This year, you will need to channel your energy well in order to prevent unnecessary volatile situations. Don’t suppress your feelings; rather, express them before they hit the point where you lose self-discipline. If you are single, relating also assumes an active role. If you are attached, if open, the two of you could work through a lot of previously hot issues. Sagittarius and Scorpio can test your patience!

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)

•••• A situation where you have to give more than you are comfortable giving might trigger some frustration, if not anger. Tonight: Detach. How about some yoga to relax?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Your temper is close to the surface, and you find someone to be provocative. Ask yourself whether you are projecting your stuff onto this person. Tonight: Defer to a close friend or loved one.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••• Funneling your temper into your work might be best for now. The side effect could be carelessness when dealing with machinery, tools or glass. Tonight: Touch base with a friend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• You might not realize how pushed you are by a situation or how triggered a friend might be until the fireworks start. Tonight: Exercise your stress away.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• You are perhaps more anchored than you are aware. Putting so much energy into your work might be good, but it also could make a boss or associate feel pressured. Tonight: So what if it is Monday?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• New information or news from someone in the know or at a distance comes forward. Try to detach and absorb what is being said. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• Honor what you want, and be more in touch with your needs. Curb a need to have things your way, especially as that attitude today could lead to a lot of flak. Tonight: Hang out.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Though you might judge that everything is copasetic, you have a surprise on the way. Someone else is of the opposite opinion. Tonight: Make a gesture.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• Lying back during the earlier part of the day clearly works best. A co-worker, family member or friend starts acting as if you are competitors. Tonight: Do what you want.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• A meeting or get-together also could be a source of friction and jealousy. Try not to get into this adversarial position with others. Tonight: Not to be found.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• You might want to discuss a situation with far more color and flair than you need to. A boss or supervisor also could push you very hard. Tonight: Hang with your friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Reach out for others at a distance or someone with greater knowledge than you. You will want their feedback, but at the same time become contentious. Tonight: Head home.
