ARIES (March 21-April 19) Plug into work, knowing there is a tomorrow and you might want to relax and enjoy others. Still, you cannot avoid it -- you feel certain responsibilities. Others admire your leadership characteristics but would like to get to know you personally. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you want to work with your door closed, you will. In your defense, much is going on that you would prefer not to reveal. A partnership increases in its value and importance. Stay in touch with expectations. Tonight: Add that special touch of lightness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your ability to draw someone out seems scarcely needed, as he or she talks your ear off. Listen well, as this person can be quite closed at times. Work with timing and the moment. Tonight: Happy to be home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your awareness about finances could be important, but also might be instrumental to leading you in a new direction. Your high energy helps you dissolve any problems. Consider a strong exercise plan. Tonight: Speak your mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Use your high energy and drive. What would you most like to accomplish? Now is the time to proceed. Keeping up the pace and not stopping too long is very important right now. If you feel as if you need to slow down, do. Tonight: Treat yourself to a new item.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Don't worry if you are dragging. Just be sure you have the necessary energy to complete a project. New beginnings become possible. Relax in the company of a trusted friend who reads you cold. This person understands. Tonight: Moods change. Go for what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use the daylight hours to zero in on what you want. You could have pushed too hard or been rough on a friend. Invite this person out for lunch. It is time to mend fences before too much distance has occurred. Tonight: Call it an early night.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others inform you that there is another way or a different approach. You take charge and move a situation to the next step. See how you feel and decide what you want, because you will find time to do just that. Tonight: Smile the whole way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Get more information if you feel uncomfortable with a situation. Listen to what is being shared. Communication comes forth with a child or romantic attachment. What you hear could delight you. Tonight: A must appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Bend over backward to make what is needed happen. You'll find that someone pitches in. The two of you make a team that might be very hard to say no to. Rather than make up a story, get down to the basics and just ask. Tonight: Set the mood for the weekend.
