LOVE AND THE STARS

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Unexpected developments could pull you away from a key activity. Communication seems to flourish. If you encounter a difficulty, initiate a conversation with a friend, and he or she will offer feedback. Touch base with a difficult associate. Tonight: Go with the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be a lot friendlier than usual. Perhaps you have had a sudden insight or a revelation that points you to a new attitude. Don’t push someone away, if possible. Respect your differences. Tonight: Your significant other or best friend might be uptight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll come up with many new ideas. You have a unique opportunity to share more of what is important to you. A discussion with a loved one could become animated, but not necessarily quarrelsome. Tonight: Be in the moment 100 percent. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your ability to understand what is going on with a child or pal might be challenged. It seems as if the other party might feel criticized when any question or suggestion is made. You might want to keep your thoughts to yourself. Tonight: Stay close to home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might decide to focus on a project and enlist others’ support. You could feel a bit odd around an associate or loved one. A real estate matter or domestic issue is likely to present a limitation. Don’t feel awkward -- just handle the issue. Tonight: Join friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your ability to handle pressure emerges. There might be one area of your life where you overindulge in order to relieve some stress. Take action, and be willing to verbalize what is necessary to correct the situation. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be more forceful than you realize. Share your bottom line with a friend in order to get some feedback. You have been more volatile lately, and it would be good for you to get advice from someone you respect. Tonight: Experiment with a new idea. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be pushing a lot harder than you realize. Listen to news more openly, and you’ll see how you can put a positive spin on a difficult situation. A new beginning becomes possible, especially if a close friend agrees with you. Tonight: Hang with a favorite person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might need to have a long-overdue discussion. You seem to see a matter differently from how a partner or friend sees it. A conversation will be necessary, even if you see little chance for agreement. Clear the air. Tonight: Add a festive element to a gettogether. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be more direct with someone in your life; otherwise, this person will have no way of knowing where you are coming from. You will be anchored in a discussion with a family member who likely will agree with you. Tonight: Get some exercise, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A friend might express his or her caring in a way that inadvertently causes you a problem. Explain where you are coming from, and remain sensitive to this person’s feelings. Someone you look up to could cause a problem; he or she needs your time. Tonight: Ever playful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take news with a grain of salt. One-on-one relating will take you down a new path. A partner could be angry and a bit upset. Give this person some space to consider his or her options. Stay as neutral and unreactive as possible. Tonight: Run an errand on the way home.
