Happy birthday for Monday, Feb. 23, 2009:

This year is one of completion, thought and luck. You might be quieter, or you might hold more inside than usual. Use caution as to whom you confide in, as not everyone is your friend, even though they might appear to be. If you are single, you’ll want to carefully check out each person you would like to get involved with. Suitors often don’t reveal their true self. This is a year in which much will be questioned; learn to let go of what isn’t functioning any longer in your life. If you are attached, the two of you often disagree. Learn to agree to disagree and honor each other’s differences. Aquarius makes a good healer.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ••••• No one can curb your desire to express yourself. Sometimes you must express your dreams and march to a different drummer. Opportunity surrounds those willing to lasso it in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ••• Be aware that being a good leader means being a good listener. You will blaze a new path quickly in the near future. Listen to your options. Decide to take one of the opportunities that are offered.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) •••• Do needed research behind the scenes and be open to dynamic ideas, and perhaps indulge someone’s seemingly staid comments. It is by looking at the total picture that you will rise above a problem.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••••• A partner might whisper too much in your ear. Act on the moment. It could take the remainder of the day to sort through what are wishes, facts and possibilities. Look at all as options.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) •••• You could feel that you are giving away your power or that others are draining you. If you were counting on a quiet day alone, you can cancel those plans. Others need you and seek you out, but they also want to call the shots. Know that true power cannot be taken away.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• While others run around, once more you come through and focus on the job at hand or what must be done. Know that even if you are not always acknowledged for your steadiness, you certainly do make a difference.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• Listen to and sort through information. Ideas will pop if you are relaxed and centered. Start sharing and brainstorming. It is from this base that tremendous creativity is unleashed.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• Basics demand your attention. You could choose to feel efficient rather than weighed down by details. Remember that how you frame an event, relationship or problem determines your attitude. Unhappy? Reframe.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• We are often told that communication is pivotal. Once more you have an opportunity to demonstrate the power of language. Sharing a wonderful idea or feeling warms others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••• You combine practicality with wisdom. This duo can be and often is unbeatable. Use your innate gifts to sort through a money matter in order to see what won’t work or to understand a subtle deception.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• All eyes look to you and wonder what is going on. You have ideas, optimism and energy. Though clearly an intellectual sign, you embody a new dynamic energy. Use this opportunity well.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ••• Listen well, even if you don’t agree. Your final words or ideas might not have evolved fully yet, though certainly you do have a knee-jerk reaction. Sit on the reaction and go for the response.
