HOROSCOPE

Aries ( March 21- April 19): Everyone needs attention. There are those around you who seem to need it more than others and for some reason that makes you less likely to give it to them.

Taurus ( April 20- May 20): The conversation you really need to have is between you and you.

Gemini ( May 21- June 21): The thing that makes a bell a bell is its sound. The thing that makes a pen a pen is that it can write. You are a far more complex being.

Cancer ( June 22- July 22): You’re friendly, which will serve you well now since you don’t know the ones you need to know to get the job done.

Leo ( July 23- Aug. 22): Maybe you didn’t mean to, but you tipped your cards, showing the fondness you feel for another through good- natured teasing.

Virgo ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22): If you want to laugh hard just assume that the rest of the world has the same ideas as you do about what’s appropriate to the situation.

Libra ( Sept. 23- Oct. 23): Stand your ground. You’ll be endowed with the trust of the group for being strong in who you are.

Scorpio ( Oct. 24- Nov. 21): You can lay all the groundwork perfectly and set yourself up with a fully functioning track to happiness. But still there are no guarantees.

Sagittarius ( Nov. 22Dec. 21): While seeking the very best that’s out there, you may just find there is nothing but the best to choose from.

Capricorn ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19): The idea that begins in brilliance will end there, too, as long as you know to get out when the brilliance is still happening.

Aquarius ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Your issue will become a non- issue in a matter of mo- ments. You have the answers and know how to apply them.

Pisces ( Feb. 19- March 20): You need more support. The person who is busy patting himself on the back isn’t going to have a hand free to applaud your achievement.

Today’s birthday ( Feb. 5): You’ll put yourself in a better position, and then start seeing things clearly. The next four weeks will bring many exercises in perspective. A single decision will lead to a completely new you by April. May brings money, applause and emotional support. July puts a vendetta to rest. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 39, 33, 1 and 40.
