JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

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)

Tension builds slowly, as you seem to be handling more and more responsibility in your life. Ask for what you need and want. You could be surprised by what others offer. Communication marks the afternoon. Tonight: Invite friends to join you for dinner and games.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You instinctively know that you want to be in the background of certain events that are unfolding. Pitch in when needed, but drop your ego and need for praise. You might hear a comment that you judge as hurtful; refuse to let it bother you. Tonight: A good meal can improve things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are able to deal with multiple situations at once. Others feel as though they can share their feelings with you, even if you often make light of your own. You might discover that a close friend experiences feelings similar to yours on certain topics. Tonight: Be in the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Carry on as much as you’d like, but know that, ultimately, the responsibility for what goes down will be yours, and no one else’s. Tame your normal moodiness. Make wise choices for you and for those you care about. Consider yourself fortunate. Tonight: Try a different approach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be amazed by what others are saying and doing right now. It could feel as if someone has uncorked a bottle of hidden personality and characteristics. Throw yourself into the moment, at least intellectually. Tonight: Detach, and consider what is being revealed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to push away an emotional current by becoming extremely critical. Do you really believe that will work? The experience of being involved in these intense moments could play into your life over and over again. Tonight: Don’t worry -- just go with the flow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might consider screening your calls for now. You’ll want to investigate a certain situation thoroughly before choosing to get involved. Throw yourself into the whirlwind of activity going on around you. Listen to your inner voice. Tonight: Embrace whatever emerges.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are a realist -- at least, most of the time. You’ll take a hard look at someone else’s resistance. As you try to grasp what is going on with this person, consider your thoughts and how you might be judging him or her. Opt for a sensitive talk. Tonight: Pay bills first, then decide.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Walk out the door and step into your next adventure. If you’re joined by a child, head to an amusement park. If you’re with a friend, you could decide to take off on a day trip together. Conversations become more vibrant as a result. Tonight: What’s holding you back?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might feel a bit out of sorts when you wake up. Remember, even you need a break from time to time. Choose to be a couch potato. Read the newspaper, or watch a favorite movie. Play and interact with others on your own terms. Tonight: Time to recharge your batteries!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Make time for yourself early on. You could be overwhelmed by all the invitations you receive and all the heartfelt chats happening around you. You will want to avoid a conflict at all costs, so be clear and responsive. Tonight: Turn off your phone, and refuse to answer the door.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t let your finances ruin what could be a fun day. You can have a great time with loved ones without overspending. Test out this concept and see how many new experiences come up. Handle an important issue accordingly. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.
