For Tuesday, April 25

Those with birthdays today: You might be much happier if you assume a more relaxed attitude this year. Often, people react and say things that put you in a funk. You are also unusually sensitive this year and frequently need to be alone to center yourself. Ask yourself: Could the comments you hear be more of a statement about the person you are dealing with? If you are single, you might choose a more private relationship. Be sure this person is emotionally available. You don’t need to settle. If you are attached, your relationship will benefit from frequent time alone or away together. Share more of your vulnerabilities. ARIES knows you a little too well for comfort.

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)

¢ Don’t push away someone who cares a lot about you. Tension will build if you don’t handle a domestic or personal matter. Yes, you have unusual magnetism, but in some situations it might not help. Tonight: What you want.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢ You have always known that words are powerful weapons. But you see an excellent example of this phenomenon today. Rise above pettiness. Don’t personalize what you hear. Tonight: Do your thing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢ Crowds, meetings and friends seem to hold unusual magic right now. You could be overspending or driving someone away. You might want to rethink a money matter. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢ You could get irritated with a boss or a situation that surrounds your immediate world. Putting on war paint isn’t going to help calm down the situation, but then you might not want it to. Tonight: Out late.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢ Detach and take an overview. Your instincts could be colored by frustration. Slow but steady works far better than you realize. Seek out experts if a situation becomes complicated. Tonight: Relax to a movie or music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢ Deal with others individually. Your willingness to be vulnerable with a key person in your life can and will make a difference. Interest surrounds an investment. Tonight: Be a duo.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢ Many people tap on your shoulder. Though they might ask for your opinion, they really won’t integrate your ideas right now. Let events unfurl, trusting that all’s well that ends well. Tonight: Follow through on another’s plans.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢ Pace yourself. What your sixth sense tells you might be in direct conflict with what is going on. Say little and concentrate on what you must do. You can accomplish a lot. Tonight: Find your favorite chair.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢ Your get-up-and-go could easily trigger someone in your life. Listen to this person gripe, but don’t feel as if you need to do anything about it. Tonight: Allow only good times to enter the equation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢ A low profile might work best. You easily might need some peace and quiet to think through a problem or hassle. Others could be challenged. Know when to be unavailable! Tonight: Leave the answering machine on.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢ You can understand and work with nearly anything. Your sense of friendship pervades even the most difficult situations. Still, be aware of certain responsibilities or errands. Tonight: Favorite place.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢ Slacking off could be costly, but you still might choose to do just that. You could be bored by the routine. If that is the case, think of a positive way to recharge your interest in your daily life. Tonight: Go overboard.
