Horoscopes

For Saturday, Feb. 5, 2005: Know when to back off and not waste your energy. Take care of yourself first and don’t allow others to diffuse your energy or attention this year. If you focus and center, you will make powerful decisions. Accept your intuitive sense. Not every decision you make can be intellectual. Emphasize the unknown factors in your life, trying to break past self-imposed mental restrictions. If you are single, screen potential sweeties very carefully. You could easily hook up with someone who is emotionally unavailable. Slowly take your time getting to know the present apple of your eye. In a year, if you are still together, you can make more significant commitments. If you are attached, your relationship will thrive with more private time. Frequently schedule weekends away and romantic dinners at a favorite hideaway.
