For Tuesday, Sept. 17

This year you often go back and forth when trying to make a decision, as you clearly see both sides of an issue. If you are single, you might not want to commit this year, even though you could meet someone spectacular. If you are attached, the two of you often debate who does what, as far as household chores go.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

••• You could be unusually verbal, but you also will choose to hold back more of your feelings. You might express some of your stronger emotions to a close confidant; otherwise, mum’s the word. Tonight: Take time for yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• You finally will focus on what you want. A meeting could be provocative — mainly because of the mix of people involved. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••• You like to demonstrate your ability to make waves. Right now, all eyes are on you. You’ll take the lead in a project, and others will observe. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• You often defer to others and then get angry because you feel as if they walk all over you. Who do you have to blame but yourself? Tonight: Let your mind wander to your favorite type of music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• You’ll feel the downward spiral of working very hard and not getting your way with a key matter. This realization will happen at the last minute and force you to regroup. Tonight: Take your cues from someone else.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Your popularity soars, and with this status comes opportunity. Take advantage of the moment. Tonight: In the flurry of the moment.
