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)

You are far more in control than you think you are or might like to be. Sometimes blowing your fuse feels good, but it ultimately might cause a bigger problem. Tonight: Breeze around.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might charge like a Bull today, but it might not be because you are seeing red. You simply have a lot to do and the energy to do it. Think carefully before deciding about a money venture. Tonight: Wind down.

You are holding back a lot of strong feelings. How you choose to express them might be important, as you could be causing yourself unusual distress by holding them in. Tonight: Keep smiling.

If you want something or need to talk through a problem, there will be no stopping that process today. You could find an associate to be pushy. Listen to this person’s message. Tonight: Early to bed.

You might be hard-pressed to perform to your highest ability. Someone could give you flak, but you need to clear out some important tasks. Don’t question your judgment midway. Tonight: Work, then join a friend or two.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Push to get more information. The more facts and opinions you receive, the better the choice you can make. Don’t worry if a situation seems complex. Break past normal thought patterns. Tonight: Explore different possibilities.

You can count on a partner to sort through different options. In fact, you can lie back and just listen. You could be delighted by news or a new perspective. Tonight: Togetherness.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Others might be too direct for your taste. You don’t have to absorb what they say. Think through what you hear, but don’t respond. Why bother? Tonight: Make time for a chat with your best friend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your get-up-and-go could intimidate others. Realize that you are a whirling dervish right now, while others can barely clear out their work or projects. Tonight: Slow down, please. Let others catch up to you.

You seem to be a fountain of ideas and creativity. Others might seek you out as a result. You might be put off by a difficult or testy loved one or child. Don’t be. Tonight: Let your imagination choose.

Rather than get into a mini-rumble with a family member, try rearranging the furniture or getting into a home project. At this time of year, be wise and get your heating checked. Be efficient. Tonight: Home is your castle.

You might be more abrupt than you realize. You have a way of saying things or a general impatience that others pick up on. Guard against clumsiness. Tonight: Laugh with friends.
