The stars show what kind of day you’

Jacqueline Bigar King Features

Aries (March 21-April 19) – Know that you need to take a stand, even if you don’t want to. Others easily become irritated. You cannot win for losing today; so just do what you need to do or what is right. A problem could surround your family or home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) – You might have something on your mind that is preventing you from fully concentrating on a project. You might have difficulty staying in the here and now. Deal with new information and find experts. When you finally take action and become present with the moment, you know what you are doing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) – Others expect a lot from you. Know that, without a doubt, you cannot please all the people all the time. Isolate yourself and restrict communication to one individual at a time. Recognize that a financial matter might need to be put on hold.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) – You don’t have control over anyone but yourself. This statement becomes a reality today. The power is in other hands. Don’t worry; simply relax. Your family and domestic life could be another source of irritation.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) – Once more, you feel that life is all work and no play. You do your work well, but you might need a break soon, especially to maintain the caliber product you want. Speak with others, sharing your frustration. With focus, you might be able to make this a short workweek.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You could encounter problems when you least expect them. Your creativity flourishes, but somehow you keep hitting a brick wall. Think about jumping over it or walking around the issue for now.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Frustration could easily become your middle name. As much as you have a magnetic personality, others seem destined to rain on your parade. You might want to bring extra work home and take some time for yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – Listen to others. Your instincts could be a bit off. Put your thoughts on hold instead of reacting. You might want to keep a list of your passing thoughts. Communication buzzes. Return calls. Others want to chat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – Your focus on money cannot be compromised, even when friends turn up, on the phone or in person. You need and want as much monetary security as possible. Make decisions carefully.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Your personality blooms, even if another person or an authority figure tries to rain on your parade. Deal with authority figures and bosses as diplomatically as possible. Remain confident and don’t take on others’ issues.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – Take your time making decisions. Even if you can avoid others and formal commitments, you still need your space. Or at least, for now, keep your thoughts to yourself. Quickly investigate different options on your own.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) – Meetings take the front row in your planning. In fact, dealing with groups is your strength. A partner or associate could feel left out. Stay focused on your goals and don’t get caught up in all the frivolous conversations.
