HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 9, 2020:

This year, you make waves wherever you go. People cannot help but notice your charisma and friendly nature. You have new choices available to you at work and with friends and family. If single, do not commit unless you are 100% sure. If attached, the two of you add a stronger sense of connection to your relationship. For some of you, this warmth might stem from finally taking that special trip. LEO admires your coolness and ability to handle touchy situations.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Without intending to, you could create an explosive situation.

This Week: Others want to run the show. Let them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ The unpredictability that is slowly being attached to you seems justified if you pull back and look at your knee-jerk reactions. Take some time to yourself and prioritize what is important. Tonight: Indulge a loved one.

This Week: Tap into your creativity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Reach out for a loved one or dear friend. A late brunch might be just what the doctor ordered. You can maximize the moment and catch up on fun news. Tonight: Be diligent. Think about the week ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Use the daylight hours for yourself. You enjoy your Sundays sometimes doing a crossword puzzle or making calls to friends you have not visited with recently. Others respond to your energy, and by late afternoon, you might want to join a pal. Tonight: Where the action is.

This Week: You feel as if you are on shaky ground. Try to avoid making any agreements.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Get some important errands done quickly and efficiently. Fatigue could wear you down as the day ages. Be willing to change plans if need be. A loved one or dear friend lets you know how important you are. Tonight: How about dinner for two?

This Week: Try to rein in your impulsiveness. You could wind up paying the pied piper.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Others look to you for a hint as to how they should respond to a complex situation. It is only complex because someone wants it to be.

This Week: Hold on tight. Agreements might not be solid at present.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Call someone you rarely speak to. You both care a lot about each other but have very little time to visit. Decide to change that pattern. Check in with an older person, boss or key family member in the afternoon. Tonight: Plan on dinner at a favorite spot.

This Week: Your friendly ways help you through a tight moment or two.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Reach out for someone you care about who you might have been unintentionally ignoring. Getting together or even just chatting on the phone catches you up on news. Do not hold back. Tonight: Try a new experience.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Get as much done as you can in the daylight hours. You might need to do an errand or catch up on calls. Late in the afternoon, your popularity takes over. Whatever your plans are, they could change. Tonight: Out and about.

This Week: If you feel like life is about to spin out of control, you might be right.
