Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday: for Monday, Feb. 12. This year you enter a very special period where you feel more appreciated than you have in many years. It would be wise to go over your long-term goals and revise them, if necessary. As we grow and change, sometimes our original goals no longer suit us. If you are single, you are likely to widen your circle of friends through a community or social commitment. In the period before your next birthday, you could meet someone of significance. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy going out and about together more often. Sometimes you could be uncomfortable left alone. CAPRICORN often plays the role of the cynic in your life. Aries (March 21-April 19):
★★★★ Meetings will prove to be fruitful. You’ll come up with plans that have an extremely practical aspect to them. Do not hesitate to adjust your schedule accordingly.
