Horoscope for Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019

Moon Alert

After 8:30 a.m. Chicago time, we have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today your attention turns to your most personal relationships. These people will be much more important to you than usual. You might feel warmhearted to them or, by contrast, you might feel jealous. But you will have strong feelings!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you have to accept that you might be forced to put the wants and needs of others before your own. It’s just what it is. You can resent it or you can feel self-respect because you’re glad to do what needs to be done. (This is admirable.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It will be tough to conceal your feelings from others today so don’t even bother. You might be wearing your heart on your sleeve. You might feel protective and nurturing to others. Or you might feel possessive? Could be anything.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you will enjoy being off by yourself. Many of you will seek the comfort of your own home so you can escape the busyness of the outside world and relax among familiar surroundings. Enjoy this needed time of introspection.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your discussions with others will be subjective today because you just can’t help coming from your own point of view at a “gut” level. It’s just a deep reaction. This is why you want to have a serious heart-to-heart with whomever you encounter — not chitchat about the weather.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because it’s easy to identify with your possessions today, you might not want to lend something to someone. It’s as if things represent a lot in your mind today. Probably you’re holding on to memories, which is something we all do.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the moon is in your sign, which can make you very emotional and giving to everyone around you. Ironically, it can also make you emotionally demanding! One good thing will happen: It slightly increases your good luck!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you are tempted to withdraw from everything around you and seek out some quiet space just for yourself. You’re not feeling antisocial. You just need some downtime and some peace and quiet. It’s also a good day to explore mystical or spiritual disciplines.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In contact with your friends today, you might find that you feel more protective and supportive than usual. Alternatively, you might attract someone to you who gives you this kind of emotional support. This is because the moon, which is nurturing, is in your House of Friendships.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

For some reason, some of the most intimate details of your personal life are on public display today. (Like what’s with that?) Maybe you will have a public argument? Or perhaps you want to help someone else and it’s through your job or your relationship with a boss?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you have a strong urge to get away from all this and do something different. Ideally, travel somewhere if you can. If not, explore your own backyard and be a tourist in your own city. Meet new friends or talk to people from foreign countries or do whatever you can to be stimulated.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today your emotional experiences will be more intense than usual. This might be because you’re discussing shared property or the wealth of someone else. Or you might be disputing a debt or an inheritance. Keep your shirt on. (This is tough if you need to get something off your chest.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Kelsey Grammar (1955) shares your birthday today. You are easygoing, relaxed and often interested in spirituality. You are modest about your talents and tend to go with the flow. This is your year of harvest and major achievements because you are reaping the benefits of the last decade. You will taste power and leadership in all your relationships. Get going. Make it happen! It’s time to think success, power and money!
