Aries (March 21-April 19) ••••• Keep reaching out for those at a distance who, perhaps, you have not spoken to in the past week. It is never too late to wish others a happy new year. Tonight: Follow your instincts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) •••• Be sensitive to what is happening with a parent or older friend. In some cases, key people could make demands that take you aback somewhat. Tonight: Share with a key partner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••••• You could be far more of a challenge than you are aware. How you handle a changing situation could vary. Certainly there isn’t only one way. Tonight: Follow another person’s lead.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••• You have been putting such an enormous effort into the holidays, nurturing those who are less fortunate or less content. Tonight: Escape needs to be the theme.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• You might be right about letting go and simply enjoying yourself with those around you. Someone who is too serious could make you very uncomfortable. Tonight: Someone close knows how to surprise you!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Stay close to home, and honor your feelings. You might want to stop and do something just for you. Tonight: Let spontaneity rule.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• Keep talking and reaching out to others. A long conversation could be inevitable, but it is important. Tonight: The unexpected occurs.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••• You have a unique quality of being able to put yourself 100 percent into what you are doing. To some, you look overindulgent. Tonight: Your treat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••••• You are in your element. Still, you have a hurdle or two to jump, especially with a friend. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• Assume you don’t have all the answers. You listen to someone you respect and discover how much you have to learn and incorporate into your thinking. Tonight: Vanish while and if you can.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• You are a sign that naturally gravitates toward friends. This Sunday demonstrates just how important your pals are. Tonight: Accept an invitation, and don’t worry about the cost so much.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• You might be causing a stronger reaction than you intended. In fact, you could be pushing someone away whom you never intended to. Tonight: Could be late.
