Working with others always takes talent, no matter how good you are at
it. You might want to mobilize another's support. You discover that you
cannot do a project or event alone. Welcome changes. Tonight: Say yes.
Taurus
Others dominate, and you feel that is OK. Knowing when to put a halt to
a problem could be important. You might not be able to stop the
project, but you can extricate yourself from the process. Someone might
let you know how angry he or she is. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.
Gemini
You make a point of doing something in a particular manner. Your
ability to move a project forward or do something differently might be
important to a partner. Right now, let this person ask. You will be
happier. Tonight: Easy works.
Cancer
Your creativity flourishes under pressure. You enjoy what many cannot.
Let humor, fun and happiness punctuate your day. A relationship warms
up because of your enthusiasm and understanding. Tonight: Let the fun
continue.
Leo
You want to understand what motivates others. Primary to this process
is understanding what makes you tick. You could become argumentative
out of the blue. Be smart: Walk away from a hot problem. Tonight: Easy
does it.
Virgo
If you're wise, you will notice your building anger and decide to
express it not as rage or frustration but as hurt. The sooner you
express these fragile feelings, the better off you (and others) will

thoughts.
Libra

the different options. Stay focused on the long-term goal. Tonight:
Your treat.
Scorpio

also might move away from this person. A discussion is animated and
important. A positive approach goes far. Try it. Tonight: The world is
your oyster.
Sagittarius
Slow down. You might need some private time to deal with a child or
loved one. Others demand your presence, whether you are ready or not.
Be willing to act on a problem rather than ignore it. Take an overview.
Tonight: Vanish quickly.
Capricorn
You might be more serious than your norm. Relax and join a friend or
two who extend an invitation. You can't say no any longer. Deal with
someone directly on a one-on-one level to achieve the results you
desire. Tonight: Where the party is.
Aquarius
Look toward a public appearance. If someone you care about is
contentious, know that it is for a good reason. Work with a partner if
he or she is open enough. You are vested in a certain outcome. This
attitude could be a problem. Know when to let go. Tonight: A must
appearance.
Pisces
Hop in the car and take a day off to relax. Where you explore, of
course, is your decision. Refresh your energy and recharge your mind in
