Happy birthday. You don’t expect much from 2014, and this is good. Expectations have been known to lead to suffering. February’s surprises will delight.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Gaining control over response to events is no small victory. Today it will be the only victory that matters.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sometimes talking is acting. Other times, talking is doing nothing. Know the difference and you’ll be as productive as you want to be.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Life’s music moves you. Metaphorically, dancing is a passion, and this choromania will make you popular on the flashing floor of life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): People are making value assessments. It will be easier to put your best foot forward when said foot is wearing a good shoe.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ferrets kill vermin, yet the pet/rodent extermination role has gone prevailingly to cats. You have the feline attitude that will have people choosing you over other options.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It goes best when you show up when and where you promised. Avoid changing plans. People relax when they know what to expect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You need support to face challenges, and overly mercurial or dramatic people won’t focus on you the way you need now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Just when you don’t have the resources to solve a problem, opportunities show up. This is not chance timing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You enjoy anticipation and have much to look forward to. Today it’s all about that one thing that makes you smile.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Think of today’s main event as an exercise. Whether things work out the way you want isn’t the point.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You look forward to events as long as you feel prepared. So take the time to plan.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): True to the empathetic talents of Pisces, your emotions will be level and consistent with those around you. You’re not afraid to lead; you just don’t want to.
