for Saturday, Feb. 22. You have a strong sense of direction along with the drive and personality to achieve your goals. Do not allow others to distract you.

If attached, maintain your sense of humor and be willing to let go of your views. Seeing the positives in your sweetie’s perspective will deepen your bond. AQUARIUS knows how to tease you and draw a smile.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

★★★★ Getting you to slow down might not be easily accomplished. You alone can decide when enough is enough. Friends and loved ones surround you, and clearly a loved one wants extra time with you. Make it so. Tonight: A secret is suddenly revealed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

★★★★ Be more helpful than you have been to an older person or someone who demands your respect. You know you cannot shirk your responsibilities, nor should you. Include this person more often in your plans. Tonight: A spontaneous happening erupts.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★★★ Look at the big picture, yet remain sensitive to your needs. A friend sees and understands the quandary you might find yourself in. Do not hesitate to pursue a desire. Tonight: Your sense of humor adds to the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

★★★★ One-on-one relating continues to be most satisfying; you might choose to relate to several people this way. For each person, you will discover a lot that you have not recognized before. Tonight: A friend surprises you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

★★★★ Defer to a loved one or dear friend. He or she might have a better sense of what would work for both of you today. You might yearn for more adventure. This friend’s eccentricity comes out in his or her choices. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

★★★ Being appropriate might suit you, but look at the results you draw in because of this quality. Sometimes, choosing to be a bit more outrageous adds to your enjoyment as well as the possibilities. Tonight: You do not need to go until the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

★★★★★ Defer to a loved one or a child. This person’s needs might be quite strong, which will become apparent to you. Your sense of humor helps lighten up what could be a heavy moment. You have the gift of perspective. Tonight: Let out the wild thing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

You might need some quiet time at home. Tonight: Make your pad the center of the action.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

★★★★★ Say whatever you want. Do not make unusual demands from a friend, relative or neighbor. Take a step back and watch what comes down the path. You might be delighted. You do not always need to be so proactive. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

★★ Balance your budget before making any commitment. When you are relaxed about money, all seems to fall into place. Your traditional approach works for you, but not someone else. Accept differences. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

★★★★★ No matter which way you go, no matter what your choice might be, it appears you can do no wrong. Your charisma makes up for a difficult or uncertain moment. Your sense of direction remains critical. Tonight: Dance the night away.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

★★★ Your feelings might seem out of control. For the moment, do nothing and say little. Your perspective could totally change when given some space. Remember, your whole life is not today. Let this mood go. Tonight: Whatever pleases you.
