News or gossip might force you to put your thinking cap on. You will be able to sort through what is realistic and worthwhile to pursue. Others could give you false advice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ***** A conflict might occur between what you think you want to do and the end results. Your light and frivolous side doesn't always emerge, but sure enough, today you — yes, you — might get flaky. A partner reacts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **.** Continue maintaining a low profile, for your own sake. Others could be inordinately touchy and difficult. You might not want to deal with them, though you'll have little choice. Others could get a bit upply. You can handle it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ***** Speak your mind loud and clear. Someone you need to deal with carefully could be in an absolute twit. Hold on tight and don't lose your temper, as you might need to revamp your plans. Important information heads in your direction. Return calls. VIRIG (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ****** Review a personal matter, knowing that you might need to make a mental or physical adjustment. This change is as hard as you want to make it. You have every ability to cruise through any booerangs if you detach. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ***** You might not be sure how you want to handle a personal matter, Risk-taking is a no-no right now. Don't be surprised at what occurs if you lie back and let others play out their agendas. Let them see the results. LIBRA (Sept. 23, Oct. 22) **** You might easily stick your foot in your mouth, causing a lot of problems. You will want to muzzle yourself, especially after a potential incident. Work on detaching, and you'll become far more comfortable in your skin. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ****** Aim for precisely what you want, though don't be surprised if it costs you a bit more than you think. Use the daylight hours, when you naturally have more punch. Use the later day for reflection and thought. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *★★* Let problems bypass you as if they were waves and you were the skipper of a boat. You will love what eventually comes down. Others will simply want to jump In and join you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** Though you might be upset or swallowing anger, refuse to jump to a conclusion. Seek out facts before you make a mistake or a judgment. You might change your perspective. Dennis Lu/KANSAN AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ***** As you determine your limits, you would be wise to test them on a close friend or associate. You truly might not want to hear what he or she says, but you absolutely must. How you view a friend changes. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ***** Others could drive you stank raving mad if you let them. Don't. Remember who you are and where you are coming from — OK? Review a situation openly. Something or someone could easily change his tune if you don't corner him.
