STARS

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

This year you open up to different types of thinking. You start to understand where others are coming from when you detach. Sometimes you have ideas that are so ingrained that they prevent you from seeing the big picture. Hot discussions plus the willingness to detach will help you see where you have preconceived notions. If you are single, no one can question your desirability. Know that excitement will weave through whatever bond you choose. If you are attached, agree to disagree, knowing that you both have solid reasoning behind your choices. Expressing mutual respect will intensify this bond. Scorpio can be challenging.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Deal with a key friend directly. Meanwhile, you will need to make time for a boss or older relative. In some sense, you could feel scattered in every which direction. Conversations might be hard to conclude, as everyone seems to be thinking differently. Tonight: Let off steam.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You will need to do a juggling act. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is heading down your path. Your vision of what is possible might change after a discussion with a loved one. Try to understand this person’s logic. Tonight: Confirm plans first.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You might have a lot to do, and could find that nothing on that list seems interesting. Perhaps you should enlist a dear friend to join you to clear out as much as you can. You are likely to feel a bit conflicted about a situation that surrounds you. Tonight: Play it relaxed.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Your imagination delights many, but especially a friend who is trying to find a resolution to a hassle. If this person continues to nix one idea after the other, know that he or she is searching for the best one. Don’t lose your sense of humour. Tonight: A child is unusually playful.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Handle the basics with family, and find out what needs to be accomplished. Don’t hesitate to head in a new direction once certain matters are cleared up. Get some feedback before you decide that you have the only answer. Tonight: The more fun the suggestions are, the better.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Make an effort to start up a conversation with a relative or neighbour. A younger person could interfere with your plans in an attempt to get your attention. A misunderstanding might arise because of the confusion. Try to keep a talk private. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Be aware of the costs of proceeding in your pre-established manner with a family member. If you can pull yourself out of your own head, you might notice that this person is transforming right in front of you. Listen to him or her more carefully. Tonight: Try not to be a big spender.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Your high energy defines nearly everything you do. You’ll willingly approach a repetitive disagreement from a different perspective. As a result, you can find a resolution. Don’t get uptight with a younger person about his or her lack of attention. Tonight: Only as you like it.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

Consider taking a day just for you. You don’t have to find this day boring. Schedule only what you want to do, and know that you don’t have to share your plans. Your beaming smile will reveal just how good you feel after taking care of yourself. Tonight: Whatever pleases you.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Zero in on what someone is saying. Your sense of humour emerges when this person points out that the only reason he or she is pushing so hard is that you do the same thing to him or her. Have a discussion as you decide on plans. Tonight: Where the fun is.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Your instinct is to make sure that everyone around you is OK and that they like your plans. Do you like your plans? It appears as if you have a need to bring others together to make sure that they can enjoy themselves. A misunderstanding is likely to emerge. Tonight: Order in.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Don’t ignore a longing to do something offbeat. A friend might decide that he or she wants to join you. Whether you take off for a day trip or spend the night at a favourite spot makes no difference. The change of scenery does you a world of good. Tonight: Detach from an issue.
