LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Take charge of a situation rather than be spontaneous and impulsive. You could be dealing with a higher-up. Whatever is ailing you will be noticed. Prepare for a question or two. Use your instincts when handling an issue that keeps weighing you down. Tonight: Adjust to the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Take an overview, and you’ll gain a perspective that allows you to come up with a solution. Still, make sure your sources are trustworthy. A friend could be saying what he or she thinks you want to hear rather than what is true. Tonight: Surround yourself with music.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

One-on-one relating can be challenging, but with your skill set it doesn’t have to be. Listen to the other party carefully, and verify that you are correct in your assumptions. There is an element of confusion running through your day. Tonight: Out with a favorite person.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Defer to others, and do a better job of listening to what is being requested. Confirm what you believe you are hearing. No one intends to distort information, yet that could be a possibility. A loved one seems to be changing in front of your eyes. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You know where you are heading and why. Don’t allow someone else to derail your plans and/or objectives right now; otherwise, confusion will be the byproduct. Schedules often need adjusting, and you might need to change your plans accordingly. Tonight: Pace yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don’t allow others’ quandaries to get the best of you. Many people appreciate your listening skills but would prefer you to maintain a respectable distance. Understand that a child or loved one could be changing right in front of you. Tonight: Play it light and easy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might have a lot to do in order to get the results you desire. Just as you see a goal about to come to fruition, another obstacle seems to appear. Look at the end goal -- perhaps there is some quality surrounding it that is inappropriate. Tonight: Settle into a leisurely evening.

SCORPIO: (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be willing to express your thoughts and feelings, but give yourself leeway to change your mind in a discussion. What could have been a common goal might no longer be valid. A conversation indicates some confusion between you and a loved one. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You could be on target with a personal matter. Convincing those involved that you’re right probably won’t happen right away. Remember how different others’ perspectives can be. Take a good look at your finances, as there could be a problem. Tonight: Be a couch potato.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You could create a problem for yourself. You tend to wield authority; however, when the basis of your authority changes, your perspective will change as well. You might be surprised by how certain matters play out. Tonight: Make some time for a special friend or loved one.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be much more serious than you have been in the past. How you see a personal matter is subject to change. What you feel and think today could be very different a week from now. Give yourself some time to adjust to different decisions. Tonight: Off by yourself.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Emphasize the positive aspects of a friendship. You often distort what you hear and see, which transforms the issue to suit your agenda. Seek clarity, and make no judgments for now. Tonight: Enjoy great music.
