This year, you can be

unusually amenable

sometimes, but

at other times,

you appear withdrawn and

secretive. Others might not

be sure what facet of your

personality they’ll encounter.

If single, you could meet

someone quite interesting

and do so without any effort

other than following your daily

patterns. The bond could

be slow to develop. If you’re

attached, you and your partner

sometimes seem withdrawn

from others, but both of you

like that remoteness. Scorpio

understands you well.

ARIES

(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).

For an active sign like you,

allowing someone else to carry

a favorite cause or issue to

its end can often be difficult.

Today, you’ll decide to do

just that in order to eliminate

some confusion and increase

efficiency.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20-MAY 20).

Others enjoy being around

you; however, your behavior of

late incorporates a great deal

of unexpected actions and

decisions. Notice a hesitancy

sometimes when a close

associate approaches you.

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 20).

You might be unusually

creative and responsive, at

least in the a.m. Midday, your

focus will be on completing a

task and making an important

call. Rather than shaking up

the status quo, start by dealing

with your unexpected reaction.

CANCER

(JUNE 21-JULY 22).

Getting going could be

challenging. Some of you

won’t be able to resist rolling

over and turning off the alarm.

Once you get going, you seem

fiery and ready to take action.

A child or loved one might be

off-kilter.

LEO

(JULY 23-AUG. 22).

You start the day feeling

empowered but notice that

your recent charm seems to

fall flat. Emphasize personal,

domestic and familial matters.

Real estate could be involved.

You could feel that a key

authority figure or boss seems

off-kilter.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).

Once you get going and handle

a money matter, you seem far

more personable. Still, you

could be stunned by someone

else’s perspective. You wonder

what’s going on with him or

her. To get the answer, try

walking in this person’s shoes.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).

You might hear confusing data

about a business or money

matter. No matter how much

you attempt to rectify this

situation, you might not be

able to get it straightened out

by later today or tomorrow.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).

You could be more difficult

than you realize, but because

of a close associate’s idea or

reaction, you get the message.

Know that you have more

self-control than you realize.

Also, you might not be able

to change the other party’s

reaction.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).

Sit back; resist reacting to the

uproar around you. You could

decide to clear out a problem,

and doing so might involve a

call to an expert. Know that

you don’t need to make a

decision immediately.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).

You could be zeroing in on a

hassle or some gossip that

might be tripping you up.

You know what you want and

expect from another person. At

the same time, you see what’s

causing interference.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).

You might want to try another

approach; it could work far

better than what you’ve been

doing. You could shake up

the status quo far more than

you realize at first. Note

how reactive a key person

might be.

PISCES

(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).

Reach out for someone at

a distance. You could feel

more pushed and challenged

than you usually do. You’ll

appreciate any possible

feedback. You don’t need to

make any firm decisions today.
