For Thursday, March 11, 2004. Those with birthdays today: Sometimes working with others could be a lesson in frustration, especially as you want life to flow smoothly. You might have to distance yourself from a sibling or neighbor who irritates you or causes you distress or an actual problem. Be cautious and concentrate when driving, as often you are so much in your own head that you could have an accident. You gain through others, who will seek you out. Finances improve in late fall. If you are single, you will have an opportunity to change that status if you so choose. If you’re attached, your partner might trigger strong emotions. Learn to not react and to walk in his or her shoes.

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)

• Your ability to work within certain parameters allows you to get through a project. You express frustration over funds, feeling that someone close could be overdoing it. Tonight: Talk rather than hold in being upset.

• Others seek you out. You might find this type of popularity very special, but you still need to establish your boundaries. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

• All your work and responsibilities could have you rebelling before you know it. Tonight: Don’t push yourself.

• Your creativity surges with what others share. You’ll make the right choice naturally if you listen to your inner voice. Tonight: Make a long-distance call to a loved one.

• Deal with basics right now. Eventually, you take hold of a situation and run with it. Listen well to a loved one who might be a little off-kilter. Tonight: Kick back and relax with a special person.

• Expenses still could be overwhelming. With you absorbing as much responsibility as you have, you could wonder why an associate is spending so much. Tonight: Order in.

• Your smile attracts many. Investigate a suggestion from a frustrated associate or loved one. Although you could be put off by the way this person presents him- or herself, you find value in his or her words. Tonight: You’re top dog.

• As hard as you might try to clear out a project or break a pattern, you might need someone else to pitch in. Tonight: Nap and then decide.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

• Aim for what you want, even if you encounter controversy. Your drive and endurance steer you toward the winner’s circle. Tonight: Start thinking “weekend.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

• Others want you to shoulder the responsibility, which you might not want to do. Money aspects are appealing, but you might want to think before leaping in. Tonight: Work late, but don’t forget to hook up with a friend.

• * Detaching from a charged situation helps you make the correct choice. Talk about what you think and your needs with someone who has the ability to point you in new directions. Tonight: Do something that you love mentally.
