Horoscope: February 18, 2016
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
Everybody longs for good fortune, including you. Now that it’s appeared, you’ve mixed feelings. That’s because taking advantage of these stunning ideas or offers would mean making far-reaching changes and, even more, relinquishing control over longstanding arrangements you consider central to your life. The decision is a challenging one.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Disagreeing with certain individuals is easy. They don’t take differences of opinion to heart and, because of that, you’re able to suggest a range of dramatic options. Others, in fact those you’re dealing with now, are far less flexible and will necessitate both careful thought and a cleverly devised strategy.
Gemini | May 20 – June 19
With the Sun, your ruler Mercury and now, the planet of pleasure and beauty, Venus, all accenting ways you could broaden your horizons, the focus becomes fun. While this could lead to a night out, it’s just as likely you’ll feel the urge to get away, and to go somewhere gorgeous and relaxing.
Cancer | June 20 – July 21
Unfriendly or, with family or those closest, unloving as it may seem, you really must not get involved in certain already complex matters. The individuals in question may come to you seeking advice but, in fact, these issues really aren’t yours to deal with. Politely but firmly back off.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
During the past month, your ruler the Sun has been accenting teamwork, and you’ve accomplished a great deal. But you’re also ready to focus on something new. This is coming. In fact, you’ll finally be in a position to tackle certain arrangements that are as irritating as they are unfair.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
There’s a fine line between having everything organised, which is obviously your preference, and dealing with things as best you can. While, with others this would suggest you’d best be prepared for numerous errors, in your case it means you probably won’t be able to double check every fact and detail.
Libra | September 22 – October 21
After a lengthy and, in some ways, informative period during which Mercury and your ruler Venus have been accenting domestic matters, they’ve both moved into your fellow air sign of Aquarius. This isn’t just more harmonious, the focus shifts to who and what lifts your spirits and brings you joy.
Scorpio | October 22 – November 20
No Scorpio makes a decision without first getting every single fact, then weighing up each option. As a result, last minute changes are rare. Yet now that’s exactly what you’ll have to do. This not only means reviewing what you already know, but gathering new insights as they surface.
Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20
As a Sagittarius and a fire sign, you find lengthy discussions about even crucial decisions painfully boring. You’d rather explore the options swiftly, then plunge in and let experience be your guide. While usually that works, this time serious investigation is justified. The cost for ill-judged decisions could be high.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 19
Yet again, those at home are saying they’re feeling neglected. And, to be honest, you’ve overdone it. However, you worry that if you take a break, things will go wrong. They could. But it’s not just about plans or projects, it’s about your priorities. Review them and the answer will be clear.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 18
The last thing you feel like doing is tackling tensions with loved ones. However, if you don’t talk things through, and with an eye to dealing with the issues in question, what seemed minor problems only recently could soon become serious dramas. Act swiftly and those discussions will be blissfully brief.
Pisces | February 19 – March 19
Few things are worse than suspecting somebody you’ve trusted is being dishonest. The real problem is you can’t ask them directly. This means being vigilant, both about their words and actions. Equally, think back to similar circumstances in the past. Give these some thought and they’ll prove unexpectedly informative.
