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)

★★★★ Verbalize your feelings. You cannot underestimate the strength of your intuition and sixth sense. A loved one encourages you to speak your mind more often. Use caution if eyeing an idea or a risk; it just might be too good to be true.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★ Detach and assess your interactions. A friend or co-worker might be commenting on your spontaneity. That trait will be appearing more and more in your exchanges. You might even surprise yourself with your new-found freedom.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ No one can deny that you have a big personality. Some people might decide to distance themselves from you, as you tend to be a bit too much for them to handle. A comment might give you cause to think and/or act in a different way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★ You feel under the weather. Nevertheless, you might need to deny your instinct to cocoon in order to accomplish what another person wants. Note the surprise quality in your interactions with others today and in the near future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ The lion tends to roar with happiness when surrounded by friends. You could hit a home run, even though you thought you could be nothing more than a benchwarmer. Work on diversity with an eye to success; determination will make all the difference.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ Make that extra effort. Others will notice how hard you try, and how often you succeed. Endurance and positive thinking push you into the limelight. A surprise could be heading your way, which could involve travel or perhaps a special relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Detach and work on eyeing a personal conflict from the other party’s perspective. Pretend that you are this person, who also is seeking to be understood; try to walk in his or her shoes. One-on-one relating is the key to resolution. Be open to discussion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Relating with a loved one takes you down an entirely new path. You might not have thought that you could feel this complete until you experience this interaction. Recognize the importance of having this person in your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Defer to others, especially as they verbalize some great news. You might be weighing the pros and cons of a change in handling your assets. You will say what you feel is needed. Flow with the moment, and allow your adventurous side to emerge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ Throw yourself into a project and commit to being not only an idea person, but also someone who knows how to lead. The unexpected marks your creativity, but also could mark your ability to let go and enjoy yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ Listen to what is happening with a child or loved one. You express a willingness to let go and enjoy the moment if others are also in the mood to let go of problems. You might find that you can switch gears from work mode to fun mode quite easily.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Stay centred and allow greater give-and-take between you and others. If you find that you hit a road block, approach it and deal with it directly, or jump over it. Staying focused could determine the results of your work and any other project.
