Horoscope

Aries (March 21-April 19):

You’ll be reminded that everything in life is a trade-off. Nothing comes from nothing. Each result has origins. Assuming that you won’t be able to have it all, what will you trade for the result you want?

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Healthy habits help you find balance so you can do your best and be your best. But when you’re trying to establish those habits, improvement may feel very far away. A Pisces will help you have faith.

Gemini (May 21-June 21):

Today life is a maintenance project. To invite future good fortune, get the oil change, buy a new air filter for the home or give some flowers to your beloved.

Cancer (June 22-July 22):

You will be entranced by someone’s quirks today. Like Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” you’ll find that “intricate characters are the most amusing.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

It’s the recurring theme of the week: Patience is power. You want it now, but it’s going to happen later — and only if you commit to doing something each day toward the goal (and then keep that commitment).

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Today’s happening is something akin to going to a party and after a long while finally stumbling upon the most interesting person in the room, the unassuming one standing in the corner for most of the time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

Living life in the moment can lead to being joyous. However, you’ll often find this much easier when the moment is something you projected, planned and endeavored

to make happen.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):

The thing you forgot about will soon catch up with you. Therefore, don’t worry about racking your brain to remember everything you’re supposed to do. When it’s really important, it will show itself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Move forward. Go with enthusiasm. If it feels fake, keep acting it out until you can wear it more comfortably. Today the excellent attitude is required. If you don’t bring it, you might as well stay home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Friction polishes the gem. Even so, you’ve had enough friction lately. You’re ready to step back from it for a moment; you’re ready to temper these character-building trials with a little perspective and self-care.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

In order to be totally effective, you need more facts and you need more truth. In other words, don’t let lies and misinformation keep you from achieving all the success you desire.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

It’s too easy to pass the blame, and also it takes too long. It doesn’t matter that it’s not your fault. Soon after you take charge and fix it, miraculous good luck will befall you.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 20):

Your excitement builds through the next 10 weeks as you realize that you can absolutely be the person you want to be. The guides begin to show up at the end of March. You’ll need to invest when May comes around and again in August. Seemingly unrelated areas of life will support one another. Capricorn and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 7, 22, 48 and 33.
