For Friday, Feb. 2

Those with birthdays today: This year, study evolving situations in as many ways as possible. You will learn and grow as a result. You also might view financial investments and partnerships far differently. Some of you might actually sign up for a course or two to increase your savvy and handling of your investments. If you are single, a friendship is the key to opening the door to an important relationship. If you are attached, accept that both of you can be right but not on the same page. Respect differences. LEO often flutters around you.

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)

¢¢¢ Why are others so cranky? Could you possibly be contributing to this situation? You’ll find that there is an innate conflict with your choices and what you want. Tonight: Express your happiness.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢ Others might make demands that could be impossible to fulfill. Look at each request individually, and you might discover that some are possible. Tonight: Run home to your castle. Screen calls.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ You feel the push and pull from conflicting planetary energy. Rise above the immediate, and you might be surprised by what you see. Tonight: Swap news with a friend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢ You find that no matter which direction you go, you are forced to take a hard look at financial demands. You can only do and spend so much. Tonight: Practice saying the word “no.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ The Full Moon highlights you. The Lion feels empowered. Tap into your creativity. A close associate starts talking — finally. Tonight: Paint the town red.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢ Sometimes knowing when to head for the hills might be more important than hanging in there. Recognize when you are in a lose-lose situation, and pull back. Tonight: Not to be found!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ You might be able to convince others to relax. Pitch in and make someone’s problems less pronounced. You find that many people have very different ideas. Listen and accept. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢ Pressure builds to such a degree that you might feel as if you are in a pressure cooker. You have many thoughts and ideas. Express them in a manner in which others can hear. Tonight: In the limelight, whether you like it or not.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Though many around you could be off on a tangent or flipping over a situation, you are able to maintain an overview. As a result, you will flow through what could be a wild Full Moon. Tonight: Try something different.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ Others want to be clear and express their feelings. The truth is, you might have had enough of someone’s erratic behavior, especially financially. How you express these feelings might point in the direction this bond is heading. Tonight: A one-on-one talk.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ Others cannot help but challenge you. Perhaps you might be a bit too secure, and others see you as haughty. Go off and do something for yourself. Tonight: Let others do their thing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢ You have a way with words that makes logic and sense of perhaps the most complicated situations. Your ability to follow through could define your success or how a key authority figure views you. Tonight: Get some exercise.
