IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you often reflect on what has caused certain problems to have emerged in your life. As a result of this reflection, you’ll have the knowledge and power to change direction. You are likely to create a new beginning for yourself where you feel you need it. If you are single, you will be unusually magnetic through the summer. Know what you want from a relationsh­ip, and you will make good choices. If you are attached, you will need to guard against being too me-oriented. Remember, it takes two to make a relationsh­ip work. You will draw a fellow Taurus closer to you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Your energy might startle someone. Your high drive emerges when you are focused on an important issue or matter. Your approach could evoke a surprising reaction from many people. In any case, use care with your funds and your spending. Tonight: Try to appear a bit wiser.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You could wake up with a realizatio­n that might surprise you. You are likely to gain a new understand­ing of a certain situation as a result. Try to do little until late to mid-afternoon, when you suddenly blossom and express the best parts of your personalit­y. Tonight: As you like it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Your nervous energy could be a little high, so try to choose more physical activities. As a result, you’ll feel better. Anything involving research, reflection or writing would be best handled later in the evening. Tonight: Test out a new approach on a friend or loved one.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You could find a boss to be rather explosive and unpredicta­ble. You might not be sure what would be best to do under the present circumstan­ces. Try to come to terms with this person’s behaviour, and then focus on your goals. How intrusive is this person? Tonight: Hang with a pal.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

News illuminate­s your morning. You could be pondering a sudden insight for a while. You will gain clarity because of your ability to detach and see the big picture. Understand what an authority figure is sharing. Tonight: Get a stronger vision of possibilit­ies because of a discussion.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

An associate could easily throw your plans into chaos. Relax a bit, and understand that you can accomplish everything with just the slightest change of pace. Detach and take a hard look at what has been bothering you. Tonight: How about some mind candy? Perhaps a computer game?

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Others dominate, no matter how many good ideas you have or how often you interject an opinion. Others are on a roll—you can join in, be an observer or feel left out. The call is yours. By mid-afternoon, a conversati­on is inevitable. Tonight: Opt to be with a favourite person.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Though you could really dive into a project in the morning and approach it with a fresh perspectiv­e, distractio­n is likely to hit by mid-afternoon. Be willing to loosen up your schedule. An opportunit­y to chat and network could come up. Tonight: Be a social butterfly for a night!

SAGITTARIU­S (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You will want to move quickly on a creative idea today, though you might need to speak to others at a later date about what you are doing. In the afternoon, follow the logical sequence of what is happening. Understand what you need to do. Tonight: Get some extra sleep.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You could be in a position where you would prefer to stay close to home. How you handle a personal matter might be disruptive to those you live with. Mending fences or helping someone feel more comfortabl­e will become a dominant theme. Tonight: Be a little naughty.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You might be in a situation where you are on the receiving end of someone’s sudden changes. As a result, your nerves could be fried. Recognize what is happening within your immediate circle, and listen more. Consider working from home. Tonight: Visit with a loved one.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You could be dealing with an unpredicta­ble situation that really might start to irritate you. You are likely to feel as if your finances are on a bit of a roller-coaster ride. Talk to a trusted friend who seems to have a better sense of direction. Tonight: Speak with a loved one.
