ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You have a hot temper, which seems to emerge from out of the blue. You care about others and easily could lead them with a torch in hand. A partner adds depth. Tonight: Say “yes.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You will deal with others effectively, though you might need to express your frustration in a way that can be heard. A serious conversation might be the natural outcome. Tonight: Try a new spot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You could be emotionally strung out with everything that you want to accomplish before the holidays. A partner pushes your buttons in a conversation. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

HHH You could be suppressing your feelings. You might not realize the cost, but you will, given some time. Fatigue and a lack of spontaneity easily could be the result. Tonight: Take a brief walk.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will find it imperative to have the mistletoe appropriately hung. If ever there were a time for romance, it is now. Tonight: Express your irritation about a workrelated matter.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might feel pulled in two different directions. You tend to juggle many responsibilities and come out ahead. You are likely to succeed easily. Tonight: Head home early, if possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH True to form, you have taken a risk and left a great deal of the holiday preparations to the last minute. You might need to do whatever else is part of your routine. Tonight: Order some take-out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH This holiday flows seamlessly, unless you have negative feelings. You might want to clear the air before everyone gets together. Tonight: A conversation catches you by surprise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to make a statement without using any words. What you do will delight others. Sometimes words can create expectations rather than the essence of what you are feeling. Tonight: Avoid a power play.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You sense that a lot is going on behind the scenes. You can’t seem to get someone to spill the beans, hard as you might try. Let a secret remain so. Tonight: Get some R and R — you need it!
