IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you encourage yourself to take risks. Your creativity and ability to understand helps you get past problems far more easily than in the recent past. Others often note this ability and will seek you out to brainstorm with you. You’ll discover what a fun and meaningful year this could be. If you are single, someone of interest could enter your life sometime after mid-August. If you are attached, accept your sweetie as he or she is, and things will go smoothly. Make the most of the good moments. GEMINI knows how to encourage you to shop. Be careful!

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Your instincts serve you well. Be aware of your limitation­s in a situation, and don’t push boundaries. By the midafterno­on, you could become more inquisitiv­e. Allow your imaginatio­n to fill any gaps and come up with ideas. Tonight: Have a long-overdue chat.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Use the morning to the max. You know what you want, and others will respond once you decide to go for it. A matter surroundin­g your home life will take a turn, most likely for the better. Open up to possibilit­ies that someone else offers. Tonight: Put your best foot forward.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You could feel a bit off in the morning, but by late afternoon, your energy surges. Keep negativity on the back burner, and you will be able to accomplish a lot more. Pressure could build in a relationsh­ip, which will force it to head in a new direction. Tonight: Demand the stage.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You might believe that you are on the right path and could become a little careless. You could get tripped up over a detail you have overlooked. Avoid being too exacting in what you do. You might feel as if you are being confronted over nothing. Tonight: Get some extra zzzs.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

You might decide to change your focus and head in a new direction. Complete what you have started, and by the end of the day, good news will greet you. Whether you are in a meeting or at a planned get-together, you end up with friends. Tonight: Find a good excuse to celebrate.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Encourage yourself to take in the big picture, especially if you feel triggered. You might want to approach a situation differentl­y. Others look to you for guidance and suggestion­s. Know the importance of being a role model. Tonight: Pressure builds.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Let your sensitive and caring side emerge. You might be more tired than you realize, which will affect your words and actions. Go for a walk and/or recharge your batteries by going to the gym. You will feel much better as a result. Tonight: Detach and relax, then decide.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Step back and acknowledg­e what is happening around you. Defer to someone else, and make sure that he or she is willing to carry the ball. Clearly, you feel as if you have your hands full. You need to be more dominant in other areas for now.

Tonight: Handle money with care.

SAGITTARIU­S (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You might be very put off by someone’s words, and your expression will say it all. Be willing to approach a matter differentl­y for your sake, and try to resolve a hassle. Accept the fact that you can’t change other people. Tonight: Try not to shut down.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You might want to have a discussion about what you expect from someone. Otherwise, this person most likely will let you down because of your high expectatio­ns, which he or she is unaware of. Use your creativity for solutions. Tonight: Clear out an errand first.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You might be more reluctant than you realize. Deal with a personal matter first. A partner or loved one could be challengin­g, and it might force you to rethink your stance. Your childlike side emerges when dealing with a heavy matter. Tonight: Act as if it’s not Monday night.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Express your thoughts with the expectatio­n of being heard. Your attitude most likely will provoke the response you desire. Honour a change, and be willing to move away from a loved one who could be too challengin­g at the moment. Tonight: Head home.
