Happy birthday for Friday, Feb. 21, 2025: You are instinctively trusting and endearing to others. Sometimes you hide behind a tough outer shell. This year is full of exciting changes that will bring you increased personal freedom. Stay flexible and seek out new opportunities. Prepare for new friends and more travel.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Tread lightly in discussions about politics, religion and racial issues, because you might come on a bit heavy in the eyes of others. Your views might be critical, which could offend someone older or more traditional. It’s in your best interest right now to play things low-key and stay in the background. Tonight: Avoid controversy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Because you’re the financial wizard of the zodiac, you’re not casual about money. Actually, you like money. (And let us not forget mortgage-free land.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20): This is a tricky day. You’re high-viz. You might be talking to bosses, parents and VIPs. Nevertheless, your confidence about something is shaken, and it might be hard for you to separate your feelings from your logic. You might even feel overwhelmed. Take it easy. Tonight: Listen.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Conversations related to your job, travel, the law, publishing and medicine might be challenging today, because your feelings will hold sway over what you say. Things might look worse than they actually are. (Mark Twain said that most of the terrible things in his life never happened.) Tonight: Work.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Romantic arguments and disputes with kids might take place today, because your feelings are overriding your intellect. Plus, you’re worried about financial and practical support for something. An old Chinese proverb says even a hurricane only lasts for a day. Relax. Tonight: Socialize.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stay calm and cool with family discussions today, especially with partners and spouses. Your worries and fears might override the facts of the situation. We all do this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Work issues might be worrisome for you today. This will affect your conversations with others, which might turn negative.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Financial discussions might create worries and difficulties when dealing with your kids or a romantic partner. Set aside these negative issues today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with Mercury and Saturn. This means your emotions are running the show. Furthermore, it’s easy to take a bleak look on things, which makes life look tougher than it really is. This ain’t your style. You’re a winner because you have a positive attitude! Tonight: You’re in charge.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today the Moon is hiding in your chart, and it is challenged by two planets. This means you feel insecure, worried and too caught up in your emotions. Focus on other things. Entertain at home. This year you can improve your job or get a better job. Tonight: Solitude.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A discussion with a friend might be difficult today because your feelings will override your logic. Plus, you might paint things as worse than they really are. Remember that old saying: I cried because I had no shoes, then I met someone without feet. Tonight: Friendships.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This is a poor day to talk to bosses and authority figures. You will not make a great impression. You might sound whiny. This is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon. This year you will improve things at home and you will feel happier. Tonight: Show respect.
