For Sunday, Aug. 24:

Dodge negativity, perhaps turning it into responsibility. If you are single and if you have not met someone special this past year, you still might. This person could light up your life. If you are attached, add more of the romance back in. Gemini can push you into the limelight.

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)

¢¢¢¢¢ Reach out for others, staying in touch with even those at a distance. Examine news with a touch of cynicism, but don’t let thoughts mar a fun outing with family and/or friends. Tonight: Wind down.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ Expenses easily could whirl out of control. You want to say “no”; if feeling insecure, you might want to bolster your ego in another manner. Tonight: Accept and then enjoy.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ In between energy and enthusiasm, you could feel dragged down. If you want to take off for the day, do. Tonight: Decide what is best for you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢ Break past a problem and get some perspective. Sometimes, doing nothing or distracting yourself can be healthy. Tonight: Get extra sleep.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Once more, you are reminded that although you can control your own responses, you have no control over others. Tonight: Choose what works for you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢ A sense of not being able to attain your goals marks your reactions and mood. Pull back and understand what is happening. Tonight: Check in on an older relative.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Reach out for others, with less judgment. If you can put your feelings aside, especially if negative, you will recharge. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ A friend could be difficult, or an older friend might need a lot of attention. One-on-one relating takes you to a new perspective and allows greater give-and-take. Tonight: Talk over a dinner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Others could challenge what you thought was a sure-bet idea. If you are responding in a depressed manner, do not be surprised. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ Listen to what is being said between the lines. Let your imagination rock and roll. Tonight: Don’t push a key matter.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your creativity bubbles up. A wild idea that seems great to you might be difficult to sell to an important friend or loved one. Tonight: So what if it is Monday tomorrow?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Listen to your instincts with a child or loved one. Your sense of direction intrigues many. Tonight: Visit with family.
