ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Juggling plans to meet another person’s needs could be exhausting. Push comes to shove, forcing your hand. Talks and communication flourish as you rarely have seen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Your even style and temperament flavor the outcome of a get-together. The wise Bull will know not to get involved with someone’s controlling behavior.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • Your innate creativity comes forward no matter what. The nature of your plans and interactions might be serious, yet somehow you infuse the situation and people with joy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • A discussion could be difficult. Just don’t allow others to pressure you to the extent that you don’t do what you want to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Understanding often takes on many different forms, and how you express that knowledge can vary. Take a catnap if you feel tired. You will recycle with ease; don’t cancel late-afternoon plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Use care if committing to a large amount of spending. Everyone has and needs a budget – you included. Make sure understandings are mutual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Your ability to get past an issue allows you to relax and really make the most out of your plans and company.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • Take your time dealing with a personal matter. If you feel as if you might want to cocoon, the only question is: Why not?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Join friends and make the most of a get-together. You don’t need to play politics, because these are your pals. Being with others restores your sense of self and well-being.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • You could be the snag during a get-together. You might not be aware of how much you rain on another’s parade. Be willing to step back and see yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • If you feel like you have tripped up on a situation, conversation or choice, step back and detach. Let go of past judgments, then revisit the issue. Reach out for others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • When you notice that someone disappoints you, rather than react, step back. At the same time, use the moment to have a much-needed chat with a loved one. At the end of the day, you’ll feel much better because of the resulting closeness.
