Horoscopes

For Friday, Feb. 25

Those with birthdays today: You transform rapidly this year, easily letting go of what no longer works in your life. Good for you! Others could be reactive as you start to bloom right in front of them. Your changes will force others to grow. Professional and public commitments reflect the new you. You would be wise to let others run with the ball to let them see what happens. Nothing works like experience. If you are single, your relationship potential is high. Let possibilities flourish; let your sweetie have as much space as he or she needs. If you are attached, let your significant other have more say in plans. Share the different areas of responsibility. LIBRA reads you cold.

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 have the opportunity to make this a half-day, do. Give yourself permission to start your weekend early. You have pushed hard and have dealt with a lot this week. Tonight: Where people are — just don’t be alone.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • You might be disappointed by a loved one or friend’s reaction. Learn to accept his or her personality. A financial or emotional commitment isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Tonight: Schedule some exercise.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Another person could toss your plans into chaos. Your ability to see humor in your mistakes might be one of your greatest strengths. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You might be clear about your intentions, but someone else has a problem understanding your directions or message. Clear up as much as you can with explanations. Confirm meetings. Tonight: Anchor in.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • You pull the wild card financially and might be regrouping the rest of the day. Though your gamble might pay off, don’t make this a habit. Ultimately you will be happier. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Use the morning to get your ducks in a row. Others’ influence might prove to be very exciting. Someone might want to help you but could ultimately rain on your parade. Tonight: Treat a loved one.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Take care of any details or problems in the a.m. By the afternoon, you are tossed into networking and responding to others. Public appearances will fare well if you cope with a momentary hassle. Tonight: Beam in the weekend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Stay directed in the morning despite another’s attempt to distract you. Dealing with a financial or security matter takes up your afternoon. You need to use caution. Tonight: Plan on a quiet night.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • The pressure from work could be tough. Listening to others doesn’t mean you are in agreement with their ideas. In fact, a meeting might change your mind. Tonight: Off to a movie, dinner or maybe a ballgame.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Your ability to see the big picture might prevent a huge problem, not only for you but also for others. Read into the gossip. Listen but don’t necessarily believe everything you hear. Tonight: Leader of the gang.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Review a partnership with cynicism and creativity. You pull the wild card with funds. But don’t think you have a money tree growing in your back yard. Tonight: If you can, leave town.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • Others run with the ball. You have a strong reaction, which in turn could trigger other reactions. Know that the only person you can control is you. Learn to say “no” to additional responsibility. Tonight: Out with a favorite person.
