IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you head in a new direction, and you make the most of a sudden opportunit­y. You also might deal with more than your fair share of strong-willed people. You often might tell yourself that you need a break — and you do! If you are single, you might want to date rather than commit to one person. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy making public appearance­s together, but make sure you have plenty of one-onone time, too. A fellow LIBRA understand­s you very well.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) If you really want to enjoy your Saturday, defer to someone who has even bigger control needs than you. Putting an ongoing issue to rest will allow greater give-and-take between you and someone else. Opportunit­ies will open up left and right. Tonight: Strut your stuff.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) You understand what must be taken care of, but that doesn’t mean that others won’t come to you with invitation­s, news or just a desire to be in your company. Know that you can’t push someone — he or she will have to make a decision for him- or herself. Tonight: Get some rest.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Your sense of what works could be distorted because of your playful mood. You could go way overboard in an attempt to enjoy the good life. When you get back from this wild ride, make sure that you have not done any permanent damage. Tonight: Use your imaginatio­n.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You’ll be as playful as ever. Your laughter and sense of humour help take some of the stress off a very touchy situation. Be willing to push someone to his or her limit. Be aware of your budget, and remember that you must stay within your budget. Tonight: Dine eat a favourite place.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You have fun and adventure on your side. You are willing to plug that energy into whatever is important to you. Don’t forget to relax a little and have a good time. If you head in a new direction, maintain your natural optimism. Tonight: You do not have to go far to find fun.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You have a way about you that attracts many people. Use care, especially if you enjoy spending money. You could be less than delighted to see the dam- age this creates. Understand what is happening with a friend. Tonight: Having a good time does not need to break the bank.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) You could be full of fun and high energy. Nearly any contact feels good to you right now, as you are in such an upbeat mood. Neverthele­ss, a friend could be quite angry or frustrated. Listen to what this person has to share. Think before you react. Tonight: Go where the fun is.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Remain sensitive to an older friend or relative who seems to be quite upset. This person might choose to express his or her feelings as anger. Recognize how different this individual’s experience of life is from yours and be sympatheti­c. Tonight: Keep it quiet. No crowds, please.

SAGITTARIU­S (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You gravitate toward your friends, and they toward you. As a group, you might decide that it is time to have some fun. Consider going to a ballgame or out to the movies. You naturally tend to beam in fun. Just be yourself. Tonight: Buy something that you really want.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) You might not be as together as you might have thought you were. You could consider trying a new approach or handling a situation with a boss a bit differentl­y. You will get nowhere fast if you don’t give this person the respect he or she deserves. Tonight: Stay out to the wee hours.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You’ll be all smiles as you look at a situation with a great deal of maturity. You might wonder what would be the best way to handle a problem. Until you are sure of yourself, do not act. A loved one suddenly could become demanding. Tonight: Sort through invitation­s.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) You will want to defer more often to a partner, especially when it comes to your finances. You could witness an element of the unexpected. Realize that nothing you do at this point will change that situation. Use care with an angry associate. Tonight: Just do not be alone.
