HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): If you didn’t sign up to be the hero, don’t worry, the real heroes never do. They get roped into doing the right thing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your workload will be intense today, but so will be your energy. The extent of determination will be tested.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You combine that bright intellect with the human touch to unbeatable effect.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Each person has a level of untidiness they are willing to accept. Woe to the people who go beyond that point today, as you’re in no mood to let it slide.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): This is one of those fastpaced days when you’ll feel that life is getting out of your control. Relax. It never was.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A different frame doesn’t change the picture per say, but it changes how we look at the picture.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll regret it if you let someone’s uncongenial attitude get under your skin.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You like to interact with those who are confident in their knowledge.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): There are questions that open new worlds. And there are also questions that open cans of worms.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s nothing you could say to make someone understand better than they do at this moment. It’s not your fault; it’s the nature of maturity. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your life has been full of surprises and serendipity, and it’s about to get even more interesting in that regard. The more people you know, the more likely you are to run into someone you know.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There are many who ask for good advice who won’t follow it. Maybe what they are looking for is not advice so much as validation, support and a general sense that they are not in this alone.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 24): It’s said that a smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, but there will be plenty of time for learning to handle life’s storms later. Enjoy the glassy sailing now. You’ll make money and feel the warmth of love. June’s challenges strengthen family bonds. September begins a thrilling educational process. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 18, 25, 37 and 1.
