LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your energy soars as the day goes on. Be willing to express a natural reticence to follow through on a dream. Others will weigh in with their opinions. By proceeding in such a cautious manner, you are enlisting the attention and support of others. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Mars in your sign gives you unusual drive and direction. You also could become less patient than you have been in the recent past. A friend seems ungrounded, yet you’ll still support this person in creating his or her vision. Your caring will make a difference. Tonight: Get some zzz’s.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Make an important call as early as possible. Free yourself up for a day of effectiveness. Many of you might decide to take a long lunch break, while others will push to complete their work ASAP. Do what feels right for you. Tonight: The more people around you, the better.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might have had a very active night in which your dreams played a large role. When you wake up, you are likely to have a lot on your plate. Can you handle it? By noon, you probably will be going full speed ahead. Take advantage of the moment. Tonight: Out late.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Reach out to someone at a distance. After a discussion, you will recognize that a risk is a good idea. Don’t take this person’s opinion as a given. Do more research. You will recognize the power of taking an educated risk. Tonight: Tap into your imagination to fill in some gaps.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Deal directly with a loved one who shares some important information. You’ll seek out new ways of interpreting information. A softer, more caring attitude goes a long way in creating a stronger connection between you and a close friend. Tonight: Try walking another path.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Dealing with others requires a diplomatic skill. You usually aren’t willing to upset the apple cart, which is a problem when it comes to stating boundaries and/or making a request. Know that clarity works best in situations like these. Tonight: Time for a new beginning.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might anticipate having an easier day than what you actually experience. If you remain efficient and stay open to others’ feelings, you are more likely to get the results you desire; otherwise, redundancy and drawn-out talks are possible. Tonight: Get some exercise.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Allow yourself to be more open with a new friend. You will feel much better being yourself. Your energy is high, so zero in on your priorities. Just imagine how much you will be able to accomplish. You finally feel more in sync with others. Tonight: Go for what you want.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Domestic matters take a higher priority than usual. You like to go to work and not worry about personal issues, but right now there’s no such luck. However, you will be able to address these concerns by the end of the day. Tonight: Feel free to do exactly what you want.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Speak your mind, but do so with a softer approach rather than just plain bluntness. Others will be highly responsive to this approach, and they’ll be relieved to find you a little more easygoing than usual. Tonight: A new beginning is possible in a key area of your life.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Use the early morning for a heartfelt matter. Later in the day, your finances somehow tie in to your plans and projects. Be aware of what you have to offer. You often settle, but understand that you don’t need to. Express an innate gentleness. Tonight: Do some shopping.
