For Saturday, Feb. 24

Those with birthdays today: You are in a “happening” year, though the more you try to control events, the less control you will have. The only control you have is over your own feelings, thoughts and reactions. Learn to exercise that self-discipline. You will draw a different response. Give yourself the freedom to respond to your whims. If you are single, maintaining a relationship might be challenging, as you often change your mind. Understand that quality adds excitement. If you are attached, your home life will be a source of adjustment and change. Juggling life’s demands as a couple might be overwhelming. GEMINI can be a bit of a drag.

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)

¢¢¢ Speak your mind but don’t be surprised by how others react. If you detach and don’t react, you could gain a sudden insight into another person. Opportunities strike out of the blue. Tonight: Blow off steam.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ Expenses could set you back. You might know what you want but have difficulty finding the item at what you consider a reasonable price. A close loved one or friend isn’t as concerned as you. Tonight: Treat yourself to a night out on the town.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ With the Moon illuminating your sign, you feel on top of the world. Still, someone who has an impact on you could feel jeopardized. Don’t take his or her comments too personally. Tonight: Go for what you want.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢ Plans might change. Use the extra time to catch up on sleep or do something that you want to do. Others might be difficult. The possibility exists that you could be in a grumpy mood – yes, you. Tonight: Just for you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Keep your eye on your objectives rather than on the immediate. Though you might have fun, in the long run, you could be disappointed with the end result. Tonight: Where the party is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢ You might feel pulled in two different directions. Certainly, you have a lot of responsibilities and activities that you would prefer to do. Ask a loved one or family member to pitch in. Tonight: A must appearance.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ If you can take a day trip, do. You might be amazed at how different you’ll feel. Listen to feedback from someone who might be more objective. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Work with a friend or partner. How he or she looks at life might be a lot different from you. Together, you become a strong team. Use the positives that exist between you. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Others clearly run the show, but don’t even think that they could do it without you. In some way, because you are freed up, you have a great time being more spontaneous and happy. Tonight: Where the people are.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢ You might have a lot to do and a lot of ground to cover. You find others unpredictable and possibly difficult. Remain even, and focus on what needs to happen. Trust your sixth sense. Tonight: Relax.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your playfulness could cost you. A risk that you take today might not feel big but actually has ramifications. Friends surround you. Join in on some fun happening. Tonight: Count on being playful.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢ You have a way of shaking up a family member that he or she does not easily forget. Don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed; rather, know where you need to assume responsibility. You are master of your destiny. Tonight: Happy at home.
