Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb. 5, 2010: This year, you break past tradition when looking for new solutions. Don’t hesitate to take the lead and move forward. If single, you’ll meet people wherever you are, but you need to choose someone who works well with your energy and need for diversity. If attached, avoid disagreements by recognizing that you both can be right. Scorpio pushes you hard to achieve.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• You might not believe what is happening behind the scenes. Consider your options more carefully than in the past. What you hear and what occurs could be quite different.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••• Defer to others knowing full well what is happening behind the scenes. You have a feeling about a family member that you need to follow through on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••• What you need to do is mellow out and slow down. You don’t always have all the choices you want. Your ability to read between the lines can make a big difference.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Your creativity surges, and you could be most uncomfortable. Your fatigue with a family member or domestic matter could throw you into a tizzy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) •••• Deal with the moment and become anchored. You might decide it would be much better to let go of a need to control. Loosen up and work with a situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••• Curb a tendency to be possessive and a bit difficult. You understand far more than in previous periods. Realize what is expected of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Your personality seems to create tension but also melts barriers. You challenge others far more than you realize. Know when enough is enough.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••• Know when to pull back and change gears. Your ability to stay on top of your game emerges. You know what is necessary, but right now a low profile works just fine.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• You could worry beyond belief over a project. Don’t. You need to move past an immediate problem. Your abilities help others know that they can do it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• You must look forward, not backward. If you attempt to deal with a situation and head in a new direction, you might have to jump over a hurdle or two.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Listen to what others are saying. Don’t lock in on an idea. You might not have any enduring solutions, but you continue to look beyond the obvious.
