Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013: This year you seem to inspire others on a deep level, especially close loved ones and friends. Your trademark will be to look squarely at life-and-death issues before coming to your own conclusions about a life philosophy. If single, you certainly are desirable. You will meet someone of the caliber you seek sometime after June 2013. If attached, your sweetie most likely will want to participate in your search for depth and meaning. If not, his or her adjustment to the new you could be a little rocky. Libra always is congenial. A baby born today has a sun in Pisces and a moon in Libra.
