STARS

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

This year, you feel more in control than in the past. Conversations flourish. Many people might feel as if they can’t get enough of you, no matter what you do. If you are single, you are unlikely to settle down for a while. You enjoy meeting people, but you tend to attract suitors who are emotionally unavailable. Don’t worry; this trend will change from mid-October 2017 on. If you are attached, you and your sweetie will enjoy a quiet, intimate phase of your relationship. Aries often pushes your buttons in order to get a quick reaction. Maintain a sense of humour.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Much is going on behind the scenes right now. News or gossip you hear could send you into a frenzy. Avoid having a knee-jerk reaction. Opt to say little for now. Use more self-discipline and you will be happier as a result. You’ll know what to do. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Remain sensitive to those around you. What people disclose when they feel more comfortable might surprise you; vulnerability of that nature opens up many doors. Know that a boss or older friend appears to be unusually assertive. Tonight: Not to be found.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Try not to be so demanding. In a professional situation, the leadership role could be less desirable than you originally had thought. Curb a tendency to overindulge or to stumble into a recurring negative habit. A little self-discipline goes a long way. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

When you take an overview of recent events, you’ll gain a much more complete perspective. Once you walk in someone else’s shoes, you will be able to settle an issue that involves opposite points of view. Avoid going overboard. Tonight: On top of your game.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Deal with individuals as opposed to groups. Understand that you are likely to hear a response that forces you to declare your intentions more clearly. Chatter might be gossip or important information. Listen, but test out what you hear. Tonight: Follow the music.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Others will let you know in their own way that they plan to run the show. A discussion about their decision could be difficult to hear. Ride the wave of the moment and know that it won’t last forever. Act is if you are on vacation. Tonight: Spend time with a special friend.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

You likely won’t care whether someone else runs with the ball. You have a lot to do, and a little extra time will serve you well. A loved one could make an overture later in the day, but you might choose to do your own thing. Tonight: Say “yes” to an enticing invitation.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Allow more of your creativity to emerge. Others find you irresistible, no matter what you are doing. Curb a tendency to go overboard, whether you are socializing, shopping or simply visiting with a friend. Spending needs to be restrained to a degree. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Allow your adventurous spirit to emerge. You’ll discover the importance of remaining expressive and open. You know your limits; nevertheless, spending could be a problem. You let go of difficult feelings when you’re out shopping. Tonight: Think about weekend plans.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You have a lot more to say than you originally might have intended. Calls and meetings could go much longer than expected. Make sure you give the other party an equal amount of time to respond. Be more aware of others’ requests. Tonight: Off to the gym, then head home.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You are full of fun and you have the ability to come to terms with others. However, without even thinking, you might overspend in an attempt to please someone else and/or to express your enduring caring. Avoid sitting on any anger for now. Tonight: Speak your mind.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

When someone is faced with your sensitivity, he or she generally opens up. You have the ability to work through a problem with ease. However, a key person might not be as easygoing as you are, and he or she could become quite difficult as a result. Tonight: Be spontaneous.
