ARIES (March 21-April 19)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others might appear to be demanding, but all they really want is your company. Relax and enjoy your many friends and loved ones. Someone declares his or her feelings for you. Is it mutual? Only you can answer that question. Tonight: Ever popular.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might have a key project on your mind that needs to be completed if you are going to free yourself up. After all, don't you want to join your friends? Parties, barbecues and summer sports surround you. Tonight: Find the activity that pleases you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Finally, you have met your responsibilities and can go out. Enjoy yourself to the max. What do you really consider fun and worthwhile? You can be sure plans need to involve a loved one or a new flirtation. Tonight: Forget that tomorrow is Monday.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have been such a socialite lately that you need some quiet time at home to be with the cat or your family. You of all signs need grounding. Work on achieving that centering today, because who knows what tomorrow will bring? Tonight: Watch TV; read a book; relax.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You find get-togethers worthwhile and enjoyable. Be aware of the fact that a friend might be more difficult or touchy than usual. Make time for a chat. Tonight: Visit with neighbors, family or friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have been eyeing a new expenditure, though you might want to postpone the purchase. Invitations come in left and right. You will want to be where the action is. True to your nature, you will overindulge and go overboard. Tonight: Live as if there is no tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The Moon in your sign puts the focus on you. Your ideas are greeted with enthusiasm, with the possible exception of a difficult person at a distance (or could this be an in-law?). Don't hold back; share your feelings. Tonight: Aim for the bull's-eye.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Know when it is time to exit. You have given enough and shared a lot. You need to recharge your batteries.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Friends want you, and as the sign of friendship, nothing could please you more. Listen to all the different invitations. You actually might try to squeeze everyone in. Don't get distracted by running around. You could be accident-prone. Tonight: Think "now," not "tomorrow."

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Know when to raise your hand and put a halt to the frantic pace. You might need to stop in and visit with an older relative or get a head start on a work-related matter. Just don't overdo it. Take some time for yourself. Tonight: Treat yourself to a favorite meal.
