IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you could be more detail-oriented than you have been in the recent past. Your creativity surges. The applicatio­n of both of these assets will make your work, your choices and your life far more dynamic. Friends who have high ideals surround you. If you are single, someone of significan­ce could enter your life sometime after August. You will enjoy all the bells and whistles of dating. If you are attached, you will find that the period following summer could be very special and significan­t. Make the most of this romantic period. VIRGO is known for his or her fussiness.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You will need to make an extra effort to determine what to do to get some feedback from an important person. Keep in mind that you could be stubborn or provocativ­e if you don’t get the answer you desire. Be aware of the costs of proceeding. Tonight: Get some exercise. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) You typically are logical and forthright, but at this point in time, you’ll tap into your creativity when a problem appears. A meeting occurs that could confuse you as well as others for a while. You will be fine, as long as you focus on your priorities. Tonight: Go for what you want.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Lie low and choose to be passive. Listen carefully to a conversati­on to determine what is being left out. Confusion seems to surround a workrelate­d situation. Let it go; time will help you clear up the problem. Say little and learn a lot. Tonight: Get some extra zzzs. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You know what you want, and you recognize the power of having support from others. When you speak to others, you have a way of conjuring up a clear mental picture for them. Experiment with new ideas and different approaches. Tonight: Out and about.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Be aware of the costs of heading in a certain direction. A conversati­on with a friend could be confusing at best. Pressure builds and adds some stress. An associate could paint a totally different picture, void of reality. Be aware. Tonight: Go for a brisk walk, then decide.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You will jump over any obstacles that appear. Others are drawn to you, as you are able to accomplish a lot quickly. The only problem will be a judgment that might upset you or stop you in your tracks. Remember, this is just one opinion — nothing more. Tonight: Go for the unusual. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) One-on-one relating could prove to be rather fruitful. Neverthele­ss, keep what you know to yourself right now. Answers might come forward in an odd manner. Someone is likely to ask a question that reveals more knowledge. Honour a promise. Tonight: Not to be found.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Keep your goals in mind as you approach a situation that has several implicatio­ns. Avoid asking difficult questions or putting someone on the spot. You have the ability to cloak your thoughts and ask the right questions without upsetting someone. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

SAGITTARIU­S (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Others see how gifted you are in many different ways. A demand might be overwhelmi­ng, and your knee-jerk reaction could cause a problem. You will want to see a situation differentl­y from how you have viewed it in the past. Tonight: Choose a favourite stressbust­er.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Reach out to someone you care about. Your way of proceeding will take you down a traditiona­l path. Still, be sure to respect others who might suggest a more creative direction. Try the unusual for once, to see what could develop. Tonight: Expand your mind.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Deal with others on an individual level. You could be exhausted by what is happening in your immediate environmen­t. Pull back some. A financial or emotional risk is sure to be a bad bet. Stay conservati­ve in this realm for now. Tonight: Make it dinner for two.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Take charge, and run with an idea while you can. Others won’t intend to interfere, but they will. You have reason to want to back off completely, as confusion seems to surround communicat­ion. Play it low-key. Tonight: Don’t challenge someone’s authority.
