The continued precession of the sun through Aquarius puts a sparkle in our eye and hope in our hearts. Past dreams may change but life remains infinitely possible. As the water bearer fills her jug with clear water, she winks. Knowledge is the elixir we seek, informing our spiritual insights and prophetic glimpses of the future.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some friendships are life-long; others are a few hours of kinship. You let relationships develop naturally toward whatever form they want to take. Tonight start a positive Karmic cycle, and it will continue rolling.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Important meetings come to those who are well informed. Join the “now” crowd. Read everything you can get your hands on. Move and shake with the movers and shakers.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s not quite time to lay down the law in a relationship, ask for a raise or put down payment on a new property. But the research you do will help you immensely when it is that time – and you won’t have long to wait!
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be careful when you say “X would never happen…” This is the kind of day when all the “nevers” come to roost. Singles find love by being content and letting it come to them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A bout of sell-doubt isn’t pleasant by any stretch, but it is a good sign. Only a fool or a fanatic is sure of himself all of the time. Your insecurities prove that you are wise. That said, to overcome them is wiser still.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb 18). Business and pleasure are found in the same activities this year. You’re drawn to an ideal social arena in March, where there will be a perfect balance of creative people to inspire you and cynical people to deter you from a bad idea. June brings a windfall due to you working your connections. Romance leads to July travel. Virgo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 1, 32, 19 and 35.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A reasonable reaction to what happens today might be comforting to those around you, but if you can’t be reasonable, don’t worry. A bit of madness will be refreshingly interesting.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your upbeat style will get you hired or will make shut doors swing open for you. Trivial matters and useless knowledge are the delights of this evening. See, no idea is small when your mind is big.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Relationships are tricky now, and you feel like it’s time you made important decisions. Should you cross the bridge or burn it? Likely, the best answer is neither. Take a boat underneath it while you think it over.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Do you feel magnetic? Your AQ is strong now – that’s your “attraction quotient. You can use your influence to finagle a date with that hard-to-reach someone or close a business deal.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your support network is even more supportive than usual. Through them, you have the resources needed to bring your fantasy down from the sky and onto paper.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You wouldn’t hang a picture in bad light, and you treat your friendships with the same reverence. By seeing the good in others, you bring out the very best in even morally challenged individuals.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Remember that life is cyclical. There’s a time to strive for self-improvement and a time to accept yourself, faults and all. You can actually foil yourself up by trying to fix yourself.
