HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): OK, it’s not ideal, and yet there’s something for you in this minor disaster — a quiet need being fulfilled inside the undesirable scenario.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Never do you feel more alive than when you are in the thrust of knowing what you do and doing what you know.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll need to move freely around a particular issue to make the most of it.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Travel opens the mind, but it’s not automatic. The mind has to be slightly ajar to begin with to let the foreign oxygen work its magic.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Ready yourself before you dare to wish, as it would be a shame to see your wish granted before you know what to do with it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

They really only get a small part of what you’re doing right now. Keep explaining. Keep showing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): So much thinking takes place in your mind that you share with no one. A private diary would provide as much sounding board as you need.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Chemistry tends to be a game changer. People will change their schedules and travel distances for great chemistry.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Whatever your disadvantage is, it is also your advantage, but only if you see, claim and use it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some people around you are like bad journalists, listening only for the soundbite. For this reason, silence is a good option today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While there’s not a single thing in the world that is inherently boring, you can’t be blamed for experiencing it

as such, as finding something new in the same old things takes a conscious effort.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If others are not hearing the breadth of what you have to express, it’s because there’s a filter in place, one that you likely have nothing to do with.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 22): Nothing you’ve done to educate yourself has been a waste. Your excellent efforts will be appreciated, but so will your nonchalant efforts because you’ve earned “cool points” on your way to becoming a more evolved person. Promises and/or contracts get signed in May. Enjoy a lifestyle upgrade in July. Leo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 2, 13, 33 and 38.
