Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday: for Tuesday, Feb. 9. This year you have a strong concept of what you want from life. Sometimes being too practical stops you from achieving your full potential. Remember what you want. What your heart wants could be your biggest liability. Financially, you will either come up with an incredibly good idea for making money or you will have a tendency to have money around you. If you are single, you already might have met someone who could be very special to you. Enjoy the connection the two of you have. If you are attached, you will have a ball with your sweetie during the next seven months. This period will be significant for both of you. PISCES helps you spend your money if you are not careful.
Aries (March 21-April 19): ★★★ You might need to slow down a bit and take some personal time for yourself. You seem to be acting like a firecracker with no fuse and endless pop. A demanding friend or loved one could be depleting your energy. Take a step back for now. Tonight: Be a couch potato.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): ★★★★★ Friends could make the day busy for you, which might force a reorganization of plans. Take a moment to reflect on what is very important to you. Schedule your day accordingly; you will be happy no matter what. Tonight: Follow through on a friend’s idea. See if it is possible.
Gemini (May 21- June 20): ★★★★ Others will be more impressed with your actions and decisions than they let on. You could be bombarded with questions, and might think that they don’t like what you’re doing, but they simply are wondering about the decisions that got you where you are. Tonight: In the limelight.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): ★★★★★ You might decide to combat your overactive imagination through detachment. You might think you’re calming your mind, but you still will be tapping into your intuition. Trust in it, if you can. Invite a friend over to catch up on some important news. Tonight: Dream on.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): ★★★★ Relate to a loved one directly. You might discover that this person seems to be distracted. Yes, this might be true, but he or she likely is thinking about you. Making plans according to your gut might not be valid. Tonight: What seems too good to be true probably is.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ★★★★ Others dominate in a way that might surprise you. Understand that you can’t compete with them for attention. Make that OK, and use this period for you. Catch up on a good book or relaxing to soothing music. You could be shocked by what happens as a result. Tonight: Be flirty
Libra (Sept. 23- Oct. 22): ★★★★ You might be inspired by someone else’s ideas. Test out the validity of these concepts on a couple of your friends first. These people have taught you how to respect different points of view. Often an infusion of new ideas benefits all parties involved. Tonight: Call it an early night.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ★★★★★ You might feel as if you are in your own little bubble right now. Some of you will funnel this energy into a creative project or a romantic moment. Take some time with a child or a loved one who seems to want and/or need your attention. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): ★★ ★ Generally, you’re a sign that loves adventure. Today, however, you might be content staying home. You have a lot of ground to cover, and you will be better off where no one from work can bother you. Return calls and emails later on. Tonight: Make it easier.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): ★★★★ You have a very strong imagination, and sometimes you use it without realizing it. You enjoy appearing extremely logical; therefore, you’re unlikely to share this well of ideas with others. What you sense about a loved one will be right-on. Tonight: Follow your sixth sense.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): ★★★ People often describe you as being quirky and independent. Today is no exception, as you pull apart a situation and look at it from various different perspectives. You could be surprised by what comes up as a result. Use this knowledge to make a decision. Tonight: Pick up the tab.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): ★★★★★ Whatever you feel today, you feel it 100percent. Sometimes your feelings become intense, especially if you don’t share them. Today a brand-new world seems to open up. An innate vitality encourages you to do what you normally would not. Tonight: At home.
