HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, March 9, 2017: This year you move to a new level of understanding when relating to different personalities. You learn to judge others less as you accept new ideas and different cultures. You relax with the moment and are more spontaneous. If you are single, try not to push someone to commit too soon. You will meet people more easily than in the recent past. If you are attached, the two of you connect on an even deeper level. Work through any nervousness by taking on a new hobby or sport together. LEO often makes you daydream.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ You will note a change in your energy and in what you can accomplish. You will want to work with others, but might not want to be the go-to person if your finances are involved. You tend to say “yes” too often, especially now. Tonight: Time for some fun and games. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ Mars enters your sign today, and extra energy becomes accessible to you. If you don’t have a good outlet for your energy, you could become more quarrelsome than you realize. This planetary change also could add to your magnetism. Tonight: Run an errand or two. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★ You might become rather selfdestructive right now. If you can’t have your way, you will internalize your feelings. You might want to update or revitalize an important relationship in your life. Take some much-needed personal time. Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★★ A new friend could enter your life in the next few weeks, or an existing friend might become more dominant. Be willing to set boundaries, especially if this person’s requests make you uncomfortable. Explain where you are coming from. Tonight: Treat yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Others see you as highly capable and very magnetic. Your creativity emerges, no matter which way you turn. You would like to have someone understand you better, but the drive to do so needs to come from that person. Be reasonable with a request. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You are all smiles as you attempt to have a discussion. You could be dealing with a personal or work-related matter. You are likely to make quite an impression on someone who seems sophisticated or knowledgeable. Tonight: Say less and listen more.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You will want to connect with someone you care a lot about. This person might be more divisive than you realize and could be a source of stress. Your best bet would be to do little and detach. See more of what this person is made of. Tonight: Opt for dinner for two.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ You have an unusual opportunity to move forward, despite someone else’s opposition. In fact, this person’s reluctance often pushes you to move forward. Stay clear of this negative energy, and make choices for you. Tonight: Say “yes” to a friend’s somewhat wild idea.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ Take an overview. You might opt to make a resolution or get a fresh start in an important area of your life. Do not hold back if you’re interested; dive right in. You might need to use caution around spending, especially if you’re considering making a change. Tonight: Say “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You could be sorry that you have missed out on so much in your life. You know what is necessary and worth doing. Stay on top of a project, and don’t let others distract you. A partner will work with you to achieve more of what you desire. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ If you make the first move, you might not like the results. If you hold back, you will love all the attention and flattery you receive. Clearly, there is an interest in what you are doing, as others want to get to know you better. Tonight: Go along with what someone else wants.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ You know what you want to do. When passion is behind a project or a decision, you are likely to get better results. Others appreciate your authenticity. Be careful in the next few weeks about how you express your anger or frustration! Tonight: Take time for some personal matters.
