HOROSCOPE
IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2021:
Strive for harmony, and you’ll gain peace of mind. How you interact with others and do your best to be part of the solution, not the problem, will help pave the way to a brighter future. Having patience will deflect problems.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Something someone shares will set the foundation for an idea that can help provide insight into something you want to pursue. Refuse to let what someone thinks discourage you from following your dream. 3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do whatever it takes to live up to your promises. It’s what you accomplish, not what you allude to, that will ultimately turn heads. Show passion in all that you aspire to, and rewards will follow. 3 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look, and you’ll find a way to get what you want. Taking a back seat to someone manipulatively trying to outdo you is not acceptable. You have plenty to offer, and it’s time to strut your stuff. 3 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Use your charm to get your way. A chance to show off what you have to offer will draw attention from someone who can give you the boost you need. Opportunity is within reach, but only if you can adapt to change. 3 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Settle into something that feels comfortable. It will ease stress and encourage you to follow a path that is more to your liking. Spending more time with someone who enhances your life is favored. 4 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Live in the moment, learn from the experience and pour your energy into something you find fulfilling. Taking a stroll down memory lane will be a good reminder of what you don’t want to pursue. 2 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re ready to take on the world. Let negativity go. Allow a positive attitude, new ideas and the desire to make a difference to someone or something you cherish take over. 5 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mixed emotions will get in the way of success. Decompartmentalize what you have to accomplish, and it will be easier to complete your responsibilities. One step at a time is all it takes. Start the ball rolling. 3 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The past will be your best reference when you want to move forward or start something new. Don’t rely on others when it’s the experience you have that will point you in the right direction. 3 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stay on course. Don’t deviate from your plans or let anyone push you in a direction you don’t want to go. Change begins with you; make decisions that will set you up for success. Live life your way. 4 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take your time. Listen carefully, and consider the effect your words will have on others. Getting along with others will be half the battle when you are trying to get things done. 2 stars
