Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2018: This year you welcome new ideas and others’ support. You can be wilful, and often will want to have your way. However, your sense of wellbeing becomes unusually strong, which allows you to be more fluid and open. If you are single, you are in a state of reevaluating many aspects of your life, so take your time committing to someone. What feels right today might not be the case in a few months. If you are attached, the two of you work well together in daily life, handling any issues that come up. Leo knows how to get your attention.
