For Tuesday, Aug. 27

This year people often don’t know which way you will go in situations where your opinion is needed. Sometimes you will be stubborn, as you believe that your idea is the best. If you are single, others could be confused yet intrigued by you. If you are attached, you could confuse your sweetie.

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)

•••• You are surrounded by several people who are quite self-indulgent. You will want to initiate a serious discussion, but the playfulness around you might create a somewhat chaotic atmosphere. Tonight: Throw yourself into the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• Use the morning for anything major you must do. You will feel more empowered than you have in a long time. Tonight: Start or finish a project at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• If you feel like moving slowly, you have the right idea. Initiate a long-overdue conversation with a loved one only when you feel energized and creative. Tonight: Return calls, then decide.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• Focus your attention on others, on an important business meeting and/or on an opportunity to head in a new direction. You might be difficult to stop once you start moving. Tonight: Make it early.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• You tend to take on more than your fair share of work and responsibility. The good news is that you know when to kick back and start enjoying yourself. Tonight: Where the action is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Look at the big picture, and consider your options. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• You might want to look past the obvious with a partner. Try to root out the real cause of this person’s interpersonal issue. Tonight: Listen to a great piece of music.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• You might not be comfortable with everything that others are saying. Don’t automatically deny what you hear, as you will get confirmation to the validity of at least part of the message. Tonight: State your feelings in an appropriate discussion with a partner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• Continue with your focus on work. Little will be able to distract you until midday. Tonight: Reach out to a friend at a distance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• Review a recent decision before approaching a loved one. A change of mind is not out of the question. Tonight: Relax — you need to unwind.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• If you are able to, try to work from home … at least through the morning hours. A key situation will encourage you to deal with it first. Tonight: No one can deny that you are a “people person.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Brief calls could turn into lengthy conversations. You might feel as if your whole schedule is being taken over! Tonight: Head home. Face it — you are tired.
