Happy birthday for Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2008:

If possible, avoid putting inordinate pressure on roommates and family this year. You might be more demanding than you realize, as different situations unfurl. A close friend or loved one might seem distant more often than not this year. This person could be evaluating his or her life on many different levels. Stay open if possible, but don't be demanding. If you are single, you might want to move quickly into a new relationship. Please take your time, for your sake. If you are attached, relating might be challenging, but both of you will grow and learn a lot as a result. Understand that people change. Taurus can weigh you down, like an anchor.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ••• Know and understand upcoming costs. Evaluate or ask for more information if need be. A project or a must appearance might toss you way out of whack. Investigate other ways around this issue, remembering that nothing is impossible.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ••••• You might start acting like a bull, close to unstoppable. If you can, stop and rethink a situation more carefully. Your imagination adds that finishing touch to anything you apply it to. Your nerves could be frayed.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••• If others want to dominate, make it your pleasure. No one knows better than you how much you love free time to allow your mind to wander.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••••• Zero in on what you want. Others might appear to have reversed their positions. Recognize that people grow and change. Stay open as opposed to judgmental, and you’ll get results. Confirm an appointment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• Take a stand. Others might be reactive, though you might not be as bothered by it as you might think. Know that responsibility and leadership can frequently isolate people, even you. Curb any wild spending.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••••• While others might be focused on handling the immediate issue, you will tend to pull back and see the big picture. As a result, you can gain remarkable insight and knowledge. Use this skill in relationships as well.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• Deal with people as if they are the most important people in the world. You cannot help but get results. Trust yourself, knowing what you want.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• The smart move is to let others have their head space and allow them to express what they feel. Ask questions and encourage conversations. You will understand much better why someone does this or that.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• You are likely to take a chance or approach a situation totally differently. Remain confident and direct in your dealings. Your main goal is to accomplish what you need, rather than push someone too hard.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• You find solutions while others try to calm down situations or return to the status quo. By allowing your creativity to emerge, your ideas will be laden with excitement and energy. Share this high energy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••• Whether you admit it or not, you often get entrenched in “stuck” thinking. Events encourage you to forge ahead in a new direction. Revise an opinion without making a public announcement. Time will reveal if you are right.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Add in diplomacy and you’ll find that others open up more. A friendship develops to a deeper level. A partner who frequently feels remote opens up once more. Confirm meetings. Don’t stand on ceremony over a hassle.
