Horoscopes

By Imhotep

Your burning desire to say something clouds your own good judgement, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. You need to get to the bottom of it because you cannot act. Rams are straightforward. Valentine should start to make a lot more sense to you later on, but it takes a while to sink in.

Where others see roadblocks, you find inspiration. Yet you are in a bit of a bind when it comes to your friends, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. Heightened emotions don't justify ugly words and mean actions. If you are mad with your beloved, spit it out. Don't hold back, and do speak your mind.

Valentine prompts a deeper look into February's strange unfolding, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. You might be too keyed up and full of spirited energy to refuse. The eyes that met yours with a blank stare might hold the key for you around Saint Valentine's Day.

Saint Valentine's Day presents a delicate balance, my dear Scales, as people born under the Cardinal Air sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. But eventually you need to tell someone exactly how you feel about him or her. Do not procrastinate. Duck some of your responsibilities. And, concentrate on affairs of the heart.

Saint Valentine's Day promises to be full of unanticipated surprises, dear Centaurs as people born under the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called. Travel plans can't be postponed. You are most likely to meet a Venus-ruled significant other. Move fast or you might miss the chance for true happiness and might live to regret it.

Deal with the challenges at hand sooner rather than later, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. Valentine is a good time to help out without being asked. Challenges will heat up again in mid-February. Beautiful days wait you. This Valentine is memorable so enjoy every moment of it.

It is easier during Valentine to bring up touchy subjects, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. At least one problem is all in your head so let it out this February. Keep a low profile around Saint Valentine's Day and remember to show that you are on the side of the downtrodden.

Skip Valentine specials, true love will transpire later. Ease into the background and blend in with the masses. There you will meet someone else who's attempting to do the same, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. When your eyes meet, you will know what it is really like to click with another fellow traveller.

February is full of enchanting paramours, dear Virgoans, as people born under the sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Your romantic dynamics hold the answers to your current predicaments. Valentine is pregnant with expectations. However, don't expect all of your aspirations to be fulfilled in one day.

Face it, you really don't want to go out on Saint Valentine's Day, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. However, you do not want to disappoint that very special person. Don't make excuses or say that you would rather stay at home, in bed. February is not the time to step into the limelight.

See where looking for romance in the wrong place will get you. The person you think is your soul mate might be no such thing, my dear Sea Goats as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. Consult the Stars and trust your instincts. Resolve to look at life and love with rosy spectacles. Love is in the air.

Forget about love and focus on your business acumen, my dear Dolphins, as people born under the Mutable Water sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. February is a perfect month for clinching deals. Seize the opportunity that the days ahead promise. Remember that you are the biggest fish in the freezing pond of February.
