearly always enjoy each other. Join in on what he or she is doing. A spontaneou­s happening could occur from out of nowhere. Tonight: Let the party go on.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to rethink a personal matter. What is happening around you could change, if you would like it to. When presented with a fun invitation, the only answer is “yes.” Be willing to travel a little further in order to meet someone halfway. Tonight: Follow the music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) When making a request, you’ll be as direct and charming as possible. Know that a friend could be acting a little wishy-washy. You might be stunned by this person’s automatic reaction. Recognize a need to play it cool rather than be authentic. Tonight: Visit with a loved one.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to others when you can, yet remain sensitive to your needs. Perhaps loved ones can throw themselves into an event and not feel inundated. You, on the other hand, are likely to feel overwhelme­d in the same situation. Give yourself permission to pull away. Tonight: Say “yes.” Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might not be as free as you would like to be. You have a lot on your plate that you need to clear out. Get to it, because you might want to enjoy your weekend. Your focused diligence pays off quickly. Do not postpone what you can do now. Tonight: Time to join pals.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity emerges when you are dealing with a new friend. Your sense of amusement is piqued. Understand that this person serves as a muse for you more often than not. You will see that you also inspire others, as they do you. Tonight: Allow a daydream to take over. Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You could be overwhelme­d about your emotional needs. You also might not be sharing them with a partner or close loved one. A friend could help you get past self-imposed restrictio­ns. Understand what is happening around you. Tonight: The action is at your pad.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Start moving through a hassle that has caused a lot of confusion as of late. Understand that no one is trying to sabotage the situation. Stay calm and centered. Reach out to a loved one who understand­s you and often offers helpful advice. Do not avoid a call. Tonight: Be responsive. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Going overboard can happen when you are with your friends or want to let off steam. When you are sharing your thoughts, your sensitivit­y could come to the surface. Do not be surprised by others’ responses. Stay as centered as possible. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Your emotions could dominate the moment. Recognize your unique intensity and ability to sense what others feel. Sometimes, you pick up on a close loved one’s feelings and don’t even realize it. Make an effort to reach out to someone you rarely see. Tonight: Where your friends are.
