Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday:

for Tuesday, March 21. This year you often feel tense and conflicted. Determining the source of such distress might be difficult at times. Tap into your inner strength more frequently. If you are single, you find that you tend to be conflicted about your feelings for someone before you date him or her. Live in the moment, and you will know what to do. If you are attached, the two of you often have different points of view. Understand and respect each other’s differences. CAPRICORN is firm and as strong-willed as you are.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

★★★★ You might be on top of your game, but the rules seem to be changing right in front of you. Listen to your instincts, especially with matters involving a public commitment. You might not be as clear-headed as you think. Confirm meetings. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

★★★★★ Reach out to someone you care about. Discussions between you are likely to open up several doors. A friend plays a big role in what is happening, as he or she helps you achieve your goals. Clear up a misunderstanding before it worsens. Tonight: Feed your mind some candy!

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★★ One-on-one relating will be instrumental in making your day successful. A partner might be controlling because he or she is determined to get his or her way. A friend pushes you hard and might incite some anger. Back off, if need be. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

★★★★ You will want to defer to a partner or strong friend. A boss or someone older could become irritated at the drop of a hat. Try to take in the long-term implications of what is going on. Curb a tendency to go overboard. Tonight: Go along someone else’s suggestion.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

★★★ You are focused on getting the job done. You could find it difficult to remain caring, as you need to concentrate on other matters. News from a distance is likely to trigger a discussion. Understand that not everyone will agree, but that’s OK. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

★★★★ Hassles are likely to appear, but you know you can manage them. Count on doing just that. You’ll want to schedule some time for a creative project with a loved one. Honor others’ serious moods, but refuse to get involved in the story behind them. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

★★★★ A friend could be quite stubborn about getting what he or she wants. You might want to resist this person’s requests, but ultimately you understand that you’ll need to work with him or her. A partner will get a lot done and quickly at that. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

★★★ You need to say and do what you want. However, you might hit an obstacle along the way. Your imagination emerges just in time to help you solve problems. Your creativity peaks, and you’ll have a strong drive to see a loved one. Tonight: Catch up on news over dinner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

★★★ Be aware of the ramifications of proceeding as you have been. You could be tired of getting a lot of pressure from others about money matters. Be creative in how you terminate a discussion. Remember, you do not want any hurt feelings. Tonight: Listen to a roommate.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

★★★★ Your ability to create better situations and to wield power emerges. Though someone close to you might attempt to block you, ultimately it will not work. A matter involving your home could be much more charged than you realize. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

★★★ Know when to pull back. A verbal disagreement won’t serve you well. In fact, the less said the better. Claim your power, and don’t allow others to interfere in your life. Schedule a mini retreat ASAP, even if just for a few hours. You’ll need it. Tonight: Do little for now.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

★★★ Zero in on what you want, and don’t allow the uproar around you to determine your direction. There is a financial matter that needs to be dealt with, so make some time in the near future. Know that you will need some time to go over it. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.
