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)

••• Be aware of a situation’s dynamics. Your ability to visualize and perhaps entertain someone comes out. How you deal with others and the choices you make could be quite different. Tonight: Respond to an inner naughtiness.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Be friendly, bring others together and listen to what is being shared. You might enjoy yourself way beyond what you believed possible. A parent or older friend could cause you a problem with what he or she believes 100 percent is the truth. Tonight: Happy to be home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Your sense of direction and consequent actions might be surprising to some. You feel that a new beginning is possible, especially if you relax with someone at a distance. There is enormous stress around you. Tonight: Hang out with those you are comfortable with.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• You or a partner could feel ill at ease. You wonder what is happening behind the scenes or deep within both of you. Realize that what is occurring within a partnership or friendship could be important to your well-being. Tonight: Invite friends to dinner.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• Though you might be dragging and wondering what is going on, you could be very happy about doing little. Your energy peaks close to the end of the day. Make plans only when you are ready. Tonight: Acting as if there is no tomorrow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Use the daylight hours for getting together with others. You could feel overwhelmed by everything that is going on. Deal with a key partner or friend on a one-on-one level. Realize that your sense of friendship and direction is key. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Others often come to you for your opinion. How you handle others and what you do could make a big difference. Understanding evolves to a new level if you flow with a situation. Tonight: Time for fun and friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Find a relaxing escape. Know that once you detach from a family member or domestic matter, your inner dialogue will change. At that point you can come to a reasonable agreement. Tonight: Meanwhile, enjoy a drive in the country, a movie or whatever knocks your socks off.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• Clearly, one-on-one time is called for, though you might have some mixed feelings. Let go of your concerns. You will be able to make a better judgment later. Right now you don’t completely understand where another person is coming from. Tonight: Let your imagination, mind and plans meet.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• Others seek you out. The response is: Why not? Invigorate your life and give up being a stick-in-the-mud. Your energy builds in the company of a special friend. Try one of his or her favorite hobbies or another one of his or her suggestions. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• You, too, need more relaxation. The hectic pace you have kept could be draining you more than you realize. Say “yes” to a baseball game or a day out of town. Recharge your batteries in a new setting. Tonight: Living it up.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••• Use the daylight hours to socialize and indulge various loved ones. Your instincts could have an unusual impact on a decision. Hang with your feelings and give yourself a little more time. Know what you want. Tonight: Start thinking “workweek.”
