Don't take anyone for granted, especially a key partner, associate or friend. Though you don't mean to push, you could. Knowing when enough is enough could be instrumental. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of a personal decision.
Taurus
Communication opens up. Finally you have time to complete a much-needed project. Invigorate a situation by presenting a totally different and possibly eccentric point of view. Tonight: You seem to naturally do the right thing!
Gemini
Understanding the costs is very important before you make a commitment. How you deal with a seemingly extravagant associate could change a lot. Investigate with an eye to something better. Think positively. Tonight: Invite a friend out for dinner. Catch up on news.
Cancer
You are full of laughter and fun. Listen to what someone shares more carefully. Only you know or understand the ramifications of a personal risk. You don't need to push or force your way; others remain pliable. Tonight: Go for what you want.
Leo
Take in more information. Recognize your options, choosing to deal with only those you trust. Pick and choose who you confide in. Understanding evolves to a new level. Be open to reorganizing your daily life, if need be. Tonight: Confide in someone you trust.
Virgo
You gain deeper insight into the depth of a problem. Perhaps you don't realize how many supporters you really have. What is really important is not to take someone for granted. A meeting helps you confirm which way to go. Tonight: Where people are.
Libra
Often you are looked to as the final authority in a changing panorama. You will like what comes up, no matter which way you opt to go. You don't need to talk others into following you. They are watching and probably will join in. Tonight: A must appearance.
Scorpio
Read between the lines. Travel and people from a distance might be tied to a new outlook. Your ability to visualize comes forward, though it might be hard to impart this vision on someone else. Know that anything is possible. Tonight: Allow your mind to wander.
Sagittarius
Knowing your course ahead of time could be more important than you realize. What someone means as a kind comment comes off quite differently, at least to your ears. Don't personalize what doesn't need to be personalized. Tonight: Togetherness is a great theme.
Capricorn
Defer, and you'll come up with answers. Others' comments prove to be resourceful and important to your well-being. Touch base with associates and other key people. Amazing or surprising news filters in your direction. Tonight: TGIF.
Aquarius
How you handle a changing situation could be intriguing to many but time-consuming for you. Ask for help or consider another approach. Someone will be very pleased to give you a helping hand. Tonight: Easy does it.
Pisces
Your energy provides many opportunities -- you pick your course of direction. Much changes rapidly if you allow it too. Someone you care about opens his or her eyes and sees you differently. This effect could be mutual. Tonight: Add that touch of romance.
