HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You are a rescuer. By needling and kidding your love ones, and by laughing at yourself, you will save the world from the deadly disease of self-seriousness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Settle yourself down and suddenly you’re headed toward a sort of wise passivity — a state of mind in which you will be able to observe what’s going on with very little interference.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Ambiguity doesn’t have to cause stress. Yes, there are a few different ways to read the day, but they are complimentary interpretations.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Most of the day will be spent caring, helping and doing. However, when presented with the opportunity to relax, don’t miss out on some well-deserved enjoyment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You are not a tram on the road of life — an engine that moves in predestined grooves. You are free to make the turns.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

When things get a little tense, it might help to think of this as an adventure, or the movie you’re starring in.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Many gifts are impossible to repay, though there’s some nobility in trying. And so you’ll go about it today in a way you know is not enough.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The joys of reuniting are not possible if you never part ways. You’ll hold in your heart the wonderful anticipation of being together again soon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21).

It takes many years to know yourself well enough to pace yourself. Of course, this is different depending on the particular endeavor and your time of life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19).

Plato suggested the measure of a man is what he does with power. Sometimes you don’t feel like you have enough of it to tell really, though you have more than you exercise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18).

The dance of your daily life involves a fair amount of diplomacy. Want to know how people really are? Play a game.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

How many times have you seen a winged bug crawl around? So many. Just because wings are an option doesn’t mean that flying is the best way.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 9).

See new places in May and August. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 7, 33 and 28.
