Aries (March 21-April 19)

• Take your time making decisions. You might not always be comfortable with what is going on right now, but commenting on it might be about all you can do. Tonight: Do your thing.

• Aim for more of what you want. Do something special for a friend and/or partner. Your ability to touch others deeply needs to come out more often. Tonight: Lead your friends out the door. No more couch potato!

• Your even ways help stabilize news or gossip. In a conversation, you toss in yet another perspective, which is akin to dousing cold water on raging feelings. Tonight: Leader of the gang.

• You’ll get a glimpse of others that few do, if you observe more. A child or loved one really does need your attention. Tonight: Rent a movie on the way home.

• An associate thinks he or she has all the answers. The truth is, this person might. Let others run with the ball. Tonight: Togetherness works.

• Emphasize work first. Clear out as much as you can, because by midday a stream of friends and associates suddenly seek you out. Juggling everyone and everything could have your hands full. Tonight: Out and about.

• Your imagination takes you in a new direction. How anchored do you think your ideas are? Test them out on someone else who can appreciate your uniqueness. Tonight: Get some exercise.

• Your charm emerges without you even trying. Note the way others dote on you or take a different approach. Tonight: Play away.

• Talk about ideas. Brainstorm. This morning proves more successful if you lighten up about your dealings. Accept additional work in the afternoon. Tonight: At home.

• Deal with money matters first. Others will listen. Renew contact with others in the afternoon. If someone hasn’t returned your call, don’t take it personally. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

• Your smile draws many. Don’t push too hard to get others to agree with you. Realize your limits when dealing with finances, especially with the holidays coming up. Tonight: A must appearance.

• * Use the morning to your benefit. Stop pushing so hard to have things tumble your way. If you do, you could be delighted by the end results. Tonight: Where the action is.
