Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2004:

Those with birthdays today: You have the ability to understand others, perhaps more deeply than they understand themselves. Be smart in how you express that knowledge. Handle your funds with care and don’t take risks you cannot afford. If you are single, you will meet someone while traveling. If you are attached, schedule that dream trip this year. Scorpio pushes 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)

  • Whatever you do, you might need to do again later in the afternoon. What seemed clear and easy becomes a new story later on. Tap into your ingenuity and ask others for ideas. Tonight: With a special person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Slow down and understand what is happening within a clique. Think carefully about how important it is to feel like part of the group. Let others seek you out — they will. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Your playfulness takes you in a new direction. Are you ready to walk through a new door? Opportunity strikes where you least expect it. Break past preconceived thoughts and beliefs. Tonight: Relax at home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You are able to deal with someone on a different level. Your understanding breaks through, adding to a sense of bonding. Together you become quite a team. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Handle finances early in the day, because the pace picks up considerably in the afternoon. Others seek you out, needing your feedback. You actually could be surprised by someone’s reaction. Tonight: Hang out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • You feel empowered, coming up with solutions left and right. Later on in the day, you see life from another point of view. You could be bogged down by money issues. Tonight: Your treat.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Your energy builds all day long. In fact, by midafternoon, your magnetism, energy and intellect merge. Whatever you’re up to, you excel at. Focus on what is important to you as well. Tonight: Do what you want.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Aim for more of what you want. Take charge of your life, and work with the unexpected. Don’t walk away from chaos, rather walk toward it. Tonight: Get together with a friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
