Th is year, you will

be unusually quiet

and often extremely

intense. Others might

treat you with more respect

and care as a result. If single,

the person you choose today

might not work for you in

a year or two. Go through

a complete year before

committing. If attached, you

might be hitting a bump or

two as your sweetie adjusts

to the “more serious” you.

Be open to his or her ideas

and suggestions. Scorpio

understands you well.

ARIES

(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).

If you relate on an individual

level, the results will be far

better. You need to focus on

each issue, call or interaction

that heads toward you. Let

your imagination fill in the

gaps, yet know that you could

be off. Listen to what is shared.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20-MAY 20).

Try to get through a hassle

without making a big deal. At

least try to make it look as if

you flowed through. Another

person’s curiosity could be

piqued, making him or her

want to get to know you better.

Be willing to share your mental

outlook.

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 20).

You recognize how much you

need to clear out before you

can relax and go with the flow.

Do not push someone too hard

or have this person carry more

responsibilities than normal.

You could find that he or she

cops an attitude that you

would prefer not to deal with.

CANCER

(JUNE 21-JULY 22).

You might want to be more

creative and upbeat in dealing

with a work associate or

person you often say hi to.

Perhaps the time has come to

say yes to an opportunity or

invitation that will allow you to

get to know each other better.

LEO

(JULY 23-AUG. 22).

Your imagination could go

haywire when sharing a playful

moment with a child or loved

one. Your feelings might

come up quickly in dealing

with a difficult associate.

Be diplomatic and avoid the

hassle.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).

Do not allow another person

to challenge or intimidate

you. Someone around you

could be unusually insightful

but challenging at times. This

person often seems sarcastic.

You might want to close down

rather than deal with his or her

issues.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).

Curb a need to be possessive

or have others agree with

you. You could be dealing with

finances, which could make

it even more difficult to get a

consensus. A family member

offers a suggestion.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).

You know you have a problem

resolved. In fact, in hindsight,

what you thought was a

problem was simply a pebble

on the road of life. You might

want to get past or not deal

with someone who is a downer

-- at least for today.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).

The less you initiate and

commit to at the moment,

the better off you will be. The

situation will change in a

few days. You could feel as if

timing is working with you at

that point.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).

It might be time to stop

stepping back and thinking a

decision through. You could

find that you never make

a decision as you question

this or that. Emphasize your

friends and a long-term desire.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).

Be ready to take the lead

and make a long-term wish a

reality. Honor a new possibility

and check it out before

committing to any certain

path. Choose what is most

workable and creates the best

product.

PISCES

(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).

Reach out for someone at a

distance. This person knows

how to make you smile when

you feel down. Open up to new

ideas and look at a situation

from a distance. You could

come up with a unique idea.
