Daily Horoscope 02-20-2009

ARIES

March 21-April 19

A friend is likely to prove to be a pretty good friend today, because they're prepared to say it like it is. Someone's very balanced and calm advice will offer an easy route out of what could become a bit of a muddle. The problem with planning too far ahead is that it could cause avoidable complications!

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Today you will need to keep your feet on the ground. Lingering influences are likely to highlight one or two key areas in your life that are a source of ongoing dissatisfaction. The changes you need to make are within reach, but be honest in recognizing where those necessary changes are most apparent!

GEMINI

May 21-June 20

There will be some helpful influences in the first part of the day. Key areas that may benefit are likely to revolve around money and career matters. It could be you find a way to generate more income; alternatively, it could be that an ongoing obstruction is lifted or removed. Strike while the iron's hot!

CANCER

June 21-July 22

Matters of a more romantic nature are not likely to be uppermost in your thoughts today, but by the evening you may well be regretting an oversight. Minor blunders include: forgetting important dates/anniversaries and not thinking before you speak. Extra helpings of sensitivity may well be required!

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

Minor blips or glitches on the work or school front are likely to bring out your chillier side. Perhaps you'll feel obliged to present a cool and detached veneer, but don't take it too far. You don't have to be gushy, but little warmth or humor may well be the icebreaker you need!

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Receding influences nudge things along, today. A specific situation or even relationship that maybe has been under a little stress recently will start to show signs of life or improvement. What will really help is keeping demands to a minimum: today is not the day to start imposing conditions!

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

For a large part of the day you'll find that romance is bubbling along fine, until the evening, when it could become a source of minor irritation. Your partner, or even a date, may appear to be a little demanding to you, but the planets suggest that you may need a rethink over this particular perception!

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21

If you maintain a steady pace today, recognize from the start that you can't be in two places at once, and that you can't do everything, you'll have an easier day. No one else will be setting you unrealistically high targets or goals. Use the evening to chill, rather than battle on!

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

In what has been an up-down week, this day may well bring another minor slump. Cash matters aren't looking too healthy, but your problem-solving skills will be finely tuned, at least through the daytime. However, the evening may well see you undoing the day's hard work with a reckless comment or moment!

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

Happy coincidences will work in your favor, even if it doesn't quite feel like it at the time. If anything goes somewhat wrong, just remember that it's likely to turn out right, or at least turn out not to be such a drastic error or mistake. You can afford to take a calculated risk, as long as it is before the evening!

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

A sudden burst of common sense will provide the clarity you need: a tricky choice or decision can be simplified, if you look at it from an objective point of view. Be wise to people overreacting; they might make the situation appear far more dismal than it really is!

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

Minor revelations, insights, bright ideas and breakthroughs will set the tone of the day. Any complications at work or school should become simplified and easier to deal with, but only if you don't ignore them. In terms of romance, though, it's perhaps best to postpone any serious talks!
