IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you embrace a more dynamic personality. Others sit back when you enter a room, as you exude energy and enthusiasm. Your friends and loved ones naturally defer to you. If you are single, you will meet someone you’ll want to get to know well. Take your time deciding whether you can relate to this person as fully as you’d like to. If you are attached, the two of you smile even more when you are together. You’ll have conflicts, but if you understand where the other person is coming from, you will evolve as a couple. PISCES encourages you to spend your money.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Curb a tendency to be possessive; make more of an effort to get past this type of behavior. Some of you will find other ways to handle your insecurities. You might be gentler and more caring than you choose to let on. Get into a favorite pastime. Tonight: Go with the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
One-on-one relating stirs up some fiery feelings. You could feel as if you are on a seesaw of emotions when dealing with one key person. Your high energy might create a hassle. Think about how much this person contributes to your personal life. Tonight: Let your naughtiness out.
