Horoscopes

For Saturday, Feb. 9:

This year, when you attempt to move a situation forward, you’ll experience a total backfire. Understand and question your expectations, as they could be a source of problems and prevent you from accepting loved ones and friends. If you are single, someone who is not what he or she says or seems could saunter into your life. If you are attached, schedule several romantic getaways together. Pisces could cost you money, without even meaning to.

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)

¢¢¢ Your efforts seem to get stalemated no matter how well thought out they are. Refuse to get upset. Go off and do something you enjoy to the max. Tonight: Only do what you must.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢ The best intentions could fall to the wayside. A friend or loved one might want to treat you to a very special happening. Don’t allow frustration to mount. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ Predictability is not a commodity that you will easily come by right now. Know that the only stability that exists is perpetual change. Be more forthright about your feelings with a loved one, especially if this person is a roommate. Tonight: Say yes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Listen to feedback. Use your imagination, perhaps to make logic of what does not make sense. Your creativity emerges when dealing with others. Tonight: Follow your instincts.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ Sometimes you don’t have the control you desire. You might be pressured beyond what you can tolerate. Tonight: Remember, there is a tomorrow.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ Others look to you, and indeed a friend might be gooey-eyed when thinking of or speaking to you. Use care, knowing what you want from this person. Tonight: Chat up a storm.
