Tonight: Go for the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Tonight: In the limelight.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Keep reaching out to an expert to help you make a decision. If you can postpone having to choose right now, you would be well advised to do so. A day or two wait will help you gain a different and more successful perspective.

Tonight: Go off and try something new.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Tonight: Seek advice.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Tonight: Make it early, if possible.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Tonight: Paint the town red.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
