Horoscope

for Thursday, March 23. This year a volatile happening might occur just when everything seems to be running smoothly. Because of the insight you have gained, you’ll give some thought to making a change in your lifestyle. If you are single, you could meet someone special. This person could be very exciting and always willing to cheer you on. If you are attached, the two of you often want to take off together! Defer to your partner more often, and refuse to be willful or demanding in your relationship. A LIBRA you encounter proves to be quite charming. ★★★ The pressure of having to be responsive could cause you and others to act in unexpected ways. Consider staying mum and/ or vanishing; otherwise, expect to have to walk on eggshells and choose your words carefully. Someone might have an attitude. Tonight: Stay cool.

★★★ You have the self-discipline to follow through on any decision you want to make. You might want to take the day off. Consider screening your calls and/or taking a drive in the country. Know that there is some confusion around your friends. Tonight: Be unavailable. ★★★★ You’ll observe how frustrated or upset others seem to get today. You also might be triggered by a matter that is close to your heart. You are likely to internalize a comment that a friend or loved one has made, even if it has nothing to do with you. Tonight: Lighten up the moment. ★★★ Your instinct to lie low and say little is right-on. There will always be another day to express your views. What goes on might shed a new light on your life and on your personal relationships. A parent or loved one could be affecting your domestic life. Tonight: Dinner for two. ★★★★★ Your phone might be ringing off the hook. Emails and texts keep appearing, along with an occasional knock on the door. Clearly, others have a lot on their mind and want to talk. Be open, and don’t give any negative feedback. Tonight: Meet up with a close friend. ★★★★ Be aware of your frustrations, disappointments and suppressed anger. You often say very little, and others perceive you to be unusually difficult. This trait could be emphasized today, so you’ll want to maintain some distance. Keep your receipts. Tonight: Try to use some discipline. ★★★★ You aren’t typically one to be overly emotional or difficult, but at this point, others seem to view you as being a bit off the wall. You might not even be aware of what is ailing you, but you recognize that something is off. Tonight: Go to the gym before returning calls. ★★★ Be sensitive to someone you care a lot about. This person might be a source of upset for you right now, but try not to internalize any of his or her comments. Observe rather than react. Take your time choosing the right response, and it will be more powerful. Tonight: Early to bed. ★★★★ You could be taken aback by what happens with a friend and/or a long-term wish. You might hope for certain events to occur, but understand that you can’t foresee what is heading down the path. Just know that everything will work out. Tonight: Where the crowds are. ★★★ You might not be sure why you feel stressed, but perhaps you are sensing some unstable energy. You are most likely to be affected when you are out and about or at work. Events that are triggered right now have been gaining momentum for a while. Tonight: Take a deep breath. ★★★★ You’ll discover how much energy you have, and will decide what you want to do with it. Communication flourishes despite a subtle disruptive tone from a key person in your life. Listen, remain sensitive and try not to escalate an issue. Tonight: Whatever feels right to you. ★★★★ You might sense a change afoot with a partner or close loved one. Do not push the other party unless you feel as though you would like to see some radical changes. Refuse to initiate any conversations about these matters today. Just recognize what is going on. Tonight: Chill out.
