Horoscope

For Monday, Feb. 2, 2004:

Those with birthdays today: Work and health become dominant themes this year. You must take good care of yourself, especially since you push so hard that fatigue could easily occur. Your teeth and bones are also vulnerable. Be careful with investments, as you pull the wild card financially. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance late 2004. If you are attached, your relationship needs more openness. Cancer pitches in.
