For Monday, Feb. 16:

This year, be smart: Avoid getting caught up in the details with bosses or those in charge. You will need to shoulder more responsibility than in the past, and you will do it quite successfully. If you are single and you want to be with someone, you will. If you are attached, the two of you will be much happier if you socialize more. Sagittarius is a true friend.
