Horoscopes

SATURDAY

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year, you open up to new ideas with ease. Deciding how workable an idea is takes talent. Your high energy keeps you energized.

If you’re single, your vitality draws others, adding to your desirability. You will have many potential sweeties.

If you’re attached, the two of you see situations differently. If you use each other’s feedback, you come up with solid ideas that work for both of you.

SAGITTARIUS understands you and cheers you on.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Though you can easily detach and see the big picture, you still might be confused by news or different versions of the same thing. If you want to confront the issue later in the day, when you have given this matter more thought, do so. Tonight: Try a new nightspot.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

One-on-one relating could be confusing at best. You hear one thing, but look at this same person’s actions. You see a discrepancy. Before you make this matter an issue, recognize how common it is for someone to say one thing but do another. Tonight: With a favourite person.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Defer to others, which actually might please you. You have a lot you want to do, a lot of ground to cover, and you can be more effective if you fly solo. An older person or boss might add confusion to your plans. Tonight: Defer to your sweetie.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Focus on a project, most likely around the house. You will want to complete it as soon as possible. News from a distance could be confusing. Ask needed questions to gain clarity. Use caution around your spending. Tonight: Say yes to an offer.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Your personality always comes out when you call the shots. You could be unusually dynamic and creative when dealing with a child or loved one. You have no idea how much you are appreciated for this gesture.

Do not push another person into a corner; give him or her the same space you delight in.

Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Pressure builds. A family member or a roommate wants you present. Possibly this person needs help with a project or wants more time with you. If you want to keep the peace, you will respond accordingly. Tonight: Go to a favourite local eatery.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Reach out to a neighbour or a relative whom you need to catch up on the news with. You could be delighted by what you hear. Catching up on the news energizes you. Tonight: The lead player, wherever you are.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

You might want to take a break from your immediate environment. Why not head out to a fair, or get together with a friend and explore a new spot? You could be amazed at the change of scenery and its impact on you. Tonight: Just be you.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You express a uniqueness of personality and a desire to see and experience more of life. You decide to invite another person to join you as you explore areas around you that you have not visited. Tonight: Try a new restaurant too!

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Make a point of joining your friends in an adventure. If nothing is going on, invite others to join you in a mutually appealing event or happening. You feel good as you catch up on others’ news. Tonight: Stay open.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

A new beginning becomes possible. Do handle a personal or work-related matter directly if you want certain results. Do not push a friend or associate to join you if he or she has other commitments. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You might want to take off and go out of town for the day. This thought could get waylaid. A partner might change his or her tune about a money matter or you might buy a lottery ticket that could cause a change in plans! Tonight: Do something new.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Be willing to let go of your need for control, and you could be delighted by what comes down the path. Associates, loved ones and friends might surprise you but are accommodating. Tonight: A potential loved one or your sweetie has decided to indulge you.

This Week: Defer to others and you will be much happier with what goes on.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

News from a distance may charge your day with excitement. Many of you will choose to spend some extra time with a child or loved one. He or she might be full of flack, but enjoy it. Tonight: A longoverdue discussion.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

This Week: You can be brutally honest, especially at the beginning of the week.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You could want to change directions, though you feel somehow committed. Ask yourself if you can break this scenario or not. It might be better to tolerate the matter for a while. Finances are likely to change in the near future. Tonight: Fun does not need to cost.

This Week: Curb spending, keep the budget, and pay bills.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You gain no matter what direction you decide to go. You certainly have a lot on your plate, but you also offer a lot. A child or new friend might become unpredictable. Tonight: Go with another person's suggestion.

This Week: The Moon in your sign adds extra energy to you.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

This Week: Zero in on what you want Monday and Tuesday.
