Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Things will not stay the way they are. They never have, and they never will. With this in mind, you’ll continue to look for the present opportunities, which are as unusual as they are rare. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In most things, the lows and highs will expand at the same time. In a related story, you’ll be reminded that the way to intelligent things is often found through silly things.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re edgy; the pressure is on. Embrace it. Some top performance coaches suggest that relaxation techniques only diminish your ability to connect. It’s more compelling to stay in the moment and use the energy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Over-planning leads to a boring outcome. But how do you know when you’ve planned too much? If your plans are prohibiting you from taking advantage of the pop-up opportunities of the moment, abandon them.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be at your absolute best in a safe environment where you’re not worried about being scored or judged. You can have that peace even if you are being judged, by the way. The trick is in not worrying about it.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 27): This solar return, you’ll step way out of the familiar and, upon returning, find new joy in the life you’ve built. Next month brings a favorable close to a long-running argument. Don’t work on improving relationships, as it will happen through play, travel and fun. July brings the chance to double down and win. Gemini and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 38, 11, 19 and 26.
