Horoscopes

For Saturday, Feb. 21, 2004. Those with birthdays today: Sit back and make the most out of this exceptional year. Sometimes what comes as a jolt turns into great news. You might want to think through decisions, but sometimes there is little or no time. If you are single, you might be confused by all the interested suitors and not know which way to go. Just start dating! If you are attached, your sweetie becomes more expansive but even nicer.
