For Sunday, Sept. 2:

The way you react could change this year, as surprises become commonplace. What is a given is that you can expect the unexpected. If you are single, take your time getting to know the apple of your eye; there could be surprises along the way. If you are attached, you learn that you cannot control anyone’s responses except your own, and sometimes not even those.

•••• You wake up on the right side of the bed this morning. Unfortunately, everyone around you wakes up on the wrong side. Tonight: Go for original.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••• Read between the lines when speaking to someone. This person isn’t saying what is really going on with him or her. Tonight: Get some extra sleep.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• You could have a tussle with a partner or close friend. Truth be told, you really won’t be too upset about the outcome. Tonight: Tomorrow is Monday. Live it up!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• Take a stand, and observe what is happening behind the scenes. You might want to organize a get-together or handle an important matter. Tonight: Could be late.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You might need to be more forthright with a child or feisty friend. He or she could throw a tantrum, no matter what you do. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• You might want to lighten up a bit. A friend or loved one appears to be full of energy and vigor. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• Be impulsive and go with the moment. You might surprise yourself by how wild you could get. Tonight: You wild thing.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• If you don’t need to go far from home, don’t. Your sense of humor comes out when a family member acts up in an unusual manner and encourages you to laugh. Tonight: Meet friends at a favorite dinner spot.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• Often, you are not as conscious of your behavior and motives as you’d like. You could save yourself — and others — a lot of aggravation if you would take some time to better understand your reasoning. Tonight: Treat yourself.
