LOVE AND THE STARS

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Passions will run high, and many people could become quite controlling as a result. Plans are likely to change, and it might involve throwing a fun party at your home. As soon as you have more free time, opt to be more spontaneous. Tonight: Only what makes you happy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might not feel up to snuff, or perhaps you just want to stay close to home. You’ll share much more of what is going on with a close loved one. At the same time, you’ll attempt to help this person move out of his or her funk. Tonight: Do whatever feels good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Touch base with friends, but know that you will be inviting an element of disruption into your life. For example, you never seem to know what to expect with one key friend. Finish up a home project before you decide to hook up with others. Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Avoid a controlling friend if you want to free up some extra time. A call could come in that encourages you to get more tied into a project. Make it OK to say “no” if you need or want to. You are the only one who can take proper care of yourself. Tonight: A must appearance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might want to rethink a decision that heads in your direction. You seem to be encountering more than your share of angry people, and you could join the ranks just by dealing with them! Your instincts will take off as pressure starts to build. Tonight: Opt for different.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be careful with your finances. You might be a big spender, and a friend could have strong feelings about how you handle your money. Avoid an angry discussion. Realize that you have other assets, like your precision and efficiency. Tonight: Let someone else treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It appears as if you could be angered easily. Take some time for yourself. Try to root out what is happening. A discussion with a caring friend might be helpful. Have a conversation with those who understand you. Tonight: Only accept an invitation if you really want to participate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Not everything you do has to be work. You can take a break and pop over to a friend’s house for a Memorial Day get-together. You need a break, and you will enjoy taking one. Make it OK not to leave the party early. Tonight: Get into the fireworks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A friend could be unduly pushy or angry. You might wonder what needs to happen in order to have this person relax. You could discover that he or she is quite upset, but probably not with you. A talk likely would help. Tonight: Add some spice to the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Honor what is happening with a loved one. As involved as you are in this person’s life, make a point of dropping by to say “hi.” Visiting with others energizes you and helps remind you of why you are in the present situation. Tonight: Head home, but only when you are ready!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Keep asking important questions, and realize that others might not be able to access the answers easily. Give your friends some space to figure out what to do. Make calls, and invite others over for a fun get-together this Memorial Day weekend. Tonight: Go with the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might want to be a little less frivolous with your spending. You have a tendency to overindulge. Resist that inclination, or else you might not like the results. Let others pick up some of the costs involved with a friendly get-together. Tonight: Go with a loved one’s choices.
