Daily Horoscope for Friday, February 24, 2006

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today until 7:45 p.m. EST. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's Friday and time for a reality check. (Always a good thing before Happy Hour.) This year your mission, should you choose to accept it (and you have no choice) is to learn more about yourself and how you can best express your creative talents. Teach yourself how to do what you love.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This year your primary focus is on your personal, domestic life. Reorganize your home and your private life. Quit "putting up with" stuff. Quit "putting off" stuff. Whatever you don't clear up now, will come back to bite you in the ass in the future.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your immediate environment (that which you experience on a day-to-day basis) is going to undergo an overhaul in the next year or so. You're going to change your everyday mental patterns, attitudes, ideas and even how you think and speak. (Heady stuff.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This year you're going to learn what is really important to you, especially in terms of practical, tangible things. To do this, you're going to have to learn what is important to you in an intangible way. In other words, what really matters? (There will be a midterm on this next Wednesday.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Don't be surprised if you feel more introverted and introspective this year. You're undergoing a special phase in a 30-year cycle, which is going to allow you to learn who you really are in your own terms. Start off by dropping a bunch of old tapes. Capice? They're not 'you' anymore.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Many of you are getting ready to clear the decks for some action down the road. Before you can enter this new situation, you have to get rid of what is no longer working in your life. This means this year you might say goodbye to people, places and possession that are no longer relevant. Adios!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It's time now for you to learn how you can successfully integrate your individual self with some kind of group expression. ("Pick me Monty!") You're also going to see which hopes and wishes for the future you have successfully realized. You're going to get results.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This year is a very powerful year for your sign. (Really big.) Essentially, it's a time of harvest. Although you'll have more responsibilities, perhaps even roles of leadership, it's going to be a year of great achievement. (Applause sign.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

As this year wears on, you'll be increasingly attracted to subjects that are lofty -- philosophy, religion, metaphysics, and Sudoku. You're preparing for a time when you're actually going to test your effectiveness as a human being.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This year is going to teach you how to stand on your own two feet. (Wheelchairs are allowed.) Your independence in a practical way will be tested. That's why the resources of others might diminish. You have to rely on yourself. And you will!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are now redefining yourself through one-to-one relationships with those who are important to you. Your closest partnerships will undergo major changes now. Some will end. Your attention is turning to your outer, external world.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a year of hard work but not for nothing. It's all about your own development. You're learning how to get your ducks in a row and put things in order so that you get the best bang for your buck. Conserve your energies. Take care of your body.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Billy Zane (1966) shares your birthday. Because you give up things for others, it's important for you to find a way to please yourself as well as that important person in your life. You're extremely open and giving. Your unselfishness promotes a desire to work for the betterment of others. To learn something important this year, you will choose to spend more time by yourself.
