Daily Horoscope for Friday, February 18, 2005

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from midnight until 12:30 p.m. EST today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The good vibes from yesterday continue today. However, a subtle shift promotes entertaining at home and enjoying time spent with family. You might want to roll up in a fetal position and suck your thumb. (Don't let others see you do this.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a pleasant day for chatting to colleagues, siblings and neighbours. Gossip over the back fence kind of thing. (This actually went out with Norman Rockwell. Now we dish the dirt during coffee breaks.) Such is life. Good day for deals. (See All Signs above.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is an excellent day for business, commerce and all kinds of financial transactions. Make friends with your bank account. Shopping and financial deals are favoured; but do check with All Signs for timing. Make travel plans if you can. Publishing and the media look good.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon moves into your sign. This gives you a slight edge over everyone else. Lady Luck is smiling on you. However, it also makes you feel a bit more emotional than usual. (Not a big deal.) Someone might give you something. Family members will benefit you today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

There's been an upbeat optimism that has pervaded your life lately. (We like.) You have the energy to accomplish much at work. Actually, the secret to your success right now is your basic optimism and your positive outlook on life. (Don't you hate it when they send the long limousine?)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a good day for a heart-to-heart talk with a friend, preferably a female friend. Perhaps you need to confide in someone; perhaps someone needs to confide in you? Just buttonhole someone. "Are you going to come quietly or do I have to use ear plugs?" (The Goon Show.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because today's Moon is high in your chart (actually, at the very top) something will happen that calls attention to you. (Oops -- do up that zipper.) This is also good day to make a great impression on your boss or any VIP that crosses your path. Smile jauntily.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today's Moon is in Cancer, which is your fellow Water Sign. Nice fit. It prompts you to ponder profundity and plan your escape from all these responsibilities, bills and nagging tasks and duties! (Is there no justice?) Too much mix in your drink?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your cash flow scene is quite active now. You're working hard to spend it and to earn it. Since your focus now shifts to home, family and real estate matters -- check your bills and your debt scene. Just how much can you go overboard? Get the facts.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

With the Moon opposite your sign today, you might encounter a bit of tension between the demands of your personal life and the demands of the outer world. But there's lots of high energy out there. You have a chance to see whether or not you're in touch with your feelings.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It's the end of the week. People are planning social outings and little schmoozathons. Nevertheless, set aside some time to get organized. Look inside your purse, briefcase, gym bag - whatever - and throw away a little bits of paper and wrappers and junk you don't need.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Great day for you! Make plans for romance and flirtatious situations. See a movie or go to the theatre or enjoy the arts. Playful activities with children will also delight you today and tomorrow. This can be a fun weekend if you decide to enjoy yourself!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Matt Dillon (1964) shares your birthday. You have your own original style. Because of this, sometimes you're misunderstood. But eventually others respect you. You enjoy beauty in a classic way. You have strong convictions about a variety of things. In year ahead, wrap up things, and let go of possessions, jobs and people to create room for something new.
