'Padmavati' made with good intention: Shahid Kapoor ASTRO SPEAK Take an adventurous approach, Aries, espe- cially when it comes to love and romance. Don't get moody or down in the dumps when things don't seem to be going your way. It's up to you to change your attitude. Trust that things will improve when you turn the corners of your mouth up instead of down. Stop wor- rying about every little issue that comes up. Take it all in stride. Love is coming your way, Taurus. You're like- ly to be more passionate than usual. Be care- ful that your enthusiasm for the object of your desire doesn't go overboard. It's possible that you have an unrealistic view of the situation. It also could be that someone is leading you on and making you think something that isn't completely true. MAR 21 - APR 20 ARIES APR 21 - MAY 20 TAURUS The fast actions of the day may confuse you, Gemini. Don't be surprised if your head is in a whirl over recent events involving love and romance. You may feel as if things are happening too quickly for you to really understand them. Try not to be so ana- lytical. You may find that you're chasing a lost cause while the train is pulling out of the station. Hop on board and leave the other issue behind. Your dreamy nature is going to be sparked today and you may take an idealistic view of the world, Cancer. Even though the current situa- tion isn't exactly how you view it, that doesn't mean you can't change the situation to make it more the way you want. Be courageous when it comes to your goals. Let your fantasies run wild and work to turn them into realities. MAY 21 - JUN 20 GEMINI JUN 22 - JUL 23 CANCER Be more optimistic than usual today, Leo. It's important that your intense emotions don't bog you down. You may lose sight of important facts. Maintain a healthy relationship between you and reality. You may find that your head is in the clouds and you're slowly slipping into some netherworld that has nothing to do with you. Don't get thrown off course. JUL 24 - AUG 23 LEO You may be in quite the party mode today, Virgo. Be open and social with the people around you. Take off on a wild adventure that quenches your thirst for spontaneity and fun. Stay up late and talk to a friend you haven't seen for a while. The time to live is now. Make the most of every moment of your life. AUG 24 - SEP 23 VIRGO Searching for the hidden meaning in things may be a waste of time, Libra. Go with the flow and have fun. The more you relax, the more relaxed people will be around you. It will make for better chemistry in general, regardless of whom you're with. You need to be a friend if you want to make friends. Don't turn everyone into your enemy. Take the chance to get to know them. Your creative nature is at a peak today, Scorpio, and the artist within you is tempted to come out and play. Indulge in a fantasy world that makes you happiest. Escapism may be a necessary element to the day in order to balance all the hard work you've been doing. Express yourself creatively through whatever means available. SEP 24 - OCT 22 LIBRA OCT 23 - NOV 22 SCORPIO You're likely to feel a burst of energy encour- aging you to engage with others in fun, cre- ative projects, Sagittarius. Join a group of musicians and rock the night away. It's OK to spend a good part of the day up the clouds. This is where you operate best. There's no need to resist this tendency. If other people become frustrated by your otherworldly atti- tude, that's their problem and not yours. Issues regarding love and romance are likely to improve quite a bit over the next couple weeks, Capricorn. The thing to be most concerned about today, however, is that you may take an unrealis- tic approach to current relationships. You might be in a dream world in which you perceive the situa- tion to be quite different from what it actually is. Be careful of this tendency. NOV 23 - DEC 22 SAGITTARIUS DEC 23 - JUL 20 CAPRICORN When it comes to situations regarding love and romance, it might not be a bad idea to lighten up a bit now, Aquarius. You might be taking things way too seriously in this area of your life. Consequently, it's difficult for others to get close. You may very well intimidate them. Take a more fun-loving, easygoing approach and see where the adventure takes you. JAN 21 - FEB 23 AQUARIUS This should be a fun day for you, Pisces. You should enjoy a good mood and social times with others. Don't do anything that requires disci- pline or realistic thinking. This is a better day to simply have fun and relax. If you must work, do your best to keep your mood up. You can have fun even if you're being productive with menial tasks and duties. FEB 20 - MAR 20 PISCES ENTERTAINMENT
