Don't push away someone who cares a lot about you. Tension will build if you don't handle a domestic or personal matter. Yes, you have unusual magnetism, but in some situations it might not help. Tonight: What you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★ You have always known that words are powerful weapons -- you have known that for a long time. But you see an excellent example of this phenomenon today. Rise above pettiness. Don't personalize what you hear. Tonight: Do your thing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★☆ Crowds, meetings and friends seem to hold unusual magic right now. You could be overpacing or driving someone away. You might want to rethink a money matter. If something is costing you too much, say no. Tonight: Where your friends are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ CANCEL you could get irritated with a boss or a situation that surrounds your immediate world. Putting on war paint isn't going to help calm down the situation, but then you might not want it to, either. Tonight: Dut late. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Detach and take an overview. Your instincts could be colored by frustration and anger. Slow but steady works far better than you realize. Seek out experts if a situation becomes complicated. Tonight: Relax to a movie or music. 150 (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sent. 22) ★★★★ Deal with others individually. Your willingness to be vulnerable with a key person in your life can and will make a difference. Interest surrounds an investment. Still, a friend might be more vested than you realize to bring you in. Tonight: Be a duo. LIBRA (Sat, 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ LEBRA (sept. 23-04, Dec. 22) Many people tap your shoulder, even when they really want you ask for your opinion, they really won't integrate your ideas right now. Let events unfurl, trust that all's well that ends well. Tonight: Follow through on another's plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Pace yourself. What your sixth sense tells you might be in direct conflict with what is going on. Say little and concentrate on what you must do. You can accomplish a bit. What is left pending will remain so for a while. Tonight: Find your favorite chair. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Your get-up-and-go could easily trigger someone in your life. He or she feels challenged by your sense of direction, vision and ability to carry through. Listen to this person gripe, but don't feel as if you need to do anything about it. Tonight: Allow only good times to enter the equation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) ★★★ A low profile might work best. You easily might need some peace and quiet to think through a problem or hassle. Others could be challenged or, at best, hard to contain. Know when you be unavailable. Tonight: Leave the answering machine on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ****** You can understand and work with nearly anything. Your sense of friendliness pervades even the most difficult situations. Still, be aware of certain responsibilities or errands. You have to meet daily demands first. Tonight: Favorite place. PICSEN (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★ ★ Stacking off could be costly, but you still might choose to do just that. You could be bored by the routine. If that is the case, think of a positive way to recharge your interest in your daily life or work. Tonight: Go overboard.
