Aries: Today could be ideal for spending time with loved ones or close friends. If single, romantic desires might be tugging at you. However, this may not be a good time to start a new passionate escapade or to participate in community events.

Taurus: The ends don’t always justify the means. Avoid any temptation to act in any way you may later regret. Consider balancing your finances and avoiding new debts. Stay vigilant under any potential influences that may come your way.

Gemini: Your generosity of spirit may be highlighted whenever you are giving or receiving a heartfelt apology. It might be commendable to be big hearted, but don’t be swayed by appearances alone, you may be tempted to take more chances than necessary.

Cancer: A well thought out story might just suffice. You may feel ready to pursue a significant goal without revealing your strategy. Your skeptical nature could cast you as being risk adverse in various scenarios, which may be wise this weekend.

Leo: Your heart might be more generous than your wallet currently allows. You could need extra money in the budget to rescue an animal or assist someone in need. By contributing to a worthy cause, your dreams might just become your reality.

Virgo: Pinch yourself to confirm you’re not in a dream. Be flexible as your plans might be fragile bubbles, prone to popping without warning. Someone might misinterpret your intentions if offering a generous commitment or financial support.

Libra: Just because something shiny catches your eye doesn’t mean it’s worth your energy or offers a practical solution. What worked in the past might not solve the current challenges of today. You may expect too much from a casual acquaintance.

Scorpio: Stay grounded if you tend to be overly trusting or easily led astray. You might get involved with someone who isn’t quite as attractive as they appear. Be careful not to be more in love with the idea of love than with the person themselves.

Sagittarius: Hypocrisy might annoy you but consider resisting the urge to react. You may need to navigate complex social situations, even if you don’t enjoy them. Business and financial miscommunications are likely, so proceed forward with caution.

Capricorn: You may be naturally attuned to notice what others typically overlook; you might spend time thinking about smart ways to invest your skills and resources. This could be an inopportune moment to start a new venture of your own.

Aquarius: Building blocks help keep the focus on beginning at the base and constructing upwards. Hearing about a new opportunity doesn’t mean you should immediately commit to it. Be mindful of being hypocritical; make sure your actions align with your words.

Pisces: You may struggle to live up to your high ideals. If you gaze into the mirror and dislike the reflection, it’s illogical to fault the mirror. Witnessing challenges in the world might be frustrating, but you may help tackle it one step at a time.

If Feb. 15 is your birthday: During the upcoming weeks you may be motivated to make wise assessments about your tasks, finances and investments. In April you might be inspired and moved by someone or something interesting but be careful as your expectations may lead to disappointment. Unforeseen events, unpredictable situations, and surprises could upend your plans in late April and the first half of May. If the dust settles in the second half of May, consider if you are really ready to launch key projects, ask for favors, or improve your life, potentially on several levels.
