For Wednesday, Feb. 22

Those with birthdays today: How you handle others often could be subject to revision, as you will need to break away from black-and-white rules. You will learn how very different every person’s needs and desires are. Keep smiling, and you’ll come out on top. Listen to feedback from other sources, and you will develop and grow. Your public image and professional commitments will be spotlighted this year. If you are single, a trip might open the door to your social and romantic life. Go for adventure this year. If you are attached, your sweetie needs to be drawn more into your public and professional commitments. SAGITTARIUS pushes you to the max.

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)

Take the high road. Seek out facts and information. Misunderstandings occur out of the blue. Refuse to take anything personally. Know when to put a halt to messy situations. Tonight: Choose a mental escape.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your support systems touch you on a deep level, encouraging greater involvement in your work and community. Nevertheless, you could misunderstand someone. Tonight: Togetherness.

Easy does it. You like what is going on because of your ability to relate on a deeper level. Listen well to someone who cares about you. Encourage new ideas by changing your setting. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Listen to what a child or loved one presents, even though you don’t want to hear every detail. Perhaps you see others very differently than they are. Is it time to revise your thinking? Tonight: Spring for a fun evening.

You might be like, as one might say, a cat chasing its tail. You have what it takes and will do whatever you need to do to get there, but perhaps today is not the best day to pursue this course. Tonight: Happy as can be.

You say what you want and do what you need to do, though the support you might like will not be there. Listen well, and you’ll come up with new ideas and suggestions. Tonight: Hang out with a pal.

Your ability to jump through hoops could come into play right now. You could easily run into a problem because others simply aren’t getting it. Stay centered, knowing what your priorities are. Tonight: Pay bills.

You’re thick into your “stuff,” knowing what it is you want to do. You could get flak from a family member. Though you certainly are on a roll, you need to be sensitive to where there might be some disruption. Tonight: Smile away.

You zero in on what you want. Finding the right answers happens through confusion, brainstorming and listening to other opinions. Though every detail might not be precise, you do have a game plan. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Take a step toward what you want. Listen well to what is going on with a boss or parent. You could easily misconstrue others’ words. Be a better listener. You have your own mental filter turned on. Tonight: Work late.
