Jacqueline Bigar King Features

Aries (March 21-April 19) – Your fiery nature comes out when you are challenged. If you can, pull back and gather new insight about yourself. Talks heal, but they also could be volatile. You might be in the mood for some uproar.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) – As soon as you believe a matter is settled, there is a reversal. You could feel a bit crazy about what is going on. Don’t even try to get a consensus of opinion. You might think you have it, only to find out otherwise.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) – You are definitely out of kilter, and others find out quickly. Visualize more of what you want, and seek professional opinions. Don’t voice judgments just yet. Others act out of sorts, especially those you need to deal with.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) – You might be more vested in having something go your way than you realize. Although you think someone agrees, an expert or associate questions your decision or information. Detach if you can.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) – Money matters could quickly make you crazy, as others flip-flop back and forth, changing their minds. You could become most irritated. Go off and do something just for yourself. Let go of nervous tension.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You might be as much of a problem as an associate, but you cannot see that for all the tea in China. Differences of opinion could erupt into arguments. Try to stay civil and gentle if you can. That attitude works in the long run.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – You could be upset by what you hear, but being upset won’t resolve the issue. Pull back, detach and pull out, if possible. Your reactions are very strong. More is triggering you here than you realize. Stay home if you can!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – All the creativity in the world cannot make all the people happy all of the time. Just when you believe you have resolved a problem, you discover otherwise. Toss your hands in the air and get your work done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – Hide out if you must. You seem to be in the vortex of a tornado, at home, work or wherever you go. Stay calm and make this your mantra: This too will pass. Keeping your cool does make a big difference.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You easily see all the different perspectives that surround you. You might attempt to reason with different individuals but have a difficult time calming everything down. Instead, catch up on research or e-mail.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – You appear to be in a push-and-pull situation where you cannot win. Rather than try to settle the issue, which very well might not be possible, get more information. Seek out an expert or two. A partner means well.

– Others seem just plain awry no matter which way you turn. You add your touch of unpredictability. Understand how reactive you are and how reactive others might be to you as well.
