STARS: JACQUELINE BIGAR

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

This year, you often feel conflicted between your need to be possessive and your need to be free. Try to avoid knee-jerk responses and juggle your emotions until you have a better sense of what would work. If you are single, you could meet someone through a family member or neighbour. Be careful about pulling this person too close before you get to know him or her well. If you are attached, you will want to spend more time at home with your significant other. Every so often, you will want some space, but you will be happiest as a duo. AQUARIUS makes a great friend, but can be intimidated by your emotional intensity.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

A partner will put his or her energy into planning a get-together. Be happy, as it could be an event in your honour! A conversation with this person will be quite poignant and meaningful. You might see a dimension of him or her that often is hidden. Tonight: Where your friends are.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You could put someone off with your attitude. Don’t be surprised if you get attitude back. A reaction like this is likely, considering where you are coming from. A discussion might be much better and more helpful in resolving the issue at hand. Tonight: A must appearance.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You often see what others don’t. You also have the ability to read between the lines in conversations. Though you might be challenged on what you observe, the information you gather will prove to be very helpful. Keep your eye on the big picture. Tonight: Try something new.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You could be in the position of juggling a key relationship too much for your own comfort. If this is the case, stop. Have a discussion with the other party in order to keep the lines of communication open. Tonight: Let someone else choose.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Others might have a lot of energy invested in having a particular conversation on their terms. You have nothing to lose by letting this talk happen. These people offer you a lot, especially their friendship. Express yourself as clearly as possible. Tonight: Do some exploring.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Plug your efficiency and your imagination into your work. You will benefit enormously from adding a new dimension to your days. Giving 110 per cent can only add to the quality of your life. Right now, you are unusually lucky; use it well. Tonight: Do your own thing.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Be aware of the cost of living with such high intensity. You will feel so much better if you relax more and become a bit more aware of your actions and their ramifications. Reach out to others, because they enjoy your company. Tonight: Add more spice to your life.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Your strong will can override almost any problems you are likely to encounter. However, when uproar starts on the home front, you’ll need to resolve it quickly, for your sake. You can’t handle too much tension in this area of your life. Try to relax. Tonight: Head home.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You might be a little more rigid than usual, but a conversation with a friend will help loosen you up. You have a tendency to internalize any tension or stress. Try to break that pattern through exercise or any other stressbuster you might be interested in. Tonight: Hang out.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You often walk a conservative path where your finances are concerned; however, a situation could develop that forces you to loosen the purse strings. You might be uncomfortable with what is happening, so be more careful in the future. Tonight: Someone treats you to dinner.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

How you deal with others will be important, especially with someone at a distance who could be argumentative and difficult. Opportunities become available through a dear loved one. Let this person know how much he or she is appreciated. Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Take your time when making a decision. You might not be ready to discuss any aspects of the matter just yet. A partner could demonstrate his or her devotion in a big way, as he or she enjoys giving more of him- or herself. Tonight: Be direct.
