HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Not only is it natural to feel defensive around people who have a history of socking you when you’re not expecting it; it’s advisable.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): While some seem committed to talking things to death, you jump in and resolve the problem.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll learn more from people who are dissimilar to you than from people with whom you have a great deal in common. Cancer (June 22-July 22): When things get a little more colorful and dramatic than is comfortable, be grateful for it. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Discipline is just not something you easily come up with on your own right now. Enlist the help of a coach or a supportive friend.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Think about what you’re all about. Because if you’re not sure about it, someone will come along and try to fill in the blanks for you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): A small personal accomplishment drives you to work deliberately and connect warmly with others today.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Don’t be surprised if, when you sit down to make a positive plan of action, negativity comes first. Once you give it airtime, it will go away.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): If someone’s love of fun is stronger than their love of doing the job at hand, trust your instincts and get the right person for the job.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are so many ways to turn life into a beautiful experience. That’s what you’ll chase today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It takes an effort to mix things up, and you’ll probably meet with resistance

from those more fearful than you. Do it anyway. Everyone will be better for it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s a day to read and learn. And get current on social news, which will be as exciting to read up on as any fiction.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 21): A few stellar choices will carry you up this year. Happiness is having a pure strong love in your life. You’ll put quite a lot of effort into establishing a habit over the next 10 weeks. After that, living the way you prefer will be nearly automatic. There’s intense competition in March and September; get serious. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 5, 33 and 16.
