Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): After days of worrying that the tension in your shoulders was never going away, you'll wake up this morning feeling like a brand-new person. And it just keeps getting better. By evening, whatever stress you're still feeling from recent events will be nothing more than a distant memory. Help the process along. Refuse to discuss anything more serious than where to go to dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You're prepared for romance and you're not alone! The lucky person who'll be spending at least part of the day with you can hardly wait. If you're not attached, that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the day and flirt madly. Who was it that said 'Love the one you're with?' If your sweetie isn't exactly next door, you can still be sweet to someone -- someone who may also be missing their own loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Ready to have 'em laughing in the aisles again and to rejuvenate your reputation as a party animal? Well, if you're not, someone else will be only too happy to do it for you -- someone who's seen you in action, entertaining the entire room with just one ridiculous facial expression. Oh, stop acting like it's an inconvenience. You know you want to come out and play. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There's really no time like the present to say what's on your mind. Tomorrow may be Valentine's Day, but you're in the mood today, so why not start early? Get the show on the road with some flowers or candy -other than what you'd already planned. Bet you're not the only one who's been thinking of starting the celebration early. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For once, the rest of the world just so happens to be on the same page as you are. Everyone you talk with is eager -- actually eager -- to hear what you have to say. That includes your political ideas, your unconventional solutions to world problems and your non-traditional thoughts about topics that aren't ever discussed around the dinner table. Nice, huh? Well, enjoy it. It won't last forever, but you'll get a taste of what heaven will be like. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Still not feeling quite ready to get out there and take on the world? Like getting dressed and going out just isn't worth the effort? Well, don't worry about it. You have one more day of that to go, and then you'll be ready for some serious fun -- as well as some serious romance, by the way. The good stuff starts early this evening, so be sure to get your work done at a decent hour. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You're not feeling anything less than confident now in your emotions, your actions, and most importantly, your words. So if you have something to get across to someone you care about, there's definitely no time like the present to go for it. Since Valentine's Day is just a few hours away, it certainly can't hurt to indulge yourself -and the one you love. Besides, when you get that charm going, who could possibly resist you? And why would they want to, anyway? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In just 24 hours, you'll be under constant supervision -loving, attentive, wonderful supervision, but supervision, nonetheless. If you're not too excited about it, why not take the night off? You can always insist you need time to prepare. No one needs to know you're perpetually ready for a romantic, sensual evening at your place. And wouldn't it be nicer to be together if you missed each other, just a touch? You know what they say about absence ... SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have thought you were ready for this -- and for tomorrow -- but there's something about energy of Valentine's Day that forces even the most freedom-oriented, privacy-loving people on the planet to ask silly questions like 'When can we be together alone?' and 'Are you really sure you love me?' With that in mind, you'll be oh, so much more understanding of your sweetheart, who probably needs some extra assurance right now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You're already feeling the urge to whisper sweet nothings into your beloved's ear, aren't you? And there's still a day to go before you can officially get away with it. Just in case, better come up with a Plan B -- for the sake of discretion, of course. Say, dinner at your place? Or theirs? If you're already together, by the way, it would be quite legal to whip out the Valentine's present at midnight! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You've put everything you possibly could into making this thing work, but relationships can certainly develop minds of their own once they get going. Basically, for the past few weeks, you've been taking one step forward and two steps back. If you're not quite ready to end it, don't worry. It doesn't matter whether it's a friendship, a romance or a business connection, this partnership will wait until all conditions are absolutely right. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): You're the very soul of frugality, responsibility and thrift. But at the moment, you have a bit of an itch. You have shopping fever -- in fact, you have it bad, and that ain't good. You want to bring along every single piece of plastic you have to the mall and run rampant. Well, why not? Thanks to your strict budget, you can afford a bit of a splurge for either you or your loved ones -- or possibly both.
