YOUR HOROSCOPE

-

BirthdayGu­y: Actor Nick Nolte was born in Omaha, Nebraska today in 1941. This birthday guy has earned Oscar nomination­s for his performanc­es in “Warrior,” “Affliction,” and “The Prince of Tides,” respective­ly. He’s also garnered an Emmy nomination for his work in the 1976 mini-series “Rich Man, Poor Man.” Nolte starred in the titular role of the comedy series “Graves” and he played Jack Reinhold on “Gracepoint.” Aries(March21-April19): Act in haste, repent in leisure. A tendency to jump headfirst into the pursuit of your ambitions could be counterpro­ductive. You must decide whether your timing is right or of your enthusiasm­s are warranted. Taurus(April20-May20): If you haven’t found yourself, it is probably because you were never lost. Don’t let anything or anyone undermine your confidence. Avoid wasting time on something that might turn out to be a wild goose chase. Gemini(May21-June20): You can find the perfect balance between compassion and profession­alism. You may draw the line on some behaviors, but no one will think you are harsh since you show sensitivit­y. Cancer(June21-July22): Bonds that withstand times of hardship are hard to break. Just because someone is riveted on achieving ambitions does not mean you are not held in high regard. Support a loved one’s efforts and share the rewards.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):Concentrat­e on getting the job done. Put romantic notions on the back burner while a major passion requires all your energy. Your ambitions are burning brightly and if you persevere, you will be able to reach your goal. Virgo(Aug.23-Sept.22): Your energies could be scattered if you get caught up in fantasies. A partner or loved one can offer the practical sounding board you need and add some common sense.

Libra(Sept.23-Oct.22): Use your brains to make the gains. You will make more money if you perform due diligence and investigat­e facts than you will by trying your luck at the poker table. Don’t rest on your laurels if you want to succeed.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can harness your imaginatio­n and nail down the details. This might be a good time to outline a story, investigat­e the commercial potential of a personal hobby, or to work out a more cohesive budget.

Sagittariu­s (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Friendship­s and family situations may experience ups and downs but are sure to change for the better by next week. It is not that anything is wrong, but that some issues require you to be especially tolerant. Capricorn(Dec.22-Jan.19): You may be intent on having your own way and controllin­g outcomes. Aim for what’s optimally possible given your unique gifts. Trying to outdo someone or making work a game might help you excel. Aquarius(Jan.20-Feb.18):Network through the night. Spend some time with friends and co-workers rather than pursuing amorous adventures. Spend time in public places, such as a bookstore, where you might meet an influentia­l contact. Pisces(Feb.19-March20): Your street smarts are good enough to get you into the big leagues. This could be a good time negotiate better pay or a better position. Your ability to explain your ambitions and present practical ideas is enhanced. ifFebruary­8isyourbir­thday: You might not do your best when dealing with business matters or financial situations during the next five to six weeks. It isn’t “all business,” however, as you are willing to let your imaginatio­n fly you away from the mundane in March. This could be a good time for a vacation or a romantic weekend getaway. You can lay the groundwork for long-term success in late May and early June, especially if you listen to advice from your supporters. This is an excellent time to put your most important plans and projects into motion. You will be luckier than usual and any opportunit­ies that come knocking could be worth pursuing. In July, you can go overboard with romance or escapism, but, if you face the facts, you can do very well.
