JACQUELINE BIGAR

You’ll quickly find out otherwise. Tonight: Have fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Make an extra effort toward a new friend. Your playfulness is renowned, and you see life in a more carefree way from how others do. Allow the child within you to emerge. Your imagination knows no limits. Trust in your ability to make an impression. Tonight: Out late. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You could be in a position in which you don’t know how to proceed. You have been cocooning at home lately. Why not continue for another day or so? When you know which way to go, you will emerge. Many people value your opinion. Tonight: Be spontaneous. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Make calls, return emails and find out what everybody else is doing before making plans. It’s easier to handle your day in this manner rather than having to cancel and rearrange your schedule. Apartner has a very creative idea; go with it. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ You could be in a position where you need to handle a financial matter first. You might not like what is being asked of you, but you will step up to the plate. There are many ways to handle a financial question, but you need to find the right one. Tonight: Let someone else treat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Act as if you know what you want, and others will respond accordingly. If you are unsure about a family member’s proposition, say so. Time is your ally. You could sense a deceptive situation developing around your day-to-day life. Tonight: Keep your eyes wide open. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Make it OK to take a day off just for you. You could have special plans that you don’t want to share with others. You have been secretive as of late, so refusing to say what you’re up to won’t be unusual. Later in the day, you will feel liberated. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ You might want to rethink your plans. What you hear and what you think is happening could be very different from what is actually going on. A friend might be intentionally vague. Focus on your friends and on your long-term desires. Tonight: Make it an early night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Take charge of a situation, and make sure that you’re heading in the direction you desire. Your ability to read between the lines makes all the difference in what occurs. An older relative delights in your attention. Make plans with this person. Tonight: A good time is had by all! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Your mind wanders to other lands and distant friends. You might not want to hang out in the here-and-now. Take off, if you desire, or make plans to visit the faraway friends whom you miss and want to see. Know that the feelings are mutual. Tonight: Start thinking about a trip. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You could make a big difference to a loved one or a special friend. This person is likely to ask you for what he or she wants. Make it a point to deliver; he or she will appreciate your efforts and could repay you in many different ways. Tonight: Make it a cozy night at home.
