For Thursday, Feb. 22

Those with birthdays today: What you say and how you say it really count this year. Others listen and respond in appropriate ways. Lighten up, especially regarding neighbors and siblings. Driving, communicating and visiting will be very important to the quality of your year. Your sixth sense doesn’t always come through for you – careful. Logic is your ally, which can be difficult for the intuitive Pisces. If you are single, check out your sweetie with care before you decide to totally flip over him or her. Some details or characteristics could be hidden. If you are attached, have more dinners and times alone together. Make time for important chats. TAURUS draws out your personality.

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)

Out of the blue, a possessive streak could develop that might startle even you. You have insight regarding money and investments. Others might be wise to listen. Tonight: Don’t spend if you don’t need to.

You are on top of your game, but others might have a strong reaction or might not be able to give you the support you would like. You have strong, clear ideas that will get you where you want to be. Tonight: Just choose.

You have more to say than usual, but so do others. You could be overwhelmed by what you hear and see. Use your instincts with a touchy person. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You have an opportunity to zero in on what you want. Naturally, your perspective and ability to detach might make you even more successful. Don’t push yourself so hard. Tonight: Where the action is.

Sometimes you need to take the lead. The situation in particular right now encourages you to do just that. A partner or friend has a lot of opinions. You would do well to listen. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

If you walk away from a situation, you will see it far differently from the way you have in the past. Communication will open up as a result. You might be surprised by what you hear. Tonight: Relax your mind.

Others work with you on a one-on-one level. Relate intensely, absorbing others’ ideas. You don’t need to agree with them, but you can wrap your arms around their ideas. Brainstorm away. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Others have more control than you might be comfortable with. Take your time making a decision, especially if it involves a creative idea or a loved one. Tonight: Choose a movie or a relaxing activity.

You attract people like honey does a bear. Manifest your inner resources. You have a discussion that could go much further or deeper than you originally thought. Tonight: Act as if it’s the weekend.

You might be far more anchored than you have been in a while. Though you could make solid decisions, you might not like them when you return to the individualistic Aquarian. Tonight: Order in.

You will have a tendency to tell it like it is. Remember, when you do that, you are simply saying how you perceive the situation. You cannot be the ultimate word. Respect others’ opinions. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.
