For Sunday, June 21:

This year, open up to new ideas without so much resistance. Friends play a bigger role in your life than before. Add more spunk to your daily life; allow yourself to be more colorful. Keep your own counsel, with the exception of a trusted friend. Sometimes your mind exaggerates a problem. A sounding board might be necessary. If you are single, you meet people with ease, but perhaps don’t choose someone with equal ease. If you are attached, make special time for your significant other. A weekend retreat will help you bond even more. Gemini understands what motivates you.

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)

•••• Catch up on others’ news. Communication is rather intense. You can be far more direct — and probably will be — with a loved one. The problem doesn’t really involve caring, but other issues. If he or she clams up, don’t push. Tonight: Return calls and catch up on e-mail.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••• Weigh the pros and cons of an expenditure. How you deal with someone and your subsequent choices could change radically. A child or loved one might attempt to give you the cold shoulder in order to draw a response. Don’t get pulled into this game. Tonight: Go over your budget.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Rarely are you on a roll like this one. Tap into diplomacy when expressing your feelings and clearing the air. Passion runs high. Do be careful with someone you meet today. This person might not be all he or she seems to be. Tonight: What you want.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••• Use extra time to bolster your energy. You might want to continue a project or get together with a friend for brunch and a chat. Curb your socializing for the moment, and stay one-on-one. Recharge rather than act. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••••• Join friends and enjoy! You might be mulling over a problem. You have time to work through it. Listen to others, and let go of a personal issue. You will be smiling soon enough. Tonight: Stick to your budget.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You are more focused than you have been in quite a while. Understand what someone’s message is, whether you agree or not. Don’t avoid a must appearance or a responsibility. Tonight: Honor how you feel. Tired? Stay home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• Let your mind wander. If possible, take off for a drive or explore a new spot. Walk through a flea market. The change of scenery helps you distance yourself from concerns. Relax in a different setting. Tonight: Breathe, relax and continue to be adventurous.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• Respond to someone’s efforts. You might be hard on this person, more so than you intended. A little caring will help nurture wounds. Plans might change when a friend opts for a new direction. Tonight: Follow a loved one’s lead.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••••• You might want to defer to others right now, as you actually have other fish to fry and need to get a project done. Others come up with fun plans where you can join them at your own pace. Tonight: Be responsive to an inquiring friend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Pace yourself. You can only get so much done, and you need to relax. Don’t push too hard, and enjoy the spontaneous happenings. A child or a new friend is unusually caring. Reach out for someone at a distance. Tonight: Think “tomorrow.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• Containing your humor and fun ways can be close to impossible. Children particularly love when you tune in to your inner child. Whatever you do, others enjoy being around you. Be careful with a partner who could become jealous. Tonight: Forget Monday; live now.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Invite an older relative or friend to join with family and friends. You’ll see how much your efforts are appreciated. Intense communication surrounds a romantic relationship. Don’t worry so much if someone rains on your parade. You cannot make everyone happy all the time. Tonight: Pulling it together, thinking of tomorrow.
