This year, you often feel like someone puts the kibosh on your ideas or plans. Travel could be difficult, as could dealings with foreigners. If you are single, you could meet someone who might not be what he or she seems. If you are attached, as a couple you will gain from weekends away from your responsibilities. Libra seems to be more difficult than in the past.

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)

••••• Take a strong hand in an immediate situation. Perhaps a little less responsibility would make you happier, freeing up time for key priorities. Tonight: Head home ASAP.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• New information could toss your life into chaos. You also might discover that you are burdened by everything that you have to do at this point. Tonight: Read between the lines with a friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Work closely with a partner in order to get results. Your ability to negotiate comes out. Tonight: Discussions seem to go on forever.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Your ability to read key people in your life needs to come forward. You could be tired and feel as if someone is dragging you down. Tonight: Let someone else decide!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• Maintain a steady pace. You could be a bit out of sorts. You’ll get a lot done, quite quickly, if you focus on work, not people — just for this moment in time! Tonight: Stop at the gym.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Remain sensitive to your limits. Are they self-imposed? Are they realistic? If you know the answers to these questions, when a risk moseys along today, you will know which way to go. Tonight: Just be yourself.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• Your fatigue or weariness with recent events breaks through, perhaps coloring your day. Tonight: Happy at home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• You seem to be at the right place at the right time. Many reasons could force a smile, but recognize that your perspective could be colored by the moment. Tonight: Clear out some hurt feelings.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• You might be overwhelmed. Just when you thought someone was coming through, you hit a snafu. Tonight: Take care of yourself first.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Pushing someone really doesn’t get the desired results. Someone you need to answer to is very stern and/or direct, creating an unanticipated problem. Tonight: Do your own thing.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• Don’t push beyond your normal level. How you see someone and the choices you make reflect your inner self. Tonight: Vanish.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• Consider dealing with someone differently than in the past. A partner does not see eye to eye with you and lets you know it in no uncertain terms. Tonight: Visit with a friend.
