JACQUELINE BIGAR
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you often reflect on what has caused certain problems to have emerged in your life. As a result of this reflection, you’ll have the knowledge and power to change direction. You are likely to create a new beginning for yourself where you feel you need it. If you are single, you will be unusually magnetic through the summer. Know what you want from a relationship, and you will make good choices. If you are attached, you will need to guard against being too me-oriented. Remember, it takes two to make a relationship work. You will draw a fellow Taurus closer to you.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Your energy might startle someone. Your high drive emerges when you are focused on an important issue or matter. Your approach could evoke a surprising reaction from many people. In any case, use care with your funds and your spending. Tonight: Try to appear a bit wiser.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
You could wake up with a realization that might surprise you. You are likely to gain a new understanding of a certain situation as a result. Try to do little until late to mid-afternoon, when you suddenly blossom and express the best parts of your personality. Tonight: As you like it.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Your nervous energy could be a little high, so try to choose more physical activities. As a result, you’ll feel better. Anything involving research, reflection or writing would be best handled later in the evening. Tonight: Test out a new approach on a friend or loved one.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
You could find a boss to be rather explosive and unpredictable. You might not be sure what would be best to do under the present circumstances. Try to come to terms with this person’s behaviour, and then focus on your goals. How intrusive is this person? Tonight: Hang with a pal.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
News illuminates your morning. You could be pondering a sudden insight for a while. You will gain clarity because of your ability to detach and see the big picture. Understand what an authority figure is sharing. Tonight: Get a stronger vision of possibilities because of a discussion.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
An associate could easily throw your plans into chaos. Relax a bit, and understand that you can accomplish everything with just the slightest change of pace. Detach and take a hard look at what has been bothering you. Tonight: How about some mind candy? Perhaps a computer game?
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Others dominate, no matter how many good ideas you have or how often you interject an opinion. Others are on a roll—you can join in, be an observer or feel left out. The call is yours. By mid-afternoon, a conversation is inevitable. Tonight: Opt to be with a favourite person.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Though you could really dive into a project in the morning and approach it with a fresh perspective, distraction is likely to hit by mid-afternoon. Be willing to loosen up your schedule. An opportunity to chat and network could come up. Tonight: Be a social butterfly for a night!
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
You will want to move quickly on a creative idea today, though you might need to speak to others at a later date about what you are doing. In the afternoon, follow the logical sequence of what is happening. Understand what you need to do. Tonight: Get some extra sleep.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
You could be in a position where you would prefer to stay close to home. How you handle a personal matter might be disruptive to those you live with. Mending fences or helping someone feel more comfortable will become a dominant theme. Tonight: Be a little naughty.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
You might be in a situation where you are on the receiving end of someone’s sudden changes. As a result, your nerves could be fried. Recognize what is happening within your immediate circle, and listen more. Consider working from home. Tonight: Visit with a loved one.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
You could be dealing with an unpredictable situation that really might start to irritate you. You are likely to feel as if your finances are on a bit of a roller-coaster ride. Talk to a trusted friend who seems to have a better sense of direction. Tonight: Speak with a loved one.
