LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19) You’ll express exactly what is on your mind. Don’t be overly concerned if you witness a lack of response. Others are quietly weighing the pros and cons. Don’t be surprised if someone pulls you aside at a later point to discuss your ideas. Tonight: Nap, then decide. Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be at a point where you can’t seem to come up with the right answer. A partner is likely to pitch in and help you get through a problematic project. Say thank you in your own way. This person might have an attitude, but don’t let it get to you. Tonight: Return calls. Gemini (May 21-June 20) Make time for a conversation, even if the other person is reticent. You could be overwhelmed by what you hear. Try to remain supportive and positive when dealing with this person. Give more thought to what he or she shares later in the day. Tonight: Off to the gym. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Stay close to home. A conversation could come up that gives you food for thought. You might feel as if you are being pushed in a certain direction, but need more time to consider your choices. Don’t forget to schedule a dentist appointment. Tonight: Add some spice to the night. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Make an effort to break through someone’s emotional walls. You can be charming and kind, but unless the other party wants to open up, it won’t do any good. Let the issue go if you can’t break through. Give this person some time and space. Tonight: Head home. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You sometimes take your innate skills for granted, and as a result, others do as well. Take some time to yourself to recognize what you have to offer, and refuse to let people take advantage of you. Tonight: Hang out with a pal at a favorite place. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Handle as many important matters as possible today, as your charisma and intellect are peaking. You have an interesting financial predicament coming in. You need to be more aware of your spending. Tonight: Say “yes” to an irresistible offer. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Lie low and listen more closely when engaged in conversation, no matter whom you are dealing with. As a result, you are likely to discover what the other party’s priorities and character traits are. You will learn a lot. Tonight: Beam in what you want. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Don’t avoid a get-together. Remain sure of yourself, as your presence does make a difference. Be responsive to inquiries, and be willing to share your thoughts. You have strong ideas, and you’ll want to use them to help others. Tonight: Make it early. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You stand out when involved with others. You give perceptive feedback, which helps people get past limited thinking. At the same time, they don’t feel as if you are talking down to them. Recognize your limits in this role. Tonight: Where the crowds are. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you’re feeling triggered by a situation, step back and do more listening, and be aware of your reactions. You might want to figure out when you first felt these feelings. You are likely to end up taking on greater responsibility later in the afternoon. Tonight: Not to be stopped. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be delighted yet surprised by how much someone else wants to do for you. Relate to this person on a one-on-one level to draw him or her out more. Be willing to make calls and run some important errands later in the day. Tonight: Use your instincts well.
