IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

This year the adaptability that you offer becomes very important to quite a few people. Your lack of traditional boundaries delights friends old and new alike. If you are single, you might believe that the first attractive person you meet this year is The One. Date awhile — at least a year — and see whether you still feel the same way. If you are attached, you and your partner often have very serious conversations. These exchanges only strengthen your bond. Capricorn is lucky for you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

You might note that an older relative seems to be evaluating an important matter. Give this person the space to discuss what is on his or her mind. Maintain a caring attitude, as he or she seems to be taking this particular situation very seriously. Tonight: A must appearance. This Week: A conversation on Monday could be very serious.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You could be reaching out to someone who makes a big difference in your life. A partner or loved one expects to be there for you.

This Week: On Monday and Friday, others seem more flexible.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Listen to a close associate who tends to point you toward the right path. Schedule some time to clear out a project or finish a chore. A serious talk with a key person in your life reflects his or her energy and reveals what he or she really thinks. Tonight: Go with the moment.

However, the caring between the two of you is genuine. Tonight: Add more zest to a situation. This Week: Your smile helps

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

You could be tired of trying to handle all your responsibilities. Take a realistic look at what is happening. You might need to look at why you do not support yourself in being more authentic. Don’t feel as if you have to share whatever is on your mind. Tonight: Out late. This Week: Curb a tendency to go overboard.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Even when greeting good times with a loved one, you’ll want to maintain a low profile. Adding a screen of privacy could add a lot of depth and openness to your bond. Let go of seriousness, and embrace your lighthearted side. Tonight: Curl up with a book. This Week: Keep someone’s secret hush-hush, or you could encounter the other party’s wrath.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
