HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2017: This year you move in a new direction, but not without hitting some conflict along the way. How successfully you achieve your long-term goals will be determined by your willingness to fight for what you want. Do not back down. If you are single, you could meet someone who makes you want to sing at the top of your lungs and dance through life. This person will be significant to your life. If you are attached, the two of you often go to battle over some key issues. When you’re both on the same page, you become a powerful couple. Capricorn tends to play control games with you.
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) You handle responsibilities well. Your sense of well-being allows greater ebb and flow and less rigidity. A conversation with a superior or someone in power could take you down an interesting path, if you decide to go along with his or her ideas.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your ability to see past the obvious elicits strong ideas. Once more, a situation calls on your talents. A friend might be mired in uproar, unable to find the right answer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you are able to go along with others’ ideas and suggestions, you will be more successful. Clearly, you have to move past a problem and come to an agreement with a key person. Your creativity will help you come up with the best suggestion.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll continue to defer to others, as you seem to be overwhelmed by everything you need to do right now. You have answers, but whether they work for you is a different matter.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll tap into an imaginative scenario involving a new project. You might be focused on moving through this process quickly. Schedule a checkup with your doctor, if you are due. Don’t neglect your health, or you are likely to set yourself back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You often say what you think and do what you say. You might find that there are many different directions in which you could head. Refuse to become angry if a child or loved one pushes you too hard. Avoid getting involved in a power play.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are in your element as you interact with others. A neighbour might want you to pay extra attention to what he or she has to say. You could find an issue involving property to be quite contentious, and in some way unexpected.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel as if you are off-kilter. Don’t worry; in a few days you will blossom into the person you want to be. Honour a fast change that occurs between you and others. Do more listening and less speaking. Don’t make a financial decision today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be feistier than usual. However, it is likely that no one has noticed your present mood. In order to make your point clear, you’ll need to stand your ground and speak up. A loved one is likely to try to help you relax and see the other point of view.
