Daily horoscope

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you exhibit fiery, determined behaviour. You will take action when need be. You won’t hesitate to stand up to someone if you feel it is important. Friends, some new, will applaud your courage. Your immediate circle widens as well. If you are single, many people demonstrate interest in getting to know you better. You will meet someone whom you might think is perfect. Make a point of finding out! If you are attached, your sweetie learns to adjust to your strength and determination. ARIES can be even more volatile than you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

No matter how much of an effort you put into a situation, it seems to make no difference. The lack of completion might make you feel somewhat useless. If you keep getting the same reaction, change your approach to get the response you desire. Tonight: Blow off some steam.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You are likely to have a strong reaction to a new friend. Your concern stems from your fear of possibly being hurt. You also might experience some discomfort juggling the situation and your feelings. You have a tremendous need for control. Tonight: Do a vanishing act.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your friends might be demanding a lot from you. For others, a meeting could take up a good part of the day. You’ll need to spend some time dealing with a domestic matter. Know that you might experience some discomfort. Tonight: Where you are, others want to be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Don’t push yourself too hard, especially when dealing with authority figures. You have things you want to accomplish, and you might feel encumbered by others. You likely will need to do a juggling act. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have a tendency to make good decisions because of your ability to detach. Funds might be involved in a decision. Get some feedback from someone in the know. You might sense that the facts have not been completely presented. Tonight: Be reasonable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A one-on-one discussion could make you feel very uncomfortable. The other party involved won’t hesitate to start a crusade over any issue. Your awareness of this unpredictable behaviour worries you. Tonight: Visit with a person of your choice over dinner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Defer to others, as they seem to need control. You might hear things you’ll wish you’d never heard, but ultimately you know that the people involved will work it out. Keep your suggestions to a minimum. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s entertainment ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Meetings could become a hotbed of ideas. People will be willing to throw even their off-the-wall ideas into what turns out to be a brainstorming session. Though you might not receive immediate agreement, you will in time. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Emphasize your creative process. You tend to come up with great ideas, which is why an authority figure asks you for feedback. Know that this person might keep pushing for more. Be honest but polite. Know when to give in to this person. Tonight: A must appearance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Stay centred, and know full well that ideas will be forthcoming if you remain open. Your mind will be drifting to a personal investment, but others will demand your attention. You might feel like saltwater taffy being pulled in two different directions. Tonight: Stay close to home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Listen to news that is forthcoming. You might want to spread the news or gossip to a dear loved one. Expect a strong reaction. One-on-one relating will prove to be satisfactory despite a volatile note that persists throughout the day. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You could be hearing a lot about recent expenditures. Another party seems to feel strongly about what needs to be done. Don’t try to argue with this person. You might be surprised by what he or she thinks and presents. Use care with your funds. Tonight: With a favourite person.
