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)

•••• An idea that might have come from a dream pops up during the day. You wonder why you hadn’t thought of it sooner. Tonight: Follow a partner’s or friend’s lead.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Defer to others. You might feel that you can go off and handle other matters, but a personal or domestic issue needs handling — the sooner the better. Tonight: A friend surprises you!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••• Clear out as much as you can right now. You might need to screen your calls in order to accomplish today’s goals. Supposed “news” has the opinions of others laced through it. Tonight: Someone acts in an unexpected manner.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Settling into the workweek takes talent. You could find that your imagination is still in weekend mode. Tonight: There’s still time to be a wild thing.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• If you want to work from home or just take a day off, why not? You might feel that you want to restructure your life. Tonight: Respond to spontaneity.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Others appreciate hearing from you. You might feel tense about one specific call or relationship. Tonight: Catch up on e-mail and calls.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Curb a need to have and to control. Look at what you have to offer, then maybe you can trust your desirability and talents. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••• Your strength usually is an asset. An authority figure could be challenged by this trait. Part of strength is knowing when to bend. Tonight: You are a force to be dealt with.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•• You are able to detach when faced with a problem. Others sense there is an issue. Tonight: Having no plans is OK.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• You are able to mobilize a conversation in a meeting — finally, though there still might be a disagreement. Tonight: Don’t worry. Wherever you want to be.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• Take a stand, understanding your limits with a key person. News from a distance could be difficult to hear. Resist creating uproar. Tonight: A must appearance.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• Sometimes saying little and listening a lot is the best approach. You will discover that once you detach, you’ll get more done and won’t get into any petty issues. Tonight: Follow the music.
