Look at what will bring you the greatest sense of well-being. Do not lash out at a parent or higher-up. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average
This year you often need to regroup and reassess what is going on around you. Clarify and confirm messages, agreements and meetings in order to avoid misunderstandings. Be careful with spending, as you are prone to go overboard when you are upset or angry. If you are single, the next 12 months will introduce you to someone quite special and unique. You will know when you meet this person. If you are attached, the two of you tend to go off on wild goose chases, and have a great time doing it. What you want as a couple can be manifested this year. PISCES adds to your creativity.

A wallet with several credit cards and a cellular phone were later found to be missing as well. The suspect had gained entry to the residence by prying open a sliding door and fled the scene through that same door upon contacting the victim.
