HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Just because it doesn’t make sense doesn’t mean it’s not the truth. The point is to keep an open mind.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Procrastination is tempting, but maybe it would be less so if you knew unequivocally that you could mend the situation within a few hours.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): The good news is that any resistance you are experiencing on the way to your goal is self-created. The bad news is the same. Cancer (June 22-July 22): The classy way is to show up with enthusiasm. Cynicism signals a choice of focus, nothing more, nothing less.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Oddly, it will be easier to win at big things than at little ones. Both are significant, though. You might find yourself changing your mind about what’s big and little, too -- a sign of maturity.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sign up to compete. Competition will be fun — not because you’ll win but because you’ll do your personal best.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Continue to be your usual supportive self. After you’ve let everyone contribute to the work at hand in his or her own way, you’ll get yours.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Many people could fill the same role, but you’re different. You’ll get the chance to show them just how different you are. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Being near another person has its own kind of electrical charge. You’ll be sensitive to the vibrations of people and places.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re pretty great at summing people up. Just leave room in your mind to be surprised. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be tempted to ink a

deal that binds you in ways that are hard to foresee right now. That’s why background checks were invented.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You enjoy people for who they are and not for what they can do for you. Of course, it’s interesting what they can do for you.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 3): You’re emotionally stronger and spiritually more generous. Proof: The responsibilities that used to be hard to fulfill will be suddenly as easy as eating cake. Unexpected money in March may seem like the perfect reason to splurge, but you’ll be better off saving for travel, as this will expand you in wonderful ways. Sagittarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 14, 30, 2 and 39.
