Horoscopes

For Monday, Feb. 9, 2004:

Those with birthdays today: Often, others disagree with you, and in quite strong terms. Learn to detach and become more of an observer in these hot scenes. Work could be a bit of a drag, or you just might not feel up to snuff this year. Follow good health habits. You will make money through others. If you are single, you could meet someone quite exotic, especially after the summer. If you are attached, make plans for that special trip. Libra understands you.

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)

  • If you’re not in the mood to work, make it OK, rather than getting angry. A brainstorming, solution-finding session will do more good than you can imagine. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. A comment could motivate you, especially if you don’t like what is said. Be direct in your dealings, and don’t get into a problem with a boss. Tonight: Work late.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You might feel pushed to perform. Though you might grumble at first, consider how invaluable you are. You might be overly tired of financial matters. Take charge. Tonight: Party.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Sit back and listen. Your fiery nature comes out, though later you could be sorry for words you said. Hold back rather than springing forth with ideas. Tonight: Happy at home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Think carefully before accepting a seemingly irresistible invitation. What are the implications of this? Sharp words are likely from someone in charge. Tonight: Don’t make it too late.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Deal with finances head-on. While you might have difficulty coming to an agreement with a child or loved one, you gain a deeper understanding. Avoid scattering left and right. Tonight: With friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Your well-meaning ways could trigger a boss. A little nurturing could go a long way toward making peace. Sometimes you need a timeout from others. Tonight: Whatever keeps the balance.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Step back, especially as everyone seems feisty and cantankerous. Visualize more of what you want from a child or loved one. Take your time with this matter. Tonight: Get some zzz’s.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Keep your focus, despite someone’s interference. A discussion can help ease the tension, but not eliminate it. Your fiery ways help others understand that you cannot be played with. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • All eyes turn to you, yet when you have a suggestion, you could be baffled by someone’s reaction. You might feel that you cannot win for losing. Avoid taking a risk. Tonight: Stay calm.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Read between the lines when a partner loses his or her temper. You need to deal with him or her. Avoid a similar reaction through self-discipline and detachment. Tonight: Stay in your head.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • You might want to discuss a problem, whereas another person could be on the warpath. Work with someone closely. You cannot force an issue to go your way. Tonight: Togetherness counts.
