Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Feb. 18

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to do business. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Private, family matters are your primary concern today. Things could get complicated, which is why late in the day, a power struggle might erupt between you and a family member, probably a female. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a chatty day! Expect to be in touch with daily contacts, siblings, neighbors and relatives. Late in the day, avoid a power struggle with someone because: Who needs it? Not you. Just ride with your popularity, which is quite reassuring right now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you are focused on money issues, earnings and cash flow — possibly, your job as well. Late in the day, power struggles about shared property or earnings that you own might arise. Don’t take the bait. Tomorrow is a lovely day.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you more emotional than you usually are (and that’s saying something because you are a sensitive sign). Avoid squabbles with someone late in the day, probably a friend or a partner. Don’t let this ruin your peace of mind.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Something hidden or behind the scenes is going on today. It could be a secret or it might just be private business. Whatever it is could precipitate a power struggle with someone, especially work-related, late in the day. Don’t fall for this temptation. If you must be tempted, choose something glorious!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because you have the blessing of lucky Jupiter in your sign until September, use this to your advantage. Do not let arguments or power struggles late in the day mar your happiness. Ironically, you are articulate and verbally to the point right now. Go easy on the little people.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today and tomorrow, people notice you more than usual. This is not the time for a hissing argument in an elevator. (Groan.) Nevertheless, you might be at odds with someone, probably a family member, late in the day. Demonstrate grace under pressure.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re keen to expand your horizons today. Because you have an urge for adventure, at the least, change your daily routine. Go someplace you usually would never go. Shake things up a little. Talk to people from different backgrounds and other countries. Be patient late in the day if an argument arises.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

On the whole, this is a lovely, easygoing day. Nevertheless, late in the day, you might have an argument about inheritances, shared property or who owns what. It might also be about how to share responsibilities. Let reason prevail.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to compromise and be accommodating with others. This will be particularly obvious to you late in the day when a power struggle will arise, probably with a female. Stay chill.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are articulate and diplomatic now with both Mercury and Venus in your sign. This actually gives you an advantage over others in all your discussions. Use this to your favor. Don’t take the bait late in the day if a power struggle arises that is work-related.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

With the Sun in your sign now, you are empowered! (This can make one swagger somewhat.) Parents should keep this in mind to avoid ego battles with children late in the day. Likewise, romantic partners will have to be patient with each other.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Artist/musician Yoko Ono (1933) shares your birthday today. You like to see the whole picture. You also like to enliven your world with bright ideas and innovations. You are sensitive and have the ability to magnetize others to you. This year others will benefit you, which is why your success lies with interacting with others. Therefore, make friends and join clubs and organizations. If you help others, you will also be helping yourself.
