For Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2017:

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You seem to experience a surge in your energy. Seize the moment, and accomplish as much as possible. Head in a new direction or get involved in a different type of activity, if you wish. It’s not often that you get clear sailing. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Make an effort to break past a selfimposed restriction. You might be uncomfortable for a while, and you could have difficulty getting past this issue, but you will do it. Consider where this learned behavior comes from, as that might help you let it go. Tonight: Play it low-key.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The key to your happiness and success is a certain group of friends. Your awareness will be enhanced by today’s interactions. The giveand-take amazes you, but you don’t often take enough time to reflect on its importance. Tonight: Invite a friend over for some munchies.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your willingness to take a stand on a specific issue comes through. A friend or loved one could be active in this scenario. Your actions will catch others’ attention. You’ll witness some controversy, but know that you get to call the shots. Tonight: Check in with an older relative.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Reach out to someone with whom you often share some controversial ideas. You trust this person’s knowledge and ability to handle problems. You’ll appreciate his or her feedback. Remember that you give back to this person in other ways. Tonight: Catch up on emails.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Close relating brings you a great deal of happiness. Rethink a decision with the knowledge that it could have ramifications. If you are sure of yourself, you will know what to do. If you are wavering, take your time. More information will come forward. Tonight: Chat the night away.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Defer to someone else. Observe more, and it could change your attitude and the way you deal with this person. Don’t let politeness prevent you from speaking up. Holding your tongue at this point won’t do you any good. Tonight: Someone wants you to be part of his or her plans.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t lose sight of your goal. You might be easily distracted by what is going on around you. Listen to what someone else is sharing, but stay on topic. Focus on the details that might be instrumental in making a project work. Tonight: Go on a long walk and get some fresh air.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Squeeze in a fun break with a friend. Taking a step back nearly always adds to your energy and gives you a different perspective. The more you detach, the higher chance you’ll have for success. Your focus could be on a relationship. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might feel as if your home life adds a lot to your immediate happiness. You know what is needed to please someone who is instrumental to your domestic life. An investment will prove to be well worth it. Avoid taking any risks right now. Tonight: Happiest at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Share your thoughts in a caring way, without any criticism. If you feel as if something of importance should be said, wait until the topic emerges on its own. Return calls and emails before making plans; otherwise, you might need to change them! Tonight: Hang out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your feelings make all the difference when dealing with a key person. Though you are an emotional person, you don’t often allow yourself to make fast decisions on this level. Use care with spending and making any financial commitments. Tonight: Run some errands.
