LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19) You might be overthinking a problem that you feel you must handle today. A serious talk with a loved one could result in an effective solution. Tune in to your instincts if you feel someone or an offer is too good to be true. Tonight: Get together with a friend for dinner. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your creativity dominates the early morning. You might wonder why someone seems so serious. In an attempt to change this person’s mood, you might cause a problem. Try to listen to what he or she has to say, and honor his or her feelings. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. Gemini (May 21-June 20) You seem to have the right words at the right time, only someone might not hear them. This person could be too wrapped up in his or her own issues. The unexpected will occur with a friend or in a meeting. Tonight: Finish up any important work, then decide. Cancer (June 21-July 22) You’ll want to initiate a conversation in the morning, yet as the day goes on, you might have mixed feelings. You will gain a new perspective on this matter once you detach from the thought of having the actual talk. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert on the way home. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) A conversation will let you know that you and a friend are on the same page. A child or loved one could distract you, which is likely to make it difficult to pay attention to this person. Consider taking part of the day off. Tonight: Make light of the moment. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your high energy might be off-putting to those who are experiencing a slow start to the day. Others won’t be as positive or as open as you seem to be. By the afternoon, consider getting a head start on holiday shopping -- at least make a list. Tonight: Run errands on the way home. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be out of sorts in the morning, but by the afternoon, you’ll feel a change in energy. Make an important phone call or start an important project. A partner or loved one could act in the most unpredictable manner. Remain nurturing and kind. Tonight: All smiles. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In the morning, there could be an awkward moment or two with a friend, but you’ll still be able to complete whatever you are doing. In the evening, you might be doing a lot of thinking. Do yourself a favor and don’t jump to any conclusions yet. Tonight: Play it low-key. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be much fussier than you realize, and it is likely to cause a problem. It is important to know when to let go of certain issues, especially when dealing with others, as they could personalize your comments. The afternoon allows a key meeting to go smoothly. Be ready to encounter an awkward moment or two. Tonight: Catch up on weekend news. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Detach, and try not to get involved in a situation that might be difficult to handle. With a broader perspective, what might have seemed like a big issue suddenly will be irrelevant. It would be smart to let others deal with it in the way they want. Tonight: Till the wee hours. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with others directly, as you are likely to benefit from having one-on-one conversations. Some of you could be eyeing a major change within a relationship, while others might be about to meet someone new. Tonight: Daydream all you want. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow greater give-andtake between you and others. Have a conversation with someone whom you rarely speak to but who often facilitates your life. One-on-one relating will be highlighted in the afternoon. Tonight: Continue the theme of togetherness.
