Horoscopes

For Sunday, Feb. 17:

Those with birthdays today: You swing from one perspective to another. You will actively seek out others to hear their opinions. Others see your openness and, as a result, often confide in you. If single, a relationship will head in a new direction late in the year. Are you ready to settle down? If attached, you might add to your home or remodel. Don’t fight the inevitable. TAURUS serves as an anchor.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

HHHHYour friends inject new energy into present plans. Why not go along for the ride? You might consider an expenditure with care. A loved one or friend verbalizes more of what he or she thinks and expects. Tonight: Your treat.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Check with an older friend or relative before you decide what’s up for the afternoon. You might be putting yourself last on your list in order to please others. Be careful with a difference of opinion. You might not be able to win this one. Tonight: Play out what you want.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Use the morning hours to get together with friends for brunch. An afternoon movie relaxes you. Someone could surprise you with his or her ideas. Don’t postpone a conversation. You also might agree to disagree. Tonight: Take some personal time.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Touch base with older relatives or someone who might be extremely important to you. Work with someone to achieve a long-term goal. Not everything is as you think or feel. Tonight: Keep your eye on the long term.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Trudge on out the door this morning to meet a relative or friend halfway. You will be pleased you made this effort later. You might hear another story about a close person in your life. Take charge of your life later on. Tonight: Call a parent or relative.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Schedule time with a special friend who means a lot to you. Whether you’re laughing over a joke or sharing a sadness, the bond between you always remains. Suggest going for a drive into the country or somewhere where you can get away from it all! Tonight: Burn a new CD.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Others continue to seek you out. You might not be exactly sure as to what you want. Discuss a matter with a child or loved one who very well might be contentious. Tonight: With a special friend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Clear out a project that might be a bit unpleasant — you know, the one you have been putting off! You’ll feel great as a result. Join friends and/or family for a fun outing together. Laugh and play away. Tonight: Be easy, say “yes.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Make the most of the daylight hours when a child or a potential loved one delights you. Don’t think this is a one-way street — you do the same for this person. Slow down late afternoon. Tonight: Relax.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Take a hint from Scorpio’s message. Get a chore done that you have postponed numerous times. Once you clear out this “must do,” you can let go and pursue any frivolous or fun activity. Tonight: You can be so naughty, but so nice.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • You could be busy with your newspaper as the phone rings and someone knocks at your door. Popularity mounts as you visit with one person after another. You might have plans to go out, but actually you could happily hang at home. Tonight: Dote on a family member.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Laugh and others join in. You might see humor where others don’t. Join loved ones or friends for a meal and a fun activity, which could range from bingo to ice skating. Tonight: Let the good times roll.
