Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb. 24, 2012: This year you demonstrate your skills with dealing with financial changes. If you feel fortunate, buy a lottery ticket. Remain in tune with your budget, even if someone is talking about a risk. If single, be careful, as your work could become far less of a priority if you meet that special person. If attached, learn not to play into a sweetie’s controlling ways. Be nonreactive. Aries might become very pushy. A baby born today has a sun in Pisces and a moon in Aries.
