Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb. 15, 2013: This year your imagination and creativity flourish. Be careful not to overthink a possible financial bonus or change. Stay as grounded as possible when dealing with important life issues. If single, you could find that you become unusually possessive of someone you are dating. If attached, you might consider keeping separate checking accounts. You’ll discover that many battles over money can be eliminated as a result. Capricorn can be controlling. A baby born today has a sun in Aquarius and a moon in Aries if born before 2:08 a.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • Tension surrounds financial matters, especially those involving a long-term goal. What you desire is in the offing, so just relax and look for the best path.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • Reconsider your options regarding a child or loved one. Sometimes you can be a rather strict authority figure.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • Rethink a decision, especially as others seem to want to do their own thing. A long-desired goal that might have seemed difficult to realize could become a reality.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • You dance to someone’s tune. Those observing you wonder what you are responding to. When you detach, life looks different and you feel renewed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • You find the present activity level to be high and difficult to work with. Someone could be too direct for your taste; in fact, you might view him or her as being harsh.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • Tap into your ingenuity. Others could be delighted by a suggestion you make. Listen to what their responses are.
