Jacqueline Bigar King Features

Aries (March 21-April 19) – Pressure builds to a new level, and you simply cannot get a consensus of opinion. Try as you might, others simply are difficult. Focus on your responsibilities — the ones that you can take care of by yourself. Don’t make anything more frustrating than necessary.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) – You might put your best foot forward, but others simply feel negative. Keep your own counsel if need be. Understand that it is the end of the week and maybe others are tired. Do not jump to conclusions.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) – Close relating draws strong feelings and reactions. You might feel uptight about what you have to offer. Don’t worry if everyone tends to be out of kilter. Relate individually to each person in your day. Excitement surrounds a relationship.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) – Try as you might, you have a difficult time relating to others. Understandably, you might want to cocoon. Consider your options for handling those you must handle. Be a listener rather than a reactor — at least for now.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) – You’ll get a lot done if you relax and just tackle one project at a time. Your biggest problem could be taking on too much all at once. Let go of negativity, and you’ll find that your day passes more easily.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Your ability to sleuth through problems comes out. You realize that a problem is serious, but your positive attitude makes all the difference. Your imagination and refusal to take no for an answer make you a winner. Romance heats up.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Don’t get involved in others’ issues. In fact, you might want to close the door and finish what you need to get done. A loved one could be testy for a while. If you can stay home, all the better. You will feel better.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – Say what you think, but know that someone else might find you limited in your thinking. Listen to this person rather than reject his or her ideas outright. Make an effort to return your calls and touch base with key people.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – You might want to avoid a partner, but cannot. You find this person unusually negative. You might feel the need to separate yourself from this person, especially financially. Take stock of your personal finances. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Though you are all smiles, someone else might not be in the same frame of mind. In fact, you might feel like your world is out of sorts. Be yourself and worry less about others. It is simply a phase.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – You might be more tired than usual. Everything feels like a problem or a burden right now. Pull back and relax. You might need to watch, observe and only do what you must. Your mood will change soon enough.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) – Your smile and happy ways help someone who might be a bit of a Scrooge come out of his or her hole. You have the unique ability to change someone’s mood no matter how stiff he or she is. Aim for what you want.
