Horoscopes

For Monday, Feb. 21, 2005.

Those with birthdays today: The nature of your work and/or commitments could change this year. Your instincts will be a guiding beacon. Be aware of your increased need to sparkle and be acknowledged. You could become a bit self-involved. Develop ways to defuse stress so that you can enjoy your personal life. If you are single, be careful — you could hook up with someone who cannot be there for you. By late October, this trend will change. Mr. or Ms. Right could be just around the corner. If you are attached, make plenty of special time for you and your sweetie. Be a duo more often. Sometimes Leo expects way too much from you.
