HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Appreciate the ease of relating to others that you seem to be experiencing right now. An awkward moment could occur when relating to a child. You might need to figure out what is going on and take another stab at this same conversation. Tonight: Till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You finally will be able to identify with a partner over a difficult issue or need. Nevertheless, you still might not agree with this person. For the sake of peace, consider going along for the ride and seeing what happens. Tonight: Make plans for a summer getaway. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ability to get through problems is heightened. You will need to defer to someone else more frequently; otherwise, you could find it difficult to relate to this person. Both of you have valid ideas. Hold off on making judgments for now. Tonight: Buy a token gift of affection. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your diligence and willingness to pitch in will score high with others, specifically a close

friend or loved one who counts on your caring. You could be feeling as if you don’t have enough time to do what you want. Revise your schedule if need be. Tonight: Play it easy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 24) You have so many ideas right now that you might find it difficult to get into a routine, though you might have to. Others seem to enjoy your upbeat nature, but a boss expects more, and that becomes clear. Avoid a problem rather than create one. Tonight: Be fluid. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to rethink a matter more thoroughly. You might not realize how important this issue is for you until something goes wrong. Keep a steady course. Reiterate any question if you are not clear about the response. Tonight: Go out and let off some steam. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Speak your mind and get past an issue. Everything will work out, though perhaps not immediately. For now, you need to be more in touch with what you need rather than what others need. News heads in from a dis-

tance, and quite quickly at that. Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use good sense with your finances. You need to hear what someone else has to say. You might be thinking of an investment for which you will need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Tonight: Have an important discussion with someone in the know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will appreciate the support you get from several people. The real question is: Can you open up more without feeling like you are taking a risk? Someone might surprise you with an insight that is not only provocative but also enticing. Tonight: A quick check on your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be much more involved in a situation than you need to be. Why not deal with the issue another day? Tomorrow would work. Try to stay out of noncontroversial waters, as it probably won’t bring you any kind of benefit. Tonight: How about a massage? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will zero in on what is important and go full speed ahead. You could discover that the time has come to act. Use caution with someone whom you need to have an important discussions with. You might reveal a lot about yourself. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) No one likes dealing with mayhem, especially with finances, but you’ll witness a friend create just that. You could be taken aback by this person’s bluntness. Know that you need to get involved. Just be polite, and don’t let him or her get to you. Tonight: Time for some fun.
