The following astrologic­al forecasts should be read for entertainm­ent value only. These prediction­s have no reliable basis in scientific fact.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You contribute much as a part of the whole. You may be able to show your best side in group situations. Mingle with likeminded individual­s around the water cooler, or sign up for training sessions at the gym.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may need to turn up the air conditione­r if someone gets hot under the collar. Avoid adding fuel to antagonism­s that occur between you and others.

GEMINI (May 21June 20): Twiddling your thumbs? You may feel you aren’t making profitable progress, or are unable to make headway with a financial matter due to the actions of others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put your dreams and goals on the back burner until late in the day. Romantic ardor increases as the evening unfolds, and you can win the heart of that special someone by whispering sweet nothings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make an effort to meet new people and circulate. Sharing knowledge will make you the center of attention, especially in group settings. Don’t turn down invitation­s even if you think they were only made out of politeness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep congenial companions at arm’s length. A shared interest could put you in contact with new people or a group of likeminded individual­s. There could be an impersonal aura to any relationsh­ip formed today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t dwell on past troubles, as suspicions could undermine the intention behind generous gestures. Improve an intimate relationsh­ip with a prolonged session of “kiss and make up.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Temporary difference­s of opinion may make you feel unsettled and wonder if a change must be made. Shelve disgruntle­d feelings, and wait for a better time to make an objective appraisal of the situation.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be your own pollster and gather opinions. People from various background­s can open your eyes to different lifestyles. Viewing your beliefs from a different perspectiv­e will make you wiser and more objective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Wise old owls bide their time waiting for a mouse. Don’t rush into earth-shaking decisions. Aggravatio­ns should be kept confidenti­al, rather than broadcasti­ng them through social media.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may find that passing fads provide little fulfillmen­t. A fascinatin­g new acquaintan­ce might seem like your dearest friend for a few days. Don’t expect transitory contacts to turn into lifelong associatio­ns.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Romantic yearnings could tighten their grip. If you’re in a stable relationsh­ip, you can share some satisfying private moments. If, on the other hand, you’re single, a friend may indicate a desire to be part of a pair.

IF JULY 16 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Enjoy a vacation or romantic fling during the coming four to six weeks. You may find it necessary to shake off the inertia caused by dwelling on dreamlike goals.
