Today’s birthday (2/18/10). You dig deep into your bag of tricks this year and pull out some re-
markably practical things. You know how to use your tools for more than they were designed for, so
you can solve a problem with whatever you have on hand (or you know where to go for whatever you
don’t have). Smart!
To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Both genders work together to get romance on track. This
could be in the form of a play or some other dramatic presentation. Take extra care of your voice.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Love enters the picture and takes over your imagination.
Use your talents to motivate your partner. Dare to dream sweeter dreams.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Create the mood you want. Show that you’re passionate
about your idea and want to see it through. A brief prayer or meditation couldn’t hurt.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 6 -- A female provides a ton of ideas that all seem to elevate
your mood. As you feel more capable, you achieve personal growth overnight. It all sinks in later.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Both genders work well together today. All you have to do is
allow them to choose the game, modify the rules and grab the appropriate prize.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Teamwork allows all parties to throw ideas into the ring.
Today’s project can use more than one set of eyes. By day’s end you all agree on the conclusion.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Your private thoughts don’t mesh with those of your co-
workers. As long as the issues aren’t critical, this won’t matter. Differences of opinion sort themselves
out.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Your sense of what really matters changes today. Your
independent attitude shifts toward a more sympathetic appreciation for family and associates.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- You feel like you’ve been there before. Creative ideas
flow easily and inspire you to greater heights. Persuade yourself to let go of limitations.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- The thing about love is that it grows faster when you
lavish it. No need to limit the extent of your appreciations, but you need to speak them out loud.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- Speak about independent thinking today with co-work-
ers. Encourage others to participate while sharing your ideas for a dynamic new sales pitch or marketing
idea.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Take your time today with ideas that need quiet. No
one expects you to express enthusiasm all the time. As the sun enters your sign, you want to retreat and
regenerate.
