STARS: JACQUELINE BIGAR

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

This year you feel very tuned in to your neighbourhood, family and loved ones. You will hone your communication skills, which will help to strengthen the important bonds in your life. If you know what you want, you are likely to get it. If you are single, you might charm someone without even realizing it. After summertime through your next birthday, it will be prime time for meeting someone of significance. If you are attached, you and your sweetie enter one of those special years where you enjoy each other more and often can be found flirting and laughing. You might take your relationship to a new level of commitment. LIBRA loves having conversations with you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

You unintentionally might trigger a lot of action. When you react, what you say often is quite different from what you do. As a result, the unexpected tends to head your way. People are bound to react to your unique style accordingly. Tonight: Wildness weaves through the evening.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You will want to get a lot done quickly. You’ll gain a lot of insight if you detach and listen to your inner voice. You have a tendency to impede your chosen direction, as you often work against yourself on a subconscious level. Tonight: Make it OK to do nothing for now.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You generally try not to get entangled in difficult situations, but sometimes you don’t have a choice, especially if a friend is involved. You might not have a clue as to what to expect. You could be totally surprised by what a loved one does. Tonight: Judge less and smile more.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Pace yourself and get past an immediate issue. You will get more done if you stay home today, especially if you normally work at an office. Be open to a quick change of attitude from a superior, and try to give this person some space. Tonight: Choose a favourite stressbuster.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

You briefly might feel as if your words are falling on deaf ears. Once you get a reaction, you will know that you are heard. Someone in your day-to-day environment could shock you. Be willing to look at a situation from this person’s point of view. Tonight: Visit with friends.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

You will want to focus on a personal matter, but a partner’s reaction to a similar issue might jolt you. Stop and listen to this person in order to determine where he or she is coming from; know that his or her opinions are worthwhile. Tonight: Stop putting yourself last.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

You are able to handle nearly anything that comes your way. You have a tendency to say nothing until you gain a better understanding of why certain events and responses occur. A wild friend is likely to create some excitement, if nothing else. Tonight: Go with the flow.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Take a much-needed timeout. You tend to see situations differently from how many others see them. You might decide to do more on your own, where your work and creativity can be appreciated. Expect the unexpected. Tonight: Remember to take good care of yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

You might see a situation differently as a result of some feedback you get from a friend. Much of what you perceive will be the result of your love for adventure. You understand the need to break the status quo. Tonight: Enjoy a quirky personality around you.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Others demand a lot of attention, no matter what is going on. Maintain a sense of humour. Lighten up if a family member becomes reactive to you working late and not giving him or her enough attention. Understand that they misses you. Tonight: Go for it.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

You could be interested in doing something very different. The thought of a vacation and taking off to see a friend at a distance will enter your mind. Once you realize what is happening around you, you might decide to stick around. Tonight: Return calls and emails first.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Reach out to a loved one, as he or she is dealing with a lot. Once you open up to a different mindset, you will be of more help than you originally had thought possible. Take a stern, disciplined approach toward your finances. Tonight: Do more listening.
