Happy birthday for Thursday, Feb. 5, 2009:

This year you’ll learn to deal with unpredictability well if you keep your eye on the big picture. Creativity fills in when you cannot find a solution. Many feel that you are ingenious in the way that you come up with solutions. Avoid high risks, even if you are lucky this year. Curb a sweet tooth. If you are single, you’ll meet people with ease. Don’t declare someone to be “it.” Date for at least a year. If a relationship doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. If you are attached, the two of you could become much closer with secluded getaways and nurturing. Never forget your goals. Cancer makes a great healer.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ••••• You might be filled with energy and vivaciousness. Others don’t know what hit you – or them, for that matter. The unexpected occurs when you least expect it. Communication might need deciphering.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ••• Expenses could startle you. Talk is cheap; dress as a cynic. Your creativity flourishes, especially when brainstorming with a friend or in a meeting. Feelings are intense and difficult. Detach and don’t worry.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••••• Your spunk is admirable; you are on top of your game. Consider different options more carefully. Listen to your instincts with a money matter. Take time to assess the liabilities. Ask for feedback from the experts.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••• Mosey along at a slow speed. Don’t judge yourself so harshly, and think positively. A partner could be testing your patience. New beginnings become possible.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• Aim high and know what you want. Investigate what is going on with others. A meeting lets them air out their opinions. How you see a situation could change once you gain understanding. Don’t let your need for order damage a blooming bond.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••• You might be pushing too hard and annoying an associate or someone in your daily life. You could wonder why you are behaving in this manner. Perhaps you are resentful of someone at work; it is coming off like this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• Take the high road in any situation. When you deal with others in this manner, their response is off. Listen to news with openness. The question remains: Do you want to cross this line? Only you know for sure.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• You might want to approach a situation involving a key associate differently. Though you might not be as sure of yourself as you might like, you will be able to approach what up till now has been protected emotionally by another person.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••••• You might want to take the lead, but find that others are faster, quicker or ahead of the game. Think in terms of a win-win. Carrying less responsibility might be nice.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• Dig into a project as if there is no tomorrow. In fact, this much drive is unlikely to appear again for a substantial amount of time. Recognize a gift by acting on it. You might have a lot to consider right now.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• Work? you ask. What is that? Whatever you choose to focus on becomes a major preoccupation. Enjoying the moment to this level is important to the quality of your life. Listen to others, and enjoy their differences.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Settle in and try to get a job or project completed. You just might need to close your door and screen your calls, then you’ll get a lot done – and quite quickly at that. Tame a self-indulgent streak, or else you could be sorry.
