STARS: JACQUELINE BIGAR

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year others find that you are more introverted than usual. You will be spending many hours pondering the decisions and direction of your life. You might decide to let go of what no longer serves you. If you are single, carefully check out someone new on the scene, as he or she could be very different from what you think. If you are attached, the relationship benefits from frequent getaways together. VIRGO is full of fun.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Stay level despite surprises early in the day. You could feel abandoned in some sense. You will be in an enviable position, as you seem to be able to reset your schedule and mood with ease. Tonight: Don’t push too hard.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You will be unusually playful compared to most people. Don’t worry— you’ll find a playmate with ease. What you choose to do must be an activity you love. That type of excitement is what will draw in others. Tonight: You could become quite mischievous.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You might be spending a lot of time at home, as you feel comfortable in this setting. Invite friends over later in the day for a spontaneous fall happening or party. Your attitude and easygoing nature might surprise some of your company. Tonight: And the party goes on.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You’ll need to have a conversation with a friend in order to clear the air. How you deal with this person could be subject to change because of information that comes in. Tonight: At a favourite spot.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

You might be concerned about the costs of a trip or a special weekend. Verify the costs now, and if you are comfortable with them, go ahead. Do not create unnecessary tension in your life. Tonight: Nothing needs to be formal right now.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

The Moon highlights you and draws quite a few admirers toward you. Handling this popularity could be difficult, especially if you are attached. Honour a changing situation with a family member. Tonight: Create a special time.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Your ability to understand more of what is happening with a special friend is likely to emerge. This person might be more withdrawn than you have seen in a long time. Be understanding. Tonight: Vanish.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Your situation is changeable. Your finances seem to be rather tight, but you still will manage to have a good time. Sometimes throwing yourself into a situation in which you aren’t normally exposed can invigorate the moment. Tonight: Go for it.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Pressure builds as a key person seems to need you and make demands. At some point, you will need to say when enough is enough and allow yourself to create some fun, personal time. Take a stand, and others will follow. Tonight: Out late.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Reach out to a friend at a distance. Perhaps you will make plans to get together in the near future. You might have been considering a change of scenery anyway, so why not join this person for a mini getaway? Tonight: A new spot with new people.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You’ll want to deal with a loved one on a one-on-one basis. As a result, you might draw a strong, unexpected reaction. You could be surprised by what comes up. Tonight: Add some candles and ambience.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You have so many invitations heading in your direction that you could be overwhelmed. If money is an issue, say so, and others will help you find a way around the problem. Tonight: Go from one happening to another!
