YOUR horoscope
For Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018: ARIES (March 21-April 19)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You are determined to make a difference. Know that you are likely to run into the unexpected. Your smile opens doors and permits you to lead others through this wildly emotional day. Stay calm, but be ready to take the lead, if need be. Tonight: On top of the world.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
You could experience some fast changes that you did not anticipate. How you deal with a close friend at a distance could surprise not only that person, but you as well. Understand your limits. Realize what is expected of you, and happily oblige. Tonight: Read between the lines.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You could be emotional and somewhat unclear about what to do. Trust that in a few days, you will have made the right decision with the help of a partner. You seem to be overwhelmed when considering the pros and cons of a financial situation. Tonight: Make headway.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might feel as if there is no other choice than the present one. Stay more in touch with what you need. Do not hesitate to forge ahead to make your wish a possibility. Others seem testy at times, and at other times could be quite accommodating. Tonight: Go with the flow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You can be difficult and touchy. In fact, today you might feel more irritated than usual just doing your normal thing. If you don’t feel comfortable with what is going on, stop and reflect on the issue before starting up a conversation. Ask questions. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You could be at a point where you can’t deal with the stress surrounding an older person or relative. You would be well-advised to keep your cool for now. Do a better job of listening and digesting information. If others seem off the rails, don’t worry. Tonight: This, too, shall pass.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You could be trying to approach a situation differently. Stay with the tried and true for now, while you weigh the pros and cons of a potential new direction. Take your time, as it could be difficult to reverse course at the last minute. Tonight: Plans could change at any moment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You will need to stay on top of what is causing you and a close friend some stress. You might not be as comfortable handling a certain financial arrangement as you thought you’d be. Support yourself, especially if you feel the need for change. Tonight: Pay bills first, then decide.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You might want to head in a new direction. Your vision could be changing because of a new set of needs and desires. You are likely to make this adjustment more gracefully than you had thought possible. Others will respond better than you had anticipated. Tonight: All smiles.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Reach out to someone you rarely spend time with but trust implicitly. The two of you will enjoy the bantering back and forth. Whether you realize it, you are helping each other question one another’s beliefs in order to make a health, strong decision. Tonight: Make it early.
