HOROSCOPE

Aries ( March 21-April 19): Does a friend really have your best interests at heart? Or is there a personal gain overshadowing the arrangement?

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You have a loose connection with hundreds of people, but you’re tight with only a few. The weak ties will be useful now.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll be involved in the maintenance and upkeep of something you own. This is no day at the beach, but at least it’s something you’ve been expecting.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your loved ones do get insecure, especially if you don’t return their calls promptly. Your speedy response will allay all fear.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll have the perfect reason to unleash your lion’s roar and make a difference. It’s not that your voice is so loud; it’s that it’s yours.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your stance is stronger if you do not try to defend it. Assume that you have a right to feel the way you do, and go forward with conviction.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today will deliver the consequences of a past action. It will likely be highly satisfying to finally close this loop.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): With your eyes closed, you will peer into the depths of your own being. The plunge you take feels honest and a little strange.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You would love to experience spiritual illumination, but you’ll be happy to settle for a simple explanation of what is going on in your personal life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll live and work in harmony with the same people who once posed a threat to your peace. It’s a sign of how far you’ve come.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may not be able to deliver what others want from you in the time frame they would most prefer. Name your terms. Everything is negotiable.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Staying on top of details will be challenging. Tonight, a harmonious outcome depends on how willing you are to see another person’s point of view.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 19): Intellectual horizons open up this year. An element of mystery and glamour accompanies your March adventures. Interesting friendships develop out of your political and cultural pursuits. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 13, 2, 22 and 14.
