HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): There’s usually a need that goes lurking beneath the request that’s being made.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): There may be tension between people of differing generations. The way to get around it is to tune in to what the other party finds relevant and to steer clear of topics that may be difficult for others to relate to.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): All of life is an experience. Don’t worry so much about whether you’re on the right path. Today, the point is just that you’re moving.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): There’s a venture in the back of your mind that is starting to push its way to the front. Toy around with the idea more seriously.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There’s nothing that influences you more today than the scary example someone

else sets forth. You don’t want it to be you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Being comfortable with yourself is insurance against loneliness.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Reading and writing — all well and good, but conversation is the very best mental exercise you can get today.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Take on the challenge of extrapolating nuggets of truth out of the stories you’ll hear today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Strike out on your own and the adventure will be noteworthy, though it will lack the conflict and compromise that inevitably makes for a better story.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The mind-body connection is getting stronger. Every time you decide on how you want to move and follow through with this, your body will become receptive.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It seems to you that someone always loves more, sacrifices greater and gets their way less often and that someone always is you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): People lie when they are afraid to tell the truth. You make it safe to say the truth.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 13): A shower of financial good luck starts things off. You’ll be able to feed your own goals and projects and still help a loved one out. Your powers of charm will be amplified the first three months of this solar return and you’ll have to be careful not to set up expectations you won’t want to fulfill. July brings a quest. Pisces and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 20, 28, 43 and 17.
