HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, February 5, 2019: This year you express unusual resilience and creativity. You could become involved in money schemes that are too good to be true, so be careful. If single, you see someone as you would like, not as he or she is. This distortion could cause disappointment should this person fall off his or her pedestal. If attached, you could be subject to the same distortion, though you have more experience with it. Work on being realistic about your sweetie. PISCES impacts you often with sob stories.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Meetings and discussions could produce enthusiasm and results. Someone close could surprise you with his or her activity and vision regarding a financial matter. Open up a discussion. Tonight: Take care of your needs first.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Others find you to be unusually verbal and direct. You are likely to tell it like it is. Do not get uptight when dealing with a high-strung person. Centre yourself, knowing what you need and expect from this interaction. Tonight: Head home first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While others might act, you decide to kick back and reassess an evolving situation. Communications demand attention. You could find it difficult to find quiet time for reflection until late in the day. Tonight: Don’t allow someone to push you too hard.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You nearly always excel when dealing with someone on a one-on-one level. Try not to charge a discussion with too much passion, as the other party might react to this intensity. Tonight: The unexpected encourages you to kick back.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): You know when you need to defer and let others run with the ball. You actually might enjoy being more passive and laidback than usual. You see what is happening in a different light than most people. Maintain your perspective. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): Focus on getting through some pending work. You will feel better and be able to judge what needs to be done in a different light. Schedule an important appointment. A loved one or associate decides to act. Tonight: Let someone else run with the ball.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): While others could be running around in circles, you have a clear vision of what needs to be done. You could become involved in a vociferous conversation with an associate. The end result will allow you to interact on this matter more closely. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): Your ability to judge a situation quickly emerges. You might disagree with someone about a domestic or real estate matter. You are able to bypass frivolous details and home in on the major issue. Do that today. Tonight: Change gears and relax with a special person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Remain responsive to inquiries and communications in general. A child or a new love interest might suddenly become demanding. Tap into your endless creativity for answers rather than get into a squabble. Tonight: Visit with a friend, but head home at a reasonable hour.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Money’s multifaceted involvement in your life continues to dominate. A potentially high-voltage discussion surrounds your home, real estate and/or domestic life. Finding a point of agreement could be difficult. Tonight: A long-overdue visit with a neighbour.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Your charisma still speaks for itself. Have an important discussion during the daylight hours. You could feel overwhelmed by all that might be happening. Pick up the phone and start clearing out a problem. Tonight: Make it easy; order in.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): Allow yourself to feel less than energetic during the day. This phase will pass. Don’t push yourself or get angry that you are not doing more. Many people go up and down like you. Head home early. Tonight: Take a much-needed nap, then decide.
