HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, February 12, 2019:This year, you might feel that all is running well, then a wrench suddenly hits your plans. You might not realise that you often are conflicted about decisions and somehow express both sides. If single, you can date, but commit next year. If attached, you might say one thing but act in another manner. Look to TAURUS for help.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): An odd demand or desire to invest differently from the past now dominates. You see change occurring mainly because of another party’s stubbornness. You have been patient. You can choose to be patient a little longer. Tonight: Review your budget.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your good sense pays off with a friendship and possibly the realisation of a long-term goal. Your willingness to look at situations from all perspectives emphasises your abilities. Accept someone’s attitude, only if he or she can change it. This person might be envious. Tonight: Celebrate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might feel you can handle whatever comes up on an intellectual level. Your communication skills are strong. Your heart easily could head in a different direction, adding an element of confusion. Wait for your heart and mind to be on the same plane. Tonight: What works for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You know what a partner or loved one wants. You feel the importance of this person’s desires. You make his or her desire your priority. Be sure you can really defer to this extent without becoming resentful later. Be aware that the other party could change his or her mind, too. Tonight: Open up talks.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): You take the lead once more. You mix ingenuity with self-discipline. An associate who acts like a bully could be changing his or her perspective. Give this person space. This transformation might not be immediate. Take someone’s criticism with grace. Tonight: Choose a favourite stress buster.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): Make an effort to stretch your mind, not only to grasp where others are coming from, but also to find unique solutions and ideas. Your efforts please others. A new friend or a child could be manipulative. Think carefully before responding. Tonight: Making the most of the night.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): One-on-one relating could bring on a commitment that you might not have been looking for. You might not be ready for a domestic commitment. Try to be more careful with your romantic chatter. Clarify the issue this time. Tonight: With a favoUrite person.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): Others seek you out. Perhaps several just want to say hello, but the majority of people have an agenda. Listen carefully and be clear about whether you can go along with their wishes. Be flattered rather than aggravated. Tonight: To make a point, you might need to change your verbal style.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You can deal with only so much work and so many people at one time. You might be great at multitasking, but not to this extent! Evaluate a financial matter carefully. If need be, find someone with more expertise on the topic than you have. Tonight: Silence the ringer on your phone.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your creativity will save the day. You glide through an awkward moment as a result. You might be pursuing a serious topic and goal, yet you manage to stay light. Ask for feedback or brainstorm with someone in the know. Tonight: Add spice to the mixture.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You can be stubborn when dealing with familial or domestic issues. You have a set environment that you need and like. Understand that others might not be the same way. Hopefully, they are more “hang loose”. If not, find a midpoint. Tonight: Make it easy.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20):You will say what you think and probably toss diplomacy to the wind. Be careful with exaggerating, as you might be seeking a midpoint after making a dramatic statement. Look at your long-term goal here. Tonight: Negotiations?
