For Wednesday, March 22, 2017:

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You won’t push yourself past a certain point, especially when it comes to making a provocative decision. Others might find you to be unpredictable in general. Do not be surprised at some of the comments you are likely to hear. Tonight: Surround yourself with friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Reach out to someone who often gives you a new perspective. Your day is marked by good luck, if you are willing to receive it. You gain unusual insight by detaching and becoming more of an observer. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Sorting through what is real and what is speculation might challenge you today. You know how to honor a fast change and get more of what you want by tapping into your creativity. A friend surprises you and catches you off guard. Tonight: Stay away from the crowds.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might be sick of a controlling person in your life. Slow down, and try not to react right away. Come from a more secure place before deciding how to handle this matter. Don’t play into his or her manipulations. A boss or parent might surprise you. Tonight: A must show.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Get as much done as possible. You have the ability to use the right words at the right time, which helps to melt others’ resistance. You also have the ability to accept new ways of thinking and new insights. You will need to use that skill today. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have what others seem to lack right now, which is a more optimistic perspective of what is happening around you. As a result, what is a boulder in someone else’s path is only a pebble in yours. Use care with any risk-taking. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

An important matter needs to be handled, and if you don’t take care of it, the issue will weave through the next few days. An associate continues to be too independent for your taste; try to rope him or her in before the situation gets worse. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Return calls, stay on top of emails and know what you want. You could have several discussions in which you’ll need to reveal more of your inner self. Your nerves might be frayed, so take a timeout if you can, even if only for a short time. Tonight: Run some errands.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Remain confident that you will achieve your goals and desires. Opportunities naturally seem to knock on your door. You might need to make some choices that you were not prepared to make. A family member is likely to shake up the status quo. Tonight: Make it easy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Know what is going on around you. How you view what you want could change radically in a day or so. Make no commitments, but entertain the possibility of many different options. How you express yourself might be quite unique and different. Tonight: You get a second wind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
