TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

Aries (March 21-April 19): You won’t be able to put your finger on exactly what’s changed. You’re you, only happier. With a cursory look at the situation, it will be hard to say why. But closer examination just might reveal the culprit: love.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The joke suggests we are all equal, but some are more equal than others. While you don’t believe you’re superior or special, you’ll get so much validation from the outside world today that it will be challenging to remain humble.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Should you do it? Someone in the media is doing it. A friend is doing it, and it’s working great for that person. But is it right for you? The question is, is it affordable for you? This one is really only worthy of a small risk.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Revel in your amateur status in some regard today. Amateurs are not bound by the rules of taste or commerce that experts are held to. They can express more freely their unique take on the subject.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): When you listen to a band, you may be actually hearing five to 60 different instruments playing parts, but what you experience is a song. Don’t get too caught up in the elements today. None of them are all of you. You’re all of them.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll find yourself in a position to defend, confront or dance around an issue. Consider employing the enormously useful power of misdirection, as a distraction will do wonders for the situation.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): They’ll tell you they need it sooner, that you should move faster, that it’s not quite enough. Before you move to appease them, consider whether or not these are truly reasonable requests.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Language will be the difference.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 28):

Let your loved ones celebrate you. This will strengthen relationships and keep them from taking you for granted, too!
