HOROSCOPE

- By Jacqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This year, you open up to new ideas and possibilit­ies. Let go of the need to keep certain details consistent­ly uniform. If single, your newfound openness draws many potential suitors. Do not commit unless you are 100 percent sure. If attached, pretend once in a while to be a well-known romantic from literature or the movies when interactin­g with your sweetie. Virgo fusses a lot.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-dynamic; 4-positive; 3-average; 2-so-so; 1-difficult.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ Others notice how focused you might be on a project, a book or even getting your taxes together. You might not be ready to share your thoughts as of yet. Tonight: A dear friend and/or loved one proves to be most receptive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★ You cannot sit on your creativity. Whatever you decide to share, your imaginatio­n will benefit. You could want to focus this energy into a budding romance or a child. Others are clearly drawn to your energy. Tonight: Choose your favorite means of relaxing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ Make it OK to play it low-key and not be available. You have a lot going on and need some downtime to clear out as much as you can. Humor a roommate or a family member, maybe even the cat. Tonight: Energize, and paint the town red.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★★ You will want to take action no matter what goes on. Do not push too hard for others to agree with you. Just be open to their ideas. You will see the same openness extended toward you sooner rather than later. Tonight: Make it an early night.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★ You might be rather remote or obsessive about a certain topic. By all means, throw yourself into your focus. At a certain point, you will become more available. You will see the happiness in a friend’s face when you are present once more. Tonight: Let the party go on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★★ Others might feel somewhat off, but you feel on top of your game. Your attention to detail and quiet but strong energy draw others to you. You have reason for celebratio­n. An offer or invitation might be too good to be true. Tonight: All smiles.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★ Use this period to catch up on lost sleep and add to your vitality. Soon enough, you will feel as if there is no stopping you. Complete a personal errand or two as well. A call or a conversati­on needs to be kept hush-hush. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ Trust yourself to make the appropriat­e decision. Give up on creating anxiety and worrying over and over again. You could be tired of overthinki­ng issues and pushing so hard. Greet life with a more open mind. Tonight: Where the action is.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ You become a star wherever you are. You most likely will be out when you receive acknowledg­ment for a job well done. Be gracious, but plan on celebratin­g good news in the evening. Tonight: Popping a bottle of champagne.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Reach out for someone at a distance who sometimes has avant-garde ideas that make you flip out. Neverthele­ss, you always find these conversati­ons noteworthy, as they open up your thinking. Tonight: Others seek you out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ A close associate takes the time to explain a financial propositio­n that might be of interest to you. Do not commit unless you want to. If romance is tied up with business, you might feel as if you must agree. Tonight: Let a discussion extend into the evening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ You expend a considerab­le amount of time thinking through a decision. You feel as if you have no choice, but you always have choice. Give yourself some time to think through your alternativ­es. Tonight: Out, but slow down the pace.
