Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, February 17, 2004

Moon Alert

Caution: avoid shopping or making important decisions until 11:30 p.m. EST today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is one of those fuzzy days that's bad for shopping and important decisions. However, they can be fun days if you handle the delays and mild confusion that hovers in the background. Basically, you're a helium balloon floating through the air. Be creative.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is not a good day to trust your judgment about publishing, the media, legal matters or anything to do with higher education. Don't make travel plans. Don't buy plane tickets etc. Don't make important commitments or promises to bosses. If you must, then extend your deadline.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day for financial matters especially sharing something or deciding how something should be divided or committing to anything. Don't go into debt today. Don't advise others (especially your partner) about financial matters. Why not buy a new magazine?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

If you have important discussions with partners or close friends today, you might have to take a grain of salt with whatever goes down. (I advise you to do this even if you're on a salt free diet.) Promises that are made today are going to be tough to keep. Remember this.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Expect shortages and delays at work today. Allow extra time for everything. They're minor, hangnail annoyances -- nothing serious. Be patient with coworkers. (Then they owe you.) Plus you never know when you have to "collect" on the patience of others. (Oh yeah.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This can be a wonderfully creative day you. Just go with the flow. Don't try too hard to stick to your schedule or anything like that. Things are a bit loosey-goosey today. You can't be sure what's coming down the tube.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Make sure you don't buy things for home today (furniture, fabrics, dishes etc.) You'll simply have to return them; or you'll regret your purchase in some way. It's okay to go window-shopping i.e. fill your databank but don't spend your cash. When you know what you want, go back tomorrow and get it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Communications might be a bit confused today. ("I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see if I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me.") Expect that kind of thing all day. Just shrug it off. When the annals of history are written, this is no big deal.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Since financial matters are a strong focus for you now, be warned that this is a very poor day to make important expenditures and the like. You will not achieve your objective. If you buy something, hoping to use it happily; in all likelihood, you will hardly use it at all.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The best way to work today is to expect very little and refrain from being judgmental and intolerant of people. People will make a few mistakes. Items will be late. Or lost. Show your magnanimous spirit of understanding to others. They'll be so grateful. (Believe me.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a wonderfully creative day if you write, draw, paint -- whatever. However, it's not a good day for important decisions or buying things (other than food or minor items.) Whatever you set into motion today tends not to fulfill your expectations. But your imagination is hot!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a wonderful day to schmooze with friends and chat about practically anything. However, it's a dicey day for important decisions and commitments. You can get a lot done today, but you have to flex a little. Who flexes better than you?

If Your Birthday Is Today

Basketball player Michael Jordan (b. 1963) shares your birthday. You have originality because you're capable of thinking out-of-the-box. Your ingenuity combined with your imagination creates interesting worlds for you. Freedom is important to you. You love nature. You like your world to be ordered. Major changes will take place in your life this year.
