ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • You might start the day in work mode, but by noon, many of you are thinking of the upcoming few days. Realistically, there is a lot to be done, and you see that clearly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • You can express a lot of creativity. Understanding will evolve in a new direction if you can relax with someone you consider to be rather highbrow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • You could be surprised by a friend and his or her ideas. At the same time, you start looking forward to the weekend even more.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Talk about what is on your mind, and learn more about where others are coming from. You easily could overreact to someone’s statement, making a situation more difficult.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Don’t hold back. You might be surprised by what you really want to say. When you turn on the tap, you’ll gain an unexpected insight – perhaps into yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Try to indulge and relax a little. Often, because you are so practical, you can get wound up about a money issue. Let go and enjoy what is happening with a close friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • Move with your feelings. You could see a situation topple over when you least expect it. Open up to new ideas and preferences.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • Know that you might need some time alone, especially if you feel your nerves tightening over an unexpected development. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • You gravitate toward groups, and today is no exception. A child or new attachment could create an uproar when you least expect it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Try to avoid making commitments or plans until later today. Many unanticipated surprises could surround you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Keep a conversation open. You might be startled by what someone shares and have a strong reaction. Your ability to detach counts, allowing greater give-and-take.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Others seem to possess the control you seek. A meeting exposes some issues, perhaps in a manner you had not yet considered.
