ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t keep your hobbies to yourself. Sharing your passions with a friend or partner may make it twice as fun. Putting all your eggs in one basket may put you at a disadvantage if things don’t go your way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make the most of new encounters. Get involved with your community by volunteering or attending social gatherings. Unused abilities may take flight when exposed to a wider range of contacts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The idea of a secret is not to tell anyone. Don’t betray a trust by blabbing privileged information to someone. Look for ways to make improvements, both to your house and to your appearance.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Just because you heard something does not make it so. Don’t let gossip influence your decisions; go with what you know for a fact. There’s a difference between how it is and how you want it to be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A little confidence can take you a long way. Remember the Little Engine that kept saying, “I think I can...” and let that be your inspiration. Today, you’ll find that the best things in life really are free.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): No two people are the same. The beauty of the world is reflected in the diversity of each and every individual. You shouldn’t be concerned if a family member’s way of thinking seems alien to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The message may not be what you want to hear, but you’ll love how the messenger presents it. A pat on the back and a few kind words should be all it takes to brighten your day. A little exercise never hurts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Open your mind. There’s no such thing as bad knowledge. Let your brain become a sponge for any and all information that comes your way. Don’t let a miscommunication cause unnecessary strife.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Boasts may ruffle some feathers. Even if you only speak the truth, nobody likes to hear a braggart. Make up for lost time by devoting most of the day towards some quality time with family.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Share the wealth. Upon honest reflection, you’re doing fairly well, so it won’t hurt to be charitable and lend a helping hand to those less fortunate. Don’t forget that charity begins at home.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Promises don’t need to be empty. A face-toface discussion might open your eyes to new possibilities. Once convinced that something or someone has merit, don’t be afraid to act or to offer praise.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t limit your dreams. Long-term goals and objectives can be like a shooting gallery: The more targets you set your sights on, the more likely you are to hit one. Discussions with loved ones may offer revelations.
IF FEBRUARY 23 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You are getting better all the time. In the next several months, you can improve your health and develop lasting habits and insightful goals with far reaching consequences. Your growing sense of intuition and compassion can be used while forming business strategies to help yourself while helping others. You are at your best in April when intuitions are on target about financial matters. July is the very best time to make a major change in your life, such as taking a new job or moving into a new home. That is when you are best equipped to make informed decisions and lasting commitments.
