HOROSCOPE

Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 Aries (March 21-April 19)

You have much to think about and consider. You might need to mellow out a bit. You will have an important and long-overdue discussion with a loved one or an associate. The less that is said to others, the better off you will be.

Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You seem ready to make a dream a reality. A partner or several other people might want to pitch in, especially if this idea could affect them too. An upbeat attitude will help you feel more connected to others than you have in the past.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Take news with a grain of salt. A boss might have a lot to say, and will talk openly if you seem interested in what he or she has to share. Use caution with your finances. A risk might not pay off in the way you’d hoped it would.

Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow’s work.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Events could put you more in touch with your dynamic energy. Look at the longterm implications when looking at the big picture. A situation might not evolve as you might wish it would. Do more listening and sharing.

Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might want to spend more time at home. Use your instincts to achieve a better sense of harmony with a loved one. Indulge in more time together. A change in your schedule could force changes to happen elsewhere in your life.

Tonight: Order in.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to examine what is happening in your immediate environment. Make calls, catch up on news and clear your desk. You will come up with a more efficient way of handling key matters. Others will come through for you.

Tonight: Spend time with a loved one.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Listen to what is being shared, but hold back for now on sharing what you know. A partner might do the unexpected. You could be upset, but you also do enjoy the excitement that this person brings to your life.

Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be in the middle of all the action. Take the lead, prioritize and delegate; otherwise, too many key details could be missed. You understand the implications of what is going on better than most people do.

Tonight: Think “weekend.” Make plans.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You move through details quickly, yet one could slip past you and ultimately sabo- tage your plans. Slow down or recheck your work. You also might need to consider getting a second person to work with you on this project. Maintain your sense of humor.

Tonight: Ever playful.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Call on your self-discipline. Use your sixth sense to tune in to the obvious dynamics of a particular matter. Someone could appear to be almost too generous. Pull back while you can, and see what is happening with this person.

Tonight: Get together with friends.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might feel as if you have an additional responsibility weighing you down. Stop and look at what is happening instead of continuing as you have been. Look at the big picture to see your options more clearly. Choose a more easygoing pace.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You see life very differently from how many of the people around you see it. As a result, others often are inspired and/or confused by you. At the moment, use your instincts to proceed with an important matter. You will land on your feet.

Tonight: Read between the lines.
