HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Much of what works won’t make sense today, and much of what makes sense won’t work.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): In the way that big moves require the packing and transfer of small boxes, big projects will have you working in a world of details.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): The more practical voices are pretty sure it’s dark inside of your body, as it should be, but you can get your energy going with exercise under the outside light.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You have a gift for discerning between what’s necessary and what’s not. This will be valuable to others who are struggling with focusing on the wrong things.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If you don’t allow yourself to feel successful until a certain metric has been met, that’s a choice and not a fact based on the rules of success.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As you entertain possibilities you’ll be joined by flashes of memory and ghost guides from the past.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ve lived many lives in this lifetime, and you will live many more. So what do you need to do to become your next version?

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There are amazing talents around you. Use them as inspiration instead of comparison.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Your picture of life won’t look anything like your neighbor’s because even though you connected the same dots, you didn’t do it in the same order.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Those who make a grab for the spotlight without delivering real value lose their audience and their credibility with you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Anyone exerting pressure on you to make the best choice (most likely you’re the guilty party here) simply doesn’t realize that there is no best choice.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s said that you can never be overeducated, and yet you wonder if you’d be better off not knowing some things.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 17): Love will have a daily impact on your life. You’ll make sacrifices for your people and your interests will get served, too. Being redirected will bring wonderful results in the spring, so respect obstacles and take detours. There’s a payout in May. What you spend to get business going will come back to you. Virgo and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 8, 44, 28 and 11.
