Aries (March 21-April 19)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••• You might be exhausted just looking at the many options you have. Think positively about a family member or partner, even if he or she has an attitude. Visit with others; invite friends over for a fun happening. Tonight: Happy at home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• Push does come to shove when trying to clear the air. Someone simply has a different perspective. Understand that if you choose to go in a specific direction, the responsibility will drop on you. Try to walk in others’ shoes. Tonight: A must appearance.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• Do as much as possible by phone. You could be more pushed than you thought, and might need to do something just for you. Schedule a massage or take a walk by a favorite stream. Break past the word “no,” and understand your innate limitations. Tonight: Watch a favorite TV show, or opt for a movie.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• You could be overwhelmed by a partner. Plans might change, but know that in the long run, it is better. A child or loved one proves to be a delight once he or she gets past an annoyance.
