LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might have been thinking about a plan and finally have come to a conclusion. Once more, you become Mr. or Ms. Friendly. Others will rejoice at seeing the happier you return. Still, someone could become somewhat difficult. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of taking a trip.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will be distancing yourself until it becomes obvious that you need to deal with a situation that could implode. Expressing your caring is important, especially when dealing with an older relative.

A call to someone at a distance will mean a lot. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A partner seems to have assumed control of a key matter. This change of responsibilities could be all right with you; however, you might want to discuss the long-term implications of the situation. A conversation like this is important. Tonight: Choose to do something new.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’ll be taken aback by a personal matter. The other party could be overly assertive, which might cause you to feel cornered. Initiate an important one-on-one discussion; in fact, insist on it. The balance of power will level off as a result. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your mood quickly changes midday. You are best when networking and socializing. Now is the time to kick back and be spontaneous. You might hear someone express his or her frustration; behind those feelings is an important message. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could be quite creative in the morning when faced with a difficult situation. Lighten up and have an important discussion once others seem more relaxed. The tone of those around you will be more significant than you might realize. Tonight: Make it early.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have been tenacious and diligent about getting a project done. You also feel empowered by its completion and by the comments you get. Later today, brainstorm with others to create and firm up a fun idea. Not everything has to be business. Tonight: All smiles.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You won’t hesitate to express your opinions, but you could come off a lot sterner than you realize. The key to success will be following through on a particular situation and maintaining a lighter attitude. Others will open up more easily as a result. Tonight: Get a lot done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Check out the cost of proceeding as you have been. Someone might be more than ready to chip in and help. Know that all the responsibility does not have to land on your shoulders. Make a point to accept someone’s gesture as it was meant. Tonight: Make weekend plans.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Zero in on what you want. You’ll have many supporters at the present moment, which increases your chances of achieving what you desire. You come off as far more sensitive than you think. You can’t always hide your feelings. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be slow to start, but once you get going, you are a formidable force to stop. You know what you want, and have no intention of settling. Someone at a distance could play a significant role. Tonight: If you can dream it, you are likely to be able to conjure it up.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have a matter that you would prefer to keep under wraps. Someone might try to coax it out of you, but you will resist. Be careful if you don’t want to spill the beans. A partner or associate will make an effort to discuss an issue that you both are well aware of. Tonight: Do for you.
