LOVE AND THE STARS

- MADALYN ASLAN

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Speak clearly and more directly than usual. Your no-nonsense mode of expression can seem bold, but sometimes you just want to wake people up. Do it with affection, and people will know you mean well. Tonight: Invite a neighbor for tea.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

A luxury item you thought you could never afford will suddenly be within reach. You deserve a treat now more than ever. A family dispute might not be as serious as it seems. Talk things through. Tonight: Watch a televised concert.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Find ways to connect with new people today. Network with a group, or sign up for a golf, hiking or tennis league so you can grow your tribe. Your personal appeal is at a high now. Tonight: Accept an offer.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Seek out solitude and filter out the noise. Listen intently, and you can get a clear signal from your intuition. If you're stumped at the prospect of making a decision, trust your gut. Tonight: A friend pours their heart out.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Use your natural leadership abilities to inspire others. Team members who are stuck or stalled appreciate your pep talks. A donation that you made has been spent in a way that warms your heart. Tonight: Try out a healthy recipe.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don't shun the spotlight today. It's about time that you take credit for your contributi­ons, even though you usually prefer to work quietly behind the scenes. A new friendship could develop now. Be open to it. Tonight: Buy yourself flowers.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Re-read and revise a piece of writing that you are stuck on. Let a friend who can provide helpful suggestion­s look at it. It may never be published, but you want something that represents your voice. Tonight: Connect with out-of-state friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your insight into a friend's problems will be a lifesaver. You know the right things to say at the appropriat­e moments. A business propositio­n will intrigue you. Tonight: Create your own video.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Center today's plans around someone you love and who you have missed being around. Get lost in a deep conversati­on about the recent past. Promise yourselves that you will stay in touch. Tonight: Write a note to yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Someone could ask for practical advice on how to problem-solve. Be firm and truthful, yet sensitive and caring, and you will have a positive impact. Tonight: Take care of someone's needs.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be playful even if you're frustrated and feeling cranky. Your sense of humor will diffuse a tense situation. Don't sweat the small stuff. Life is too short to let little annoyances upset your day. Tonight: Play a game with friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your home needs your personal, loving touch. Make a list of repairs that you can begin to implement. You are due for a call with parents or in-laws. Tonight: Exciting dinner date.
