In this mood, you take charge and make Wes Benson/KANSAN sure events tumble according to your plans. Carefully understand your limits. What might have been a problem no longer is. Tonight: A must show. t The empire never ends SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Be grateful for another’s gesture. He or she is trying to make your life work and flow. You are able to really help someone feel better. Explore options through calls, an expert or perhaps the Internet. Tonight: Easy does it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Finally, your life runs in a more copacetic or positive vein. Though you might overindulge or get a bit carried away, you still are able to relate on a much deeper level. Think positively about a key associate. Tonight: Say yes to a special friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH A positive attitude flourishes Travis Nelson/KANSAN through your work. You have no way of handling a personal matter but to let others have their head. Forcing your ideas and opinions will not work at all. Think positively. t friend or faux? Tonight: Surf through different possibilities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Delightful happenings could surround this morning. A business-as-usual attitude develops later in the day. You might not understand exactly what someone wants. Do your best, and you will stay on top. Tonight: Easy does it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Make it OK to approach the morning with a lazy, relaxed attitude. This Friday’s approach will allow you to be more positive and forthcoming later in the day. Your creativity surges in this relaxed mood. Seth Bundy/KANSAN Tonight: Just let yourself be happy. <_dZj^[F[h\[Yj=hWZkWj_ed=_\j\eh>_c
