For Monday, Feb. 12

Those with birthdays today: If you want to accomplish a project or go for that special desire, the time is now. Lady Luck will ride on your shoulder. If events force you to say goodbye to people and situations, you are creating a space for something better. The key to making the appropriate choice will be knowing your values and who you are. Friends and networking will play a significant role. If you are single, do you want to be alone? Many Aquarians are happier that way. If you are attached, your sweetie could feel distant, and all your efforts to warm up a situation could be futile. Only he or she can turn his or her mood around. SAGITTARIUS likes to pal around with you.
