This year, you often

find yourself in a

power play and

unsure of what you

want. The best way to handle

this type of situation is not

to play or react. If single, you

might go through several

different people this year.

You’re about to meet Mr.

or Ms. Right. Don’t worry! If

attached, you love sharing

time together, discussing

far-out ideas. You often can

be found just the two of you,

sharing and laughing. Aries

knows how to provoke you into

listening to or working with

them. You know how to say no

if you’re not interested!

ARIES

(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).

Though you often can be

found on the go, sometimes

you get hooked within a

situation. You might be

involved in a power play, finally

recognizing the dynamics

today. Unless you want a full-

scale battle, let it go.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20-MAY 20).

You may feel the need to

pull back some to handle a

problem. Right now you must

look at what is ailing you. What

do you need to change? Give

some thought to the issue at

present rather than opening

up discussions.

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 20).

Zero in on your priorities.

You might not be as sure as

you might like when dealing

with an issue around a

friend or family member.

You might prefer to avoid

the chat in question. Just

know that sooner or later, the

conversation will be necessary.

CANCER

(JUNE 21-JULY 22).

You have extraordinary appeal

right now. A person who you

often see during the day

lets you know that he or she

would like to get to know you

better. Decide whether you’re

interested and how to handle

this situation.

LEO

(JULY 23-AUG. 22).

If you experience a last-minute

snafu involving a creative

idea or project, detach. You

might be disappointed, but a

resolution becomes possible if

you stay cool. Look at the big

picture and consider how the

other party feels.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).

A one-on-one conversation

could lead you down a path

different from the one you’ve

chosen. The talk was authentic

and realistic, so don’t shrug off

the alternative.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).

Others could be unusually

demanding. Let them take

the lead and create what they

insist upon having. You could

want to put some substantial

distance between them and

you.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).

You could accomplish the

lion’s share of work if you

resist temptation and an

invitation. Ultimately, the

decision is yours, but consider

the long-term implications as

well. You’ll know which way

to go.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).

Your playfulness and ease

with risk sets you apart from

most people. You clearly have

several admirers who would

like to have as easygoing a

personality as you have. Open

up a conversation about risk.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).

Fundamentals count right

now. You understand, but

many others don’t. You need a

strong sense of security, which

stems in part from a solid

relationship. You might feel

conflicted at the moment.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).

You are likely to read into a

conversation and another

person’s reaction and see

things that don’t actually exist.

Make an effort to interact with

others, and don’t take them

for granted. You’ll become far

more appreciated as a result.

PISCES

(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).

Be aware of costs. Count

your change. Balance your

checkbook. A discussion

around money and work will be

quite important. Ensure that

you have an adequate sense

of what you want, offer and will

accept.
