STARS: JACQUELINE BIGAR

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year Lady Luck rides on your shoulder. Nevertheless, you will want to keep a low profile, as you will feel more comfortable. Whatever you plan seems to fall into place. If you are single, you might meet someone quite exotic who is not as authentic as you would like. Be clear about the qualities you seek in a partner. If you are attached, the two of you will want to share a lot of alone time together. You’ll enrich your bond as a result, and become much more intimate than in the past. Leo knows how vulnerable you are. You might be bombarded by a call in the morning from someone who wants to use you as a sounding board. You won’t mind, but you could get thrown off by the conversation and lose your sense of time. Consider taking a shortcut. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You know better than to spread yourself too thin. Slow down and prioritize. Be caring with those in your immediate environment. Cancel an outside commitment if need be. Consolidate rather than fragment. Tonight: Consider what you would like to do this coming weekend.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You might be so busy on the phone that you could miss what is going on around you. Remember to make some time for yourself. A friend or co-worker could surprise you with his or her response. Stay level-headed. Be forthcoming. Tonight: At your favourite spot.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

What is happening around you allows you to step back and consider what you would do in the same situation. A friend or relative does the unexpected and throws you into some chaos. Hang in there, and know that everything will work out.

Tonight: Do some shopping.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

You are firing on all cylinders. Even if you run into a problem or an angry person, you will find the right words to allow everyone to move on. A loved one at a distance finds you to be unusually attractive and will let you know that as well. Tonight: Be physical.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Deal with someone directly and with kindness. You might not want to be visible at the moment, and could choose to play it low-key. Understand that you will be missed! Use this day for yourself, and get some much-needed R and R. Tonight: Continue the vanishing act.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Others might be more provocative than you would like, but you’ll have little choice except to deal with them. You have at least one friend from whom you never know what to expect. Keep your goals in mind, and you can’t go wrong. Tonight: You will be missed if you stay home.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Once more, you seem to end up accepting all the responsibilities of others. You might want to consider stopping this habit — it is not good for your well-being. An older friend or relative will let you know how much you are appreciated. Tonight: Leader of the gang.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You understand all the different energies that are swirling around you through others. On some level, you will find it very amusing; however, you’ll prefer to stay out of a problem rather than hop in the middle of it. Tonight: Say “yes” to a weekend getaway!

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You will be in the mood to let others deal with the details of a certain situation rather than handling them yourself. You could feel as if you have not had enough time to get into a social mode yet. Others seem to be only too pleased to pitch in. Tonight: Surprises await you!

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Others go out of their way to get you going, and will encourage you to join in. You have a unique ability to make people feel appreciated. Many people might be seeking you out for that reason as well. Throw yourself into the moment. Tonight: What is stopping you?

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Ideas and suggestions simply fly right out of your mouth. You might be surprised by everything that is happening around you. Be willing to go 100 per cent in whatever you do. You will have nothing to worry about then! Tonight: Get some sleep while you can.
