Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012: This year you have the flexibility to adjust and the ability to come up with unusual yet excellent ideas. If single, you appear to attract many admirers. Having similar goals increases the odds for success. If attached, the two of you start acting like newlyweds. Plan a special trip or long-desired event. Your creativity surges. Plug it into your work, and other areas of your life as well. Gemini draws out the kid in you. A baby born today has a sun in Aquarius and a moon in Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Say what you will and do what you want, but be conscious of an aftermath or reaction. Some will smile and greet your thoughts positively.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Curb a need to have things your way. You suddenly could become rigid over a matter as simple as shopping. Loosen up; try other styles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Your smiling ways warm many people’s hearts. When you become too intellectual or are selling your logic, determined to be right, only then can there be a backfire.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • You might not think a project or concept is incomplete, but when new information floats through your door, you will be sure more thought is needed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Listening to others – and you have many “others” in your life – is quite a skill. Listen to what is being shared within a group of friends and how they foster their own ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • You could be very tired and drawn. You need to approach a situation with greater transparency. Others will like that they really know what you are doing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • You will see that not everyone understands what you are up to. At this point, you don’t need them to. Don’t feel the need to explain.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Be close to others, yet, as the saying goes, keep your enemies closer. A statement can strike you as off or askew. Conversations are vital and direct.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Others seem to know what they are doing. You most certainly will know nothing until the results come in. You see life in an invigorated, dynamic manner.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Focus on the task at hand. You easily could become distracted. Honor your sixth sense with an associate or acquaintance who punctuates your days.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Your sense of direction could make all the difference. You are able to make quite a difference by allowing your creativity to flow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • You have no choice but to deal with a domestic matter. For some of you, this issue revolves around real estate. Discussions become animated.
