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)

  • Focus on others, not on yourself. A domestic or real estate matter could weigh on your mind. Keep talks flowing. Share some unusual ideas. Later in the day, meet friends at the movies or an exotic restaurant. Tonight: Follow another’s suggestion.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Everyone needs a day of rest, even the strong, powerful Bull. You might be put off by someone’s comments. You will have the opportunity to state your objections and where you are coming from. Discussions on an individual level pay off. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Stay playful and open. A financial matter could hit you hard at first, until you discuss ways to transform this situation. There are answers. You simply need to find someone more experienced. Remember to smell the roses! Tonight: Relish the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You might be quite happy spending time at home. You might be a bit more contrary and touchy than you realize. Lighten up about what is happening by sharing your reservations with someone you care about. Tonight: Enjoy a warm, easy dinner.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • As you know, how you say what you are thinking can make all the difference in how your message is received. Your smile proves to be a winner and helps you work through a negative feeling. Tonight: Out and about.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Someone you care about could be quite stern and difficult. A conversation will help clear the air. You cannot always buy peace. Treating this person or buying a card will not clear the air in the same way. Tonight: Gather your tax information, if you haven’t already.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Your strong personality melts others’ restrictions and boundaries. On some level, this ability might not be for the better; others could become uptight and embarrassed at a later point by what they’ve revealed. Tonight: Choose what you enjoy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Say less and try to identify with other points of view. Sometimes by expressing what you think to an abundance, you turn off someone else and never really get his or her perspective. Tonight: Choose an activity that you like to do by yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Don’t hesitate. Zero in on friends and a happy get-together. A partner could be rather sour and touchy. Tonight: Enjoy every last minute of the weekend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Someone you count on might nix anything you bring up. Rather than feel negative or put out, sit down and talk through these hassles. Tonight: You could go till the wee hours.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Whether off exploring a new exhibition or a quaint area, you are up for adventure and change. Sometimes explorations into the unknown help you gain a different outlook and perspective. Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Rather than have an attitude, change your style and try to discuss what appears to be a problem. A child or loved one will respond. Tonight: Plan on cozy.
