Taurus (April 20-May 20):

★★★★★ Your creativity is enhanced by the moment. More and more, you let go of the conventional and try unique ideas. At times, you could stun others with this new and seemingly disruptive behavior. Tonight: Someone is clearly drawn to your uniqueness.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★★ You might have noticed how strong-willed a loved one has become recently. Perhaps the holidays create some feeling of negativity for this person. Keep smiling and let his or her ill humor flow over you. Tonight: Head home with a favorite dessert in hand.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

★★★★ A child could be more in touch with your feelings than you realize. In a discussion, you see how easily he or she reads you. With this knowledge, you might choose to relate to this person differently. Tonight: Be spontaneous. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): ★★★ Be aware of the costs of the next few days. Unexpected demands could easily deplete your checkbook. On the other hand, you have an opportunity to make a difference with a key person in your life who you want to impress. Tonight: Out and smiling.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

★★★ You might decide to be slightly less avant-garde or adventurous and more anchored on certain priorities. There could be errands or projects that need completion. Tonight: Respond to your own energy levels. You might need some sleep. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): ★★★★★ Your imagination seems to drift to faraway lands.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

★★★★★ Others might be more dominant, and you might not feel comfortable. You cannot change them, so get used to it. A family member or boss needs to get your opinion on a key matter but will not ask. Tonight: Be surprising.
