HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, February 6, 2019:

This year, you enjoy gentler and more rewarding communication with close associates and loved ones. They did not change: You’ve changed. If single, you draw in many new people. Think before you jump into a relationship. If attached, the two of you seem much more closely bonded than in the recent past. PISCES shares welcome comments about how you interact with each other.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A conversation or interaction of some sort could delight you to no end. You like how you feel and decide not to share this interaction. Enjoy your mellow feelings while keeping a low-key attitude in other parts of your life. Tonight: Not to be found.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Zero in on a long-term wish. You might become involved in a lively discussion with a dear friend. Consider getting together for munchies instead of chatting on the phone. You might be on the verge of passing an important benchmark in your life. Tonight: Hang with friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Accept that you cannot always be centre stage, though you might be today and would prefer otherwise. You might not be up for taking the lead on a project and being closely observed. Smile to get past this moment with success. Tonight: Be a friend first.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make the effort to look at an evolving situation in terms of the big picture. Define what you want and do the same for anyone else involved. You’ll come up with great solutions and ideas. Tonight: A compliment adds to your glow and appeal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be willing to allow a partner or loved one to dominate. Your strong personality often prevents others from stepping up. You might be delighted by how the other party responds to an issue. Find a way of complimenting this person. Tonight: As you like.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): Others make it clear that they will take charge and make needed decisions. If you have vested interests, express them in a way the other party can hear. Do not try to bully this person into taking action. Tonight: Opt to be a duo. Start with dinner.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): Emphasise the job at hand and how to proceed. You could want to act, but a co-worker or friend moves in quickly. Be happy not to carry the weight of this issue. Spend time clearing out calls and e-mails. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): A creative and caring outlook toward a key person in your life activates interesting discussions. You might wonder how you got to the point of treating this person with kid gloves. Wonder less and just do it. Tonight: You might like someone’s way of saying “thank you”.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You might feel tense and not understand why. However, you express your positive feelings in an upbeat manner. Ask yourself how you express your negative feelings. A child or loved one delights you with his or her caring. Tonight: Head home early.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You come from a solid base and ask valid questions. How you state your questions could make all the difference in how they’re answered. Be gentle and unbiased. You could be surprised at what comes out. Tonight: Slow down and do what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You have been eyeing an item you have wanted for a long time. Decide you deserve it, and make the purchase. Your mood will change as a result. Once in a while, you need to say “thank you” to yourself, as you give 100 per cent in whatever you do. Tonight: Don’t shy away from a new friend or loved one.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): You have the ability to draw a key person toward you. Standing on ceremony or being awkward in his or her presence does not really work. More than most signs, you understand the importance of being authentic. Tonight: Buy a special item for a loved one on the way home.
