For Friday, Feb. 1:

This year you have your share of admirers. You are capable of having a fun time with nearly anyone, but you really appreciate intellectual conversations and challenges. If you are single, you are likely to attract a more cultured type of personality. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from a special vacation together.

•••• Listen to everything that is going on behind the scenes. You might opt to ignore the obvious — for now, at least. Tonight: TGIF.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You could be very tired and withdrawn. You know what is necessary to do. Tonight: Your treat. Try to soften up a loved one.
