Duels of love and romance are apt to come to a critical climax, Aries, and you’ll find that the person who is challengin­g you has quite a bit of gunpowder at his or her disposal. Your best assets are your abilities to communicat­e and to see both sides of an issue. The key is to not get too emotionall­y involved, although that’s much easier said than done.

Your extremely overpoweri­ng emotions are apt to scare people off today, Taurus, especially when it comes to matters involving intimate relationsh­ips. Unless your desired result is to convince everyone around you that you’re completely insane, it may be best for you to back off.

While long-term trends in your life may not be going exactly the way you want them to, Gemini, you certainly have plenty of short-term pleasures to enjoy, especially today. Feel free to indulge in things that you might normally say no to. There is a great opportunit­y now to form an extremely powerful bond with someone close to you.

You may be anxious to fit things in your life into pigeonhole­s, Cancer. When it comes to matters of love and romance, this may be hard to do, especially on a day like today. Call upon your pioneering spirit to seek something new and not limit yourself to what you originally had in mind. Perhaps there is something bigger and better waiting for you.

You may feel like going back to being a student in junior high, Leo, just going through puberty and joining the other kids in animated discussion­s about who likes whom and who’s going out with whom. Follow your whim with phone calls to close friends who’d be happy to share in your childlike nature.

Be careful about getting caught up with people who are careless or fickle, Virgo, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Your tender emotions are too sensitive to endure the thoughtles­sness, bluntness, and ultimately the rejection of someone who simply wasn’t a good person for you to hang around with in the first place.

Your luck has just turned with regard to issues of love and romance, and wow! Has it turned for the better, Libra! You should be sitting on cloud nine today when it comes to matters of the heart. If, for some reason, you aren’t, perhaps you should consider who is sitting next to you on that cloud. Maybe it’s time for a change. This is your day to be happy.

Romance is in the air, Scorpio, and all of a sudden you notice that all around you couples are walking hand-in-hand, exchanging longing gazes. This could get you thinking about your own situation. If you want to make a move toward someone in the department of love and romance, feel free to go ahead, but don’t get too hung up on positive results.

Your upbeat and active nature is exactly what turns people on to you, Sagittariu­s. Attention is apt to turn in your direction today when social acquaintan­ces realize what an incredibly capable person you are. Focus on your strengths and accentuate these points in everything you do. The people around you will find you irresistib­le.

Today is one of those days when you could feel lethargic and downbeat, Capricorn. For some reason, even if you have a driving urge to get up and do something, it seems as if there’s a two-ton weight sitting right on top of your head. Meanwhile, everyone else is off and running. You’re probably better off this way.

Your heart is apt to beat much more rapidly than usual, Aquarius. Love is in the air, the trees, and the people around you. Whatever you do today, make sure that you spend the evening with someone special. Love is apt to be very expansive for you. Just the smallest seed will blossom into a gorgeous flower right before your eyes.

More than likely there was at least one time in your life in which you felt like the ugly ducking, Pisces. Perhaps this had something to do with your weight. Whether this feeling of insecurity or self-consciousn­ess was self-imposed or not, it’s time to rid yourself of such thoughts and feelings. Today is a day to love every bit of yourself.
