HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): It’s likely you will find the connection you were looking for, except not in the package you were expecting.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Recent science has proved that most people have their highest mental productivity during the second and third hours they’ve been awake. You’ll make this work for you.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Confidence is about how comfortable you are. Creating comfort starts with deeming the circumstance (or yourself) acceptable.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ve assembled an eclectic and creative collection of fascinations. Why not fall in love with the way your mind works? Others have.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Resist the urge to try too hard or to do too much. Let someone else handle the practicalities. You’ll bring the color and spice.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Ask vaguely and you’ll learn something unexpected — something you might not want to know but that has great value nonetheless.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Most people are poor predictors of what will make them happy. They assume it will be the usual things, but it’s going to be something much more specific.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There are always those who will get upset when the interface of their favorite social network changes. Don’t let them stop you from developing yourself. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): When you’re not sure whether the other person is on your side, there’s probably a pretty good reason for that feeling. Trust it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Where exactly are they keeping the “happy” these days? It’s not where you used to find it, but it’s still out there. Knock on new doors. Ask different people.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): They have their little flaws and weirdnesses, and you notice — boy, do you notice. But you’re fine with it. Really you are!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Your mastery of a skill will bring opportunities you have no idea about right now. Just trust that you want to master it, and then put your head down and practice until you’ve got it.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 5): When you go inside yourself, you find incredible satisfaction and peace. You’re a magnet for favorable circumstances, especially when you travel. Capricorn and Virgo adore you. Lucky numbers: 3, 14, 9, 5, and 40.
