For Thursday, Feb. 5:

This year, the unexpected rides in from out of left field. You’ll learn to deal with unpredictability well if you keep your eye on the big picture. Creativity fills in when you cannot find a solution. If you are single, you’ll meet people with ease. If you are attached, the two of you could become much closer with secluded getaways and nurturing. Cancer makes a great healer.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Settle in and try to get a job or project completed. You just might need to close your door and screen your calls, then you’ll get a lot done — and quite quickly at that. Tonight: Nap and then decide.
