> STARS JACQUELINE BIGAR

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

This year, you make waves just by being you. Your personality melts resistance. Do not listen to a stubborn Taurus.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Spending could be a hot topic — to do or not to do? Either way, you find pluses and minuses. Others will look at life and see today as a time to live it up. Ultimately, you make the choice you want. You will not be left wondering “What if?” Tonight: Living it up.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

You are personality plus, saying and doing whatever you want. Finally, you feel free enough to be yourself. Do be aware of any ramifications, as you want to maximize the positives in the next few days. Tonight: Delighted to be where you are.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

You might want to slow down to consider an issue and your choices. You need a slow period to catch up on what you are doing. First, take care of yourself. Imagine what you desire, and look at it as a possibility. Tonight: With your best friend.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

You discover how much fun you have with a particular person. In fact, making plans seems irrelevant and not connected to the fun you have with this person. Whatever you decide works. Tonight: Where the party or crowds are.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

A must appearance becomes possible. You have many other concerns, but you will handle the moment with grace. An older relative or friend appreciates your visit or call. You might be more concerned about this person than you choose to say. Tonight: To the wee hours.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

If someone offers you an opportunity to take off and visit or explore a new part of town, say “yes.” A new setting invigorates your thoughts and energy. You find that you have a new perspective on a situation by the time the day is over. Tonight: Opt for new.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

One-on-one relating takes time, but you have time, if you so choose. Making plans with a special person helps feed your bond and recharge you individually. Turn off your cell and throw yourself into the experience. Tonight: Off to the movies or a concert.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Opting to go along with a partner’s or dear friend’s ideas could make this day memorable and special. The two of you are very different, yet you have similarities. The mix can trigger a lot of excitement and fun. Tonight: Respect differences. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You like to enjoy yourself, yet certain issues need to clear out of your mind. Handle what is preventing you from being present in various other situations. Do not worry about other matters. Complete what you must in order to flow. Tonight: Make it early.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Understand what is happening around a child or loved one. The time might be right for a quiet moment or day together just to chat and enjoy each other. You remember how much you enjoy this person. Tonight: Celebrate this bond.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Stay close to home and follow through on what must happen. Whether you decide to do a lengthy cleaning, fill the pool or paint a room, you enjoy yourself. Friends might drop by, leading to a spontaneous happening. Tonight: Order pizza.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Reach out for a friend who you don’t connect with as frequently as you’d like. Make plans for today, if you can, as others will get together soon. A conversation might stick in your mind for a long time. Be sure you are clear about what the other party means. Tonight: Hang out.

BORN TODAY: Actor Richard Jenkins (1947), U.S. Sen. Doug Jones (1954), actress Audrey Hepburn (1929)
