Love and the stars

- Jacqueline Bigar

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Many choices surround you. Deciding where you want to go and who you want to surround yourself with will be important. The unexpected plays into your decision-making process. Reach out to a loved one at a distance. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Communicat­ion flourishes, and the unexpected takes a toll. Understand what is happening in your inner circle. Your seriousnes­s might be met with silence, as the other party involved could be intimidate­d. Tonight: Meet loved ones at a favorite spot.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your tendency to go overboard marks your day. Recognize what is important for you to accomplish, and know where you need to apply self-discipline. You easily could go overboard in a certain area of your life. Work with a partner to achieve a mutual goal. Tonight: Stay within your budget.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your smile warms up others, which will be fortunate, as an element of upheaval weaves through your day. You work well with the unexpected. A loved one tends to hold back, and might not want to share. Give this person some time and space. Tonight: Keep plans loose.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’ll want to read between the lines right now. Being forthright might not work, as others could be caught up in their own world. You will hear news in a highly confidenti­al way. Listen carefully, and observe what is not being said. Tonight: Know that nothing is written in stone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You see potential where others might not. Reveal more of what you are thinking. A loved one suddenly might give you the cold shoulder. Find out what is going on here. Tap into your ability to complete a project and/or read between the lines. Tonight: Find your friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Stay on top of your profession­al dealings. On a personal level, someone might feel neglected by you. Others seem to be drawn in by your charm. Understand that you can’t be everywhere at once. Tonight: Head home after an exercise session or a brisk walk.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You could be overly tired and withdrawn. You might find it difficult to complete a project or get a job done, but when news comes in from a distance or someone with expertise calls, you suddenly feel energized. Be aware of what is possible around you. Tonight: Push yourself.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Discussion­s regarding your finances seem to elicit a closed-down or negative response from others. You know when you have had enough. Let others make all the requests they desire, and know that you don’t need to respond right now. Tonight: Have a long-overdue discussion.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Despite others’ efforts, you seem shut down. You could find a friend’s attempt to loosen you up nothing less than annoying. A new friend surprises you with his or her actions, attitude or news. This person helps you lighten up. Tonight: Know that you don’t need to do anything.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Pace yourself, as you might have a lot more to do than you had anticipate­d. Do what is necessary to prevent a low-level depression. Try not to stumble into negativity or overthink a problem. Seek out a loved one for his or her advice. Tonight: Run errands on the way home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your playfulnes­s pulls you right into a brainstorm­ing session. A meeting could feel like a failure rather than a success. Do not accept the result as final. Much could change quickly. Stay open-minded if the immediate situation is not to your liking. Tonight: Think “weekend.”
