ARIES (March 21-April 19)

A friend might not want to add to the craziness of the moment, but he or she will appreciate your thoughtful­ness. You could feel inspired to persuade this person to join you. Assess whether you are ready to handle the ramificati­ons.

This Week: Be impulsive after Tuesday; you will like what happens.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Reach out to someone at a distance. You often have a good time with this person. Decide to meet halfway. Not only will you get to see your pal, but you will get to take a break from the here and now. You’ll feel better than you have in a while, too.

This Week: Be more in tune with others and how they look at situations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You would be wise to tune in to someone’s fantasies and make them a reality, if possible. One-on- one relating is transformi­ng into a new set of skills that is likely to help many of your relationsh­ips. Go full speed ahead.

This Week: Take off this week ASAP. Maximize the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

What becomes clear is that you don’t have the control you desire. Your mind could be drifting to faraway lands. It will be rewarding to take off and enjoy visiting with those who live nearby. Don’t underestim­ate the effect of a change of scenery.

This Week: Others seek you out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

After the craziness of the past few days, you might need to indulge in a lazy day or two. You could be too tired to keep pushing so hard. Take a break. If you stay goal-oriented, you will put the finishing touches on a project.

This Week: A full moon provides an interestin­g twist to the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your imaginatio­n will enchant a loved one. You might have difficulty finding someone who has comparable values to yours. Understand that the outcome of a personal matter is dependent upon the time you are willing to put in. This Week: You could feel as if there is no way out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Take a day just for you; you will need it after a hectic few days. You might not be sure about the best way to proceed. Ask for more of what you want yet be willing to accept “no” as an answer. People could be having an off day.

This Week: Give 150 percent, and you might like the outcome.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 2 1)

Communicat­ion flourishes if you are willing to take a risk and get beyond ordinary feelings. You could be in a situation where it would behoove you to be more openminded. Be more childlike when making plans for later in the day.

This Week: You are in for some lively moments.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have been. By calling a halt to recent excuses and chaotic events, you are likely to permit a more open dialogue with someone whom you care a lot about. Listen to what this person says.

This Week: Speak your mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your ability to move a situation forward is likely to emerge. Others will observe how you handle a conflict between two different parties. You will be able to tell whether there can be a meeting of the minds. Proceed accordingl­y.

This Week: Curb wild spending.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A problem surrounds you, and clearing it out could take time. You will have little to no choice. Honor a fast change of pace. If you are prepared and can accept that you can’t control others, the next few days could be unusually rewarding. This Week: Enjoy every moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your creativity emerges, especially when in a long-overdue conversati­on with a dear friend. Your imaginatio­n knows no limits, and today is no different. Plug your ingenuity into recent conflicts. Listen to what others are feeling, too.

This Week: You might start Monday on a low note, but the week will end on a high note.

Happy birthday

This year you come to a unique conclusion about your social life. Test out your theory without becoming demanding. You could be surprised by the outcome. You often are inspired by a friend who has many different ideas. If you are single, you will feel far more complete as a duo. You will have many potential suitors to choose from. If you are attached, you love being with your sweetie. From later this year through late 2017, it will be possible to materializ­e a long-term wish. CAPRICORN is as savvy as you are with business, but perhaps not as good with love.
