If you are single, you meet people with ease. Carefully check out anyone you have an interest in, as he or she could be emotionally unavailable.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You might not recognize or claim your power. Your instincts encourage you to go within and self-evaluate. You could feel an intensity that is difficult to explain. Someone else’s motives seem to revolve around control. Maintain a healthy distance. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You know what you are doing, though you could be inspired by a friend or a dream. Keep your goal and your good intentions in mind. Excesses could occur out of the blue, perhaps over a meal that suddenly turns into a party. Curb a tendency to be angry or frustrated. Tonight: Where the action is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You feel an intense connection between you and an older person. Your imagination seems to know no boundaries. One-on-one relating proves to be intense, and it also encourages you to gain a fresh perspective. Avoid power plays at all costs. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might want to defer to someone who seems more in control of the situation and knows what he or she needs from others. Listen carefully, and be receptive to what this person has to say. Don’t push so hard to achieve your long-term goals. Tonight: Note what is being said.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Reach out to someone with whom you often have significant conversations. A discussion might touch on a power play. Use caution with spending, and don’t go overboard. You might be tempted to break the budget, but try to resist. Tonight: Indulge a little. Enjoy those around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to try a different approach or allow someone else’s suggestions to open a door. Avoid a power play, especially if a loved one is involved. Recognize your limits with a key person; allow him or her to run the show, while you detach. Tonight: Go along for the ride.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might want to move forward, but first rethink a personal matter more carefully. On some level, you could feel as if you are sitting on top of Mt. Vesuvius. Be careful not to trigger the volcano. Use care around a volatile person. Tonight: Choose an effective stress-buster.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You could be very sorry if you don’t continue on your chosen path. Distractions seems to surround you. Do you really want to get more involved in a control game? Allow your ingenuity to point to another method of handling this situation. Tonight: Start having more fun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Emphasis is on home and family. Some of you might want to check out an investment that involves property or other family members. You long to become more independent and be your own person. Discuss, consider and debate the possibilities here. Tonight: Happiest at home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you care about. Your ability to read between the lines allows you to come out on top. Without intending to, you often find yourself in all-or-nothing situations. Others might feel as if you have power over them. Tonight: Hang out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will enjoy what comes down the path toward you. Be willing to indulge a little when choosing a gift for a loved one. You will discover the power of giving. A partner initially could express some anger. Be aware of a difference in how you view money. Tonight: Out and about.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The Moon in your sign highlights your possibilities. You might feel that, with a friend’s help, you could make something you desire possible. In your desire to achieve this goal, be careful not to mow over someone else or ignore his or her needs. Tonight: Wish upon a star.
