LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19) You might feel as if you are in a pressure cooker, with so much to do and so much happening around you. Use unexpected events or news to reorganize your day. Confusion surrounds your efforts. It is best to do what you must by yourself. Tonight: Go with the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Zero in on what you want. Someone who is in a lessthan-great mood is likely to reveal much more of what he or she is thinking. You will need to keep this person’s thoughts in mind when making a decision. Tonight: You feel better and better as the night goes on.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could be in a position where you would prefer to make an important choice on your own. If you put off making this decision any longer, you will lose the opportunity to make it happen. It is pretty much now or never. Tonight: Be spontaneous, but know when to call it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Reach out to an older friend or relative whom you respect and who often gives you excellent feedback. Listen carefully to what is said, and ask questions if need be. You might need to weigh the pros and cons of a risk. By tomorrow, you’ll know what to do. Tonight: All smiles.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could feel as if you need to take action. You are feeling pressured from outside sources. You also are having difficulty coming up with an agreeable solution that makes everyone happy. Know that this might not be possible. Tonight: Reach out to a dear friend.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) One-on-one relating proves to be important in achieving your goals. You’ll need a loved one’s support as well. An unexpected response could throw you into chaos. Once you calm down, you will become clearer about what you want to do. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Let others feel as if they have an effect. A close friend could surprise you with a whimsical action. You might be stunned, but look beyond the obvious for the purpose. You’ll want to focus on what you want and need. Tonight: Let someone else make the choice.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might need to push past a controlling person. Engaging in this situation will not improve any aspect of your life. Move past the immediate issue, and do what you need to do. Use your high energy to reduce stress by eliminating a problem. Tonight: Head home early.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your creativity soars when facing financial matters that seem rather dicey. Pull back and give the issue at hand a hard look. Work on being realistic, and don’t get caught up in idealistic thinking. Often you can’t see the forest for the trees. Tonight: First return emails and calls.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be more subtle when dealing with a family member. When you are straightforward, you tend to hit a disagreement. Attempt to understand where the other party is coming from. Your sixth sense comes out during a conversation. Tonight: Visit with a neighbor or close relative.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to do a better job of listening and understanding what others are saying. You could witness an awkward reaction if you don’t acknowledge what you have heard. You need to give more credence to what others say. Tonight: Hang out at home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Focus on the long term, and refuse to get derailed by a different topic or activity. You know what you want, and if you pursue the appropriate path, you will land perfectly. Understand what is expected of you, and do your best to make it happen. Tonight: A late dinner.
