LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You unintentionally could stumble into an either/or situation. You might find yourself caught in a control game. Walk away while you can. Passions run high when interacting with a loved one, as this interaction is much more fulfilling. Tonight: Full of surprises.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You could find the costs of this weekend to be too much for your taste. You will attempt to gain more control by eliminating an item or an event from your to-do list. Spend time closer to home and invite a friend or two over. Tonight: Allow a spontaneous happening to begin.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your awareness of what needs to happen could change as a result of someone’s caring actions. Your need to follow plans as they were made easily could be tossed to the wind. You’ll want to be with a loved one who wants to do something else. Tonight: Share some news.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might want to be more aware of what someone else wants. You don’t seem to have as much energy as you would like. This person is of the same mind as you, so make today a lazy day at home. Make the most of the lack of demands. Tonight: Not to be found.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Passions runs high no matter which way you turn. Your magnetism draws others toward you. Your smile will make someone feel special, but recognize how easily others misread you. Your warmth might be interpreted as more. Tonight: Right in the middle of a happening.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Tension builds because of what you believe someone else expects from you. Perhaps a discussion is in order. You can’t ignore a strong feeling you have about a person whom you frequently encounter. Ask for more of what you want. Tonight: Remain sensitive.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Look beyond someone’s behavior and consider what is happening within him or her. This person will be able to hide his or her feelings, but only for so long. Avoid bringing this matter up, as it could backfire. Instead, try to address your own feelings. Tonight: Where there is music.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Recognize that spending some quality one-on-one time with a special someone is important. Disruption and/or some insecurity could throw your plans into chaos. You can’t keep covering up your feelings by staying nonreactive to others’ behavior. Tonight: Clear the air.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your friends will remind you of playful children as they get into this holiday weekend. The activities they choose might be more adult, but the glee of being together can’t be hidden. Invitations keep coming forth. Which one you accept is up to you. Tonight: Join the fun.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be instrumental to someone’s festivities. You won’t mind pitching in behind the scenes or barbecuing the chicken. While in the midst of a happening and speaking to others, you will see a loved one in a new light. Clearly, this person misses you. Tonight: Togetherness works.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Whether you can be grounded enough for a conversation seems questionable, especially with someone who is serious-minded. Your playfulness and flirtatiousness is likely to delight a special loved one. Make no commitments; keep it light. Tonight: Full of mischief.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You could be in a position where you will have a lot to handle. Responsibilities weigh heavily on your shoulders, but try to prevent every moment from being charged with tasks. Lighten up, and you will gain more perspective on what must be done. Tonight: At home.
