Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): Ultimately, what inspires and motivates you the most isn’t other people — it’s you, taking action. So go. Go without direction. Go knowing you might spend your energy weirdly. Just go. The movement makes the way.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Objectivity is hard for you to achieve today, but you can trust other people to tell you their honest impressions and give you a sense of how things look from the outside.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Even though you know where you’re headed, there will be distractions that make you doubt you’ve chosen the right destination. You have. If you switch it up now, you’ll lose your place. Keep your eye on the same prize and keep going.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): An opportunity is coming, so get ready for it. Brush up on the rules, re-familiarize yourself with the systems, make sure you remember everyone’s name. And most importantly, know who is in your corner.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll think strong, happy thoughts and be stronger and happier in yourself. What’s more important than achieving your goal is understanding what your body, mind and soul really need to be at their best.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Happiness is setting expectations based on things you can control. You have standards for the way you want to behave and for your own performance. It will be exciting to be able to meet and exceed them today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The people you love will trigger all kinds of responses from you. The reason they do this so effectively is that they are the people you love. To care is to be open to the good, bad and everything in between.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It may feel as though your destiny is chiseled in stone. The stone itself once felt this exact same way before it was worn down to sand on a beach where names and words get written and erased with each lapping wave.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your imagination is ablaze with the fuel of recent inspiration. Your resources will increase as you ask for help. You might even create a scenario that will do the impossible: make everyone happy at once.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Go on and write the letter you will never send. It will dispel your anxiety in constructive ways. You’ll retain your emotional balance without upsetting the delicate political balance that animates every social situation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll get valuable information from someone who speaks with confidence and has plenty of pertinent knowledge to share. Don’t let that be the last of your research. The best nuggets will come from a quiet, thoughtful type.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll express yourself with clarity and charisma today, and you have the potential to influence people, too. To take advantage of your special power today, it helps to know what you want.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 26): This year is a party on the rooftop of life. Closer to heaven, your perspective lends a sense of power, confidence and unlimited headroom. Truly, you can shoot for the stars.

More highlights: dancing with wonderful partners, savvy change-ups on the domestic front and reasons for family to brag about you. Taurus and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 5, 23, 4 and 28.
