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 don’t need an excuse to take better care of yourself. Just be willing to not accept every invitation or be at another’s beck and call. Tonight: Vanish!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Accept an invitation, if you haven’t already, to join friends. You could find yourself in the midst of a spirited baseball game or spontaneous happening. Tonight: Act as if tomorrow is Friday!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ You might want to avoid visiting with a parent or older friend. Don’t. Sometimes you make a responsibility more than it is. You will feel much better after you complete an errand. Take much-needed time at home. Tonight: A must show.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Take off with friends or a special loved one. Decide to visit a park and have a picnic or take in a movie. You will have a lot of fun with different types of plans. Everyone also will react somewhat differently. Tonight: Where there is music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ You could feel out of sorts when dealing with someone close. He or she could be difficult to please, and this has little to do with you. Understand that this person is tired and probably needs some downtime. Tonight: Make a favorite dinner.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢ You could feel more pushed than you have in a very long time. Step back and relax. You do not have to do as much as you are doing right now. A little rest will add to your energy factor. Move with the moment. Tonight: Make it early.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Share a favorite pastime with a child or loved one. The two of you could have quite a hoot, losing all track of time and place. Realize what is happening by spending just a little quality time together. Tonight: Easy does it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Creativity merges with a sense of mischief. Others simply love what occurs when they hang out and you are in this frame of mind. Tonight: Let life and fun unfurl.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ You might be happiest at home, reading the Sunday paper or relaxing. You might have had enough of a bossy authority figure and want to vanish. Do just that, and take much-needed time. Tonight: Order in.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ Read between the lines, knowing what is enough and what you cannot stop. Take off and hop into the car for a day trip or adventure. Know when to call a spade just that. Back off from an increasingly complicated situation. Tonight: Try to understand where someone else is coming from.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢ Your possessive side emerges quickly when dealing with a difficult associate. Though generally giving and friendly as a sign, you certainly do not act like yourself. Let go and relax. Tonight: Don’t make anything more complicated than it needs to be.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ You are in the thick of whatever might be happening. You could be surprised at what comes up with a special associate. Get together with friends, and everyone will have a good time.
