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 have a lot going on. The issues you are dealing with could concern money or emotions. A friend might give you advice but is not seeing the situation clearly. Tonight: Quality time with that special person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You could easily be distracted by those around you. A boss only adds to the confusion. Let others call the shots, as what you say and do might be irrelevant for now. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might need to get down to the hard facts. What you do does make a big difference at work. Focus on the here and now, and get a project done. If you daydream, you could make a mistake. Tonight: Do something utterly relaxing.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your imagination and resulting ideas make sense to you, but might not to an associate or partner. Don’t worry; you just need to frame your ideas differently. Use care with funds. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be disappointed when someone forgets something essential and basic. Don’t go into a cocoon. Rather, start talking out a problem and allow yourself to open up as well. Tonight: Be a couch potato.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You say the right words to make others happy. However, you are easily distracted. If you feel bored, you need work that is more fulfilling. You want to make a difference. Tonight: Go cruising to a favorite spot or two.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Worry less about a child or loved one. You sense that this person is pulling the wool over your eyes, and you are right. But you cannot confront this situation just yet. Tonight: Recognize how much play money you have.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are king or queen for the day. You might be a bit confused about a property investment, a domestic matter or a relative. Worry less. Focus on where you can make a difference. Tonight: What makes you happy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might need some downtime. If you can, take a personal day. Otherwise, steer away from crowds. You also might misread someone’s comment. Focus on work. Tonight: Be unavailable.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might not be sure which way to go. Even when others give you a strong sense of direction, you get confused. Delegate or ask for help. Relax with a partner or associate. Tonight: Get home as soon as possible.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* Do not follow your instincts right now. Go for facts and information, and find experts. Ask a question rather than make an assumption. Don’t listen to gossip. Tonight: Let your mind relax.
