Happy birthday for Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007:

You have energy and ideas, though inevitably you'll hit an obstacle or two this year. The smart approach will be to let others have their way, as experience is the best teacher. The only control you can exercise is over yourself. Popularity and opportunity multiply with a laissez-faire attitude. With the right attitude, the world could be your oyster. Try not to scatter, keeping in mind your goals and long-term desires. If single, you might give up that status, as many will want to be your forever sweetie. If attached, your relationship will benefit from openness and a willingness to try or experience life from your sweetie's side. Leo can be demanding.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ““““ No matter which way you turn, you could feel a bit awkward. Though ingenuity certainly plays a role in your life, it might not take some of the difficult moments away.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ““ Stay close to home, if possible. Many people and happenings seem to tilt you off-center. You would be happier relaxing and perhaps cocooning. You don’t have to be available to all the people all of the time.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ““““ What you say might be right-on, but one would be hard-pressed to tell it by observing others’ responses. Ultimately, what you verbalize and do needs to reflect you and not others. Plans do change.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ““““ Dig into your imagination and deal with issues directly and with finesse. How you handle a money matter might be clear to you, but not to others. What becomes evident is that you cannot control others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ““““ You are all smiles but do have difficulty handling someone in a more direct and complete manner. You might want to try another approach or do something different. Others challenge your thinking and style. Stay secure.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ““ Know when to cut your losses and say “enough.” You could be tired and withdrawn because of what is going on. You might need some personal time. Don’t put yourself last all the time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ““““ You know what you want. Though you might want to zoom in and make it yours, this behavior could be a problem. Others are not as compliant as you might like. Sometimes their attitude or gestures say it all.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “““ Though others want you to be in the limelight and take charge, they might not make it easy. Ignore underground currents. Don’t be surprised by someone’s direct challenge. You can handle nearly anything.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “““ Taking an overview could be challenging. Others might be reactive and in a difficult mood. You could be out of sorts as well. Events and people don’t calm down, but only become more lively.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “““ Handle finances as directly as possible. You might want to gain a new perspective or do something a lot differently. Give yourself permission to flow and move with opportunities. Visualize and create with the help of a partner.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “““ You might be more challenging than you realize when dealing with the many people in your life. Know when to step back and make what you would like happen. Listen to what others say, but make your own choices.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ““ When your energy is off, you might be well advised to pull back and change directions. Your ability to realize more of what you want might be off. Just hang out or take a personal day. Avoid getting into new projects.
