ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ You will be unstoppable, no matter which way you turn. You’ll hold your own in a disagreement while still being kind to the other party. Take charge, but understand that many extra responsibilities could descend on you as a result. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Be imaginative and spontaneous. A child or new friend could be a source of good feelings. Don’t allow a misunderstanding to get bigger. As you gain a more complete perspective, you’ll recognize how easily mistakes can happen. Tonight: Kick up your heels.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ You’ll feel more relaxed at this time with one person rather than several. Schedule your day accordingly, especially if you notice a tendency to encounter misunderstandings. Feelings might be intensifying with a loved one. Tonight: A friend could surprise you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You might have a lot of anxiety about a personal matter. Don’t worry; you will discover other ways of resolving or lessening your discomfort. A boss or relative could be cantankerous. Listen carefully, but don’t internalize this person’s message. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You might want to consider your alternatives. You have so much to do, yet you still will want to clear up a conversation. You know this talk could take a lot of time. You have the ability to squeeze in what you need to do as well. Trust yourself. Tonight: An unexpected development.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ You’ll structure your day with care. You also understand that others won’t always be in sync with your needs. Expect some uproar from a close friend. When confronted with an obstacle, you tend to clear it up quickly. Tonight: Let someone else make the first move.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ You might be more focused on a personal matter than you realize. Attempt to clear up the issue as quickly as possible. Some of you will opt to stay close to home; some of you might be considering a home-based business as well. Tonight: Expect a little disruption.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Your intensity speaks for itself. Someone’s words could sting and upset you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Stay focused on the big picture, which could involve work as well as friends. The people in your life might be unusually difficult. Remember the importance of what you’re doing, and stay on track. Don’t allow all the fussing to become dominant. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ You unintentionally might challenge others. A boss or parent could feel intimidated. You know what you are going to do. Discuss it less, and just act. You are likely to get a lot of feedback that you’d prefer not to hear. Tonight: Avoid someone who creates hassles for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Don’t be surprised if you decide to be reclusive. You might be replaying the same scenario over and over in your head. You also could be exhausted. Surprising news forces you to regroup. Know what is happening, as it allows you to make better choices. Tonight: Get some R and R.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Zero in on what you want, despite the fact that someone is giving you a lot of flak. You might wonder what would be best to do under the present circumstances. Don’t overthink this issue. You still are going to do whatever you want. Tonight: Use caution when handling funds.
