Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday: for Saturday, June 30. This year you open up to more vitality. You do not flee from your feelings, as you have done in the past. Others relate more easily to you as a result. If you are single, you have your share of admirers. You might choose to date several people at once, or perhaps just one person who captures your interest. If you are attached, the two of you will work on your communication styles to become more in sync with each other. Your bond will evolve as a result. AQUARIUS has some offbeat ideas.

Aries (March 21-April 19): ★★★★ Communication could become unusually difficult. Even if you choose your words with care, you are likely to experience an off-the-wall reaction to them. Misunderstanding seems to float through the air. Clearing them up will take a nurturing attitude. Tonight: Hang with friends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): ★★★★ You understand the role of being a good role model. Both your integrity and listening skills evolve. Others find you, the stable Bull, to be somewhat unpredictable. A boss or older person could inadvertently put you in your place. Tonight: Be sensitive to others to avoid any disputes.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): ★★★★★ You seem ready to move on. You always seem to seek out a new system of thinking. Even with your good intentions, you could run into a friend who demonstrates more volatility than in the past. Give this person some space. Tonight: Try out a new type of cuisine.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): ★★★★ The ups and downs of the moment could be discouraging, especially with a volatile Aquarius who seems to be letting off steam. Try to support this person in working through his or her issues. Do not get upset by a radical change in plans. Tonight: Know that this too will pass.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): ★★★ You might be in the middle of a problematic situation, as a loved one goes on the warpath. You find this person’s actions disruptive, and he or she will hear your message. Don’t be surprised by the reaction you receive when you speak up. Tonight: Go out, live and enjoy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ★★★★ You might be witnessing a friendship flounder because of a misunderstanding. It could be impossible to determine how right you are or how right the other party is. You certainly are gaining a new vision and understanding of others and their reactions. Tonight: Do not overreact.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): ★★★★★ A loved one could be difficult to deal with, and you might want to pull back from interacting with this person. Nevertheless, be sensitive to a misunderstanding that could be brewing. Ask questions, if need be. Tonight: Don’t let someone’s judgment color your night.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ★★★★ You might be walking into a situation that could become even more volatile if you are not careful. A roommate or loved one seems to be on the warpath. You might be a trigger, though the issue is probably deeper. Be loving and compassionate. Tonight: Take an overview.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): ★★★ Your playfulness might not be received the way you want. You are in the mood for some fun; however, someone you care about could be downright angry, creating some negative feelings in you. Try not to allow this situation to become any worse. Tonight: Dance away stress.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): ★★★★ Your playfulness emerges, and someone easily might misread your actions. Others seem inordinately aggressive or overly reactive. Make it OK to let people know what you feel is appropriate behavior in this situation. Take a step back, if need be. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): ★★★★★ You finally feel energized and as if you can’t be stopped. Know that you could be a bit over-the-top. You don’t want to feel as if you have to walk on eggshells, but you might not have a choice, as others seem to be particularly fragile. Tonight: Help others enjoy the night.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): ★★★★★ You might want to express your thoughts to a loved one. You probably won’t want to share everything, but opening up a conversation is vital for this bond. If you feel irritated, give yourself a break. Go for a walk to work through some tension. Tonight: Add some fun to the mix.
