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)

••• Take needed downtime. Unexpected morning news will only add to your fatigue. Pressure builds as the day ages. People have expectations you might not want to meet. Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Keep your priorities in mind, but don’t lose the trust of a friend whose input you value. A lot of excitement surrounds others. Be open to the unexpected. Try to calm down by the evening. You will have less energy then. Tonight: Early to bed.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Your smile can win friends, even if you are dealing with a stern taskmaster who finds that you are not doing what he or she wants! Don’t worry, as people are unpredictable. Schedule a get-together with friends and/or family later this afternoon. Tonight: Where the action is.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Keep pushing to get beyond the obvious. Perhaps a walk or drive could recycle your mind and give you a new perspective. You are full of life and fun. A partner might be testier than you realize. Remain steady as others falter. Tonight: A must show.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••••• A partner might surprise you with what he or she could resort to if not satisfied. Know that this person is not kidding! Listen to what might seem like a preposterous point of view. As the day ages, your perspective matures. Go to the movies to relax, or get into a board game. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••••• Others’ unpredictability could have far more impact on you than you might like. You might want to retreat. You feel as if you are caught between a rock and a hard place. Relax and try to determine how both perspectives could be achieved together. Tonight: Talk over dinner.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• The unexpected keeps bubbling up when you’re handling your plans. Your perspective will change radically if you relax. Not everything is as you first think it is. Others could be difficult late this afternoon. Handle a domestic matter head-on. Tonight: Go with another person’s choice.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• Allow greater freedom and openness between you and a child or new flame. A sense of respect needs to build, along with a sense of trust. You might feel pressured by certain errands or calls you need to make. You can only postpone them for so long! Tonight: Hang with friends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• Nothing is wrong with opting for a slow day at home. Your plans might be a lot different from reality, as a surprise could greet you around any corner. By midafternoon, you opt for a fun pastime, even if it is only a game of racquetball or volleyball. Tonight: Add fire to your life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• Add that extra sizzle into your life. How you handle a situation could change radically as the day progresses. Though you might talk through it, you also need to think about the conversation and decide what works. Tonight: Curb a tendency to be ornery.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• Remain aware of your expenditures. You might feel pressured by a financial matter, but as you relax, you will see a situation differently. Underneath all the thought, reflection and brainstorming, you hold a judgment that is limiting you. Tonight: Hang out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Use the earlier part of the day for exactly what you want. You could be a lot more tired than you realize. Yet your tendency or fondness for the unexpected takes you down an interesting path. Be careful with extravagance. Tonight: At a favorite spot.
