HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): You express yourself without worrying whether others approve of or agrees with you. Continue in this manner the entire day and you’ll have a handful of new fans.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You have many potential futures, and whichever you choose, destiny will have a hand in it, too. Just pick one and enjoy your choice.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You love a good challenge. Turn things into a game and invite people to play. If you happen to benefit from their efforts, it’s a double win.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Saying yes when you want to say no doesn’t have to cause resentment. Chalk it up to experience and heart.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve been wronged. Holding onto this won’t diminish the other person’s life in any way. But it will wreak havoc on your own. Let it go.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Structure is proof of a higher thought process. What you need is a plan — better yet, a system you can follow that works every time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Steer conversations toward things of true interest and add a dash more honesty than is comfortable.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You are right to suspect anyone working too hard for your approval or trust. You have nothing to hide and only good intentions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Jellyfish don’t have brains; their neural networks have kept them going for 500 million years. You’ll execute much brilliance today without thinking.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Maybe you believe you must succeed — that’s motivating. Keep an open mind on what success looks like; it has a habit of changing costumes for the second act.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Things change moment to moment. You can keep your commitments without being trapped by them.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This is how it’s always been — strife out there, complications in here, varying degrees of turmoil in the middle. Acknowledging that this is normal will help you make good decisions calmly.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 24): Gaining skills will be an adventure and a source of pride. You’ll adopt new ways of running your life, some based on technology, others on a fresh understanding of your talents and priorities. You’ll be supported by a fun group, lifted by excellence, and, in turn, you’ll inspire others. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 3, 33, 27.
