The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might wake up on the wrong side of the bed, but once you look at what you would like to do and have happen, you’ll feel bet- ter. Opportunities will drop on you. Optimism will help you grab them before it is too late. Tonight: The party happens where you are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Expect that others will be observing your actions and style. Don’t worry -- you have a lot going for you. The responsibility might drag you down a bit. Accept an invitation for a late lunch. You will want to start your weekend as soon as possible. Tonight: A star.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Read between the lines with someone you converse with frequently. Easily, it might be what they don’t say that is important. Detach, and understand where others are coming from. Walk in their shoes. Tonight: Blaze a new trail.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH A close encounter fits the bill right now. Whether you are having a heavy conversa- tion with the boss or an intimate discussion with a loved one doesn’t matter. You need to feel these different types of connections. Tonight: Add some spice to the moment. t Friend or Faux? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might feel as if someone close to you is testing your limits. He or she just might be. You also might want to consider how great your need to be in control is. Could this be a factor in your feelings? Let go and see what happens. Tonight: So many choices.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Pace yourself as best you can. You could be a bit overwhelmed by all that you need to get done. Curb a tendency to look at rising issues bleakly. Your attitude could make or break a situation. Watch. Observe. Tonight: Easy does it. Seth Bundy/KANSAN t LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH kid spectacle You might be worried about fulfilling a commitment right now. You will do just fine. Have more faith in your creativity. A money investment or risk might look good now, but tomorrow you could be singing another tune. Tonight: You carry the weekend celebration banner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH If you can hang close to home, all the better. You will be able to complete any project more quickly in this environment. An opportunity could be irresistible. Why not go for it? Tonight: Don’t stray far from home. Calleb Goellner/KANSAN t College Ruled comics SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Choose your words with care, as others really are listening. Your feelings could well over if facing an emotional situation -- be it happy or sad. Communication flourishes, especially if you use your verbal skills. Tonight: Catch up on another’s news.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might not realize the impact of a money decision on you and someone else. In fact, finances could be causing an issue between you and this person. Associates and friends show their true colors. Tonight: Avoid spending more than you Sam Patrick/KANSAN want. t the empire never ends AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You have much more magnetism than you realize. Someone could be giving you a hard time, but look at everyone else! Your popularity soars, and in return you revitalize and have more energy and time. Tonight: You call the shots.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Play it low-key, and you will be far more content. News from a distance could be ex- citing. Keep this info hush-hush until every detail is shored up. Sometimes you need to relax and let events unfold. Tonight: Not available. Travis Nelson/KANSAN
