STARS

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you’ll want to get plenty of exercise to work through stress and minimize tension. You will feel a lot better if you develop a strong exercise routine. Practice supporting yourself more often. If you are single, you could meet someone at work, at the bank or maybe even at the gym. You probably will meet this person sometime after summer. If you are attached, the two of you decide to participate in a new activity that will help you both relax. Aries proves to be provocative when brainstorming.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

An older friend or relative is likely to get under your skin. Pressure builds to establish more defined boundaries. Tonight: Go for the last hurrah, if you want. This Week: You finally feel a difference in your energy and self-expression.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Someone you care about pulls you away from a loved one who might be upset. Try to put a halt to this situation before it affects your relationship. You can talk to the other person tomorrow. Tonight: Not to be found. This Week: You can handle some disruption.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Your frustration might emerge when visiting with a friend who can be a bit rigid. The smart play is to postpone plans, especially if you feel your volatility easily emerging. Tonight: Where the crowds are. This Week: Avoid a tiff with a neighbour or friend.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Accept an invitation to join others for brunch at a favourite spot. You might not believe how much fun you’ll have. Do not worry about what others think. You call the shots. Tonight: Catch up on others’ news. This Week: Do not let an obstacle stop you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Open up to an adventure that is exciting and new. As a result, your mind will be exposed to very unique ideas. A friend might want to expose you to another way or style of living. Tonight: Buy some tickets to a concert. This Week: A key person has his or her eye on you.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

You will find that you are capable of adjusting to a provocative situation. One-on-one relating can be very satisfying because of your social skills. The person you are spending time with is fiery and dynamic. Tonight: Get cosy. This Week: Reach out for more information.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Listen to what is being shared by a strong-willed partner. Recognize that this person is reflecting his or her own inner tension. Reach out to someone at a distance who is controversial yet always makes you laugh. Tonight: Go along with another person’s request. This Week: A partner holds the cards.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

You could be on edge balancing a lot of different needs, including your own. Stay cool, and don’t lose your temper; otherwise, you will have others running away from you! A loved one also might be handling an issue regarding your joint finances. Tonight: Remain level-headed. This Week: Know that you will have more free time in the next few days. You come up with unusual but relevant solutions. Are you willing to try one out? You actually could be delighted by the results. In any case, the willingness to take a risk and be open is what counts. You finally seem to be getting in tune with living. Tonight: Be naughty and nice. This Week: Others seek you out.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Don’t get locked into rigid thinking, which could be a liability for you. Be more willing to get involved in an activity with which you have little expertise. Remain open to experimentation. Take up a new hobby. Tonight: Time for some fun. This Week: Settling in could be difficult, but you’ll have a good time.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Make calls and see what your friends are up to. You might decide to join a loved one on a fun adventure, but perhaps you would prefer being in a group setting. What is wrong with trying to squeeze in both? Tonight: Visit with a neighbour whom you rarely see. This Week: Work from home until Wednesday, if possible.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

You might have decided to treat a friend to a special day. Some of you will indulge your love of shopping, whereas others can be found at an amusement or water park. You will be over-the-moon happy when you finally get to do what you love. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. This Week: Speak your mind.
