Horoscope for Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2021

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might have a confrontation with an authority figure — Mom, Dad, teacher, your boss or the police. Be careful because you just can’t let go of a sudden urge or impulse that might get you in trouble. Don’t be your own worst enemy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Something going on behind the scenes is building up within you, which is why you might speak your mind to someone, especially about politics, religion or racial issues. It might also be related to travel or something in the media. Stay chill.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be careful you don’t end up in an ego battle with a friend or a member of a group today. That’s because there’s an energy out there that makes people obsessed about ideas, needs and wants. You might think you are fighting for your own goals, but are you?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

If you’re wise, you will avoid power struggles with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs, especially females. It won’t be pretty. Basically, this is a power struggle with a lot of emotional intensity attached to it. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Not. Be calm, cool and collected.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be smart and avoid controversial discussions about politics, religion and racial issues. Likewise, avoid intense discussions about home improvements or improvements to your health because these will turn into power struggles that could be nasty. Forewarned is forearmed!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Avoid disputes about shared property, inheritances, insurance issues or debt because they will quickly escalate into a power struggle that will not benefit you. Instead, focus elsewhere because this is a good day to finish things — quickly and easily.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Although you are an excellent debater (so many of you are in law), you actually don’t like confrontation. Be wise today and avoid nasty disputes with partners and close friends, which could arise, especially related to family matters or home improvements. Stay chill.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful because this is kind of day where squabbles will arise that are related to work, perhaps your pet, or even something to do with your health. For some reason, the squabbles will suddenly become intense! That’s because people are obsessed with their ideas today. (Not you, of course.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Parents need to be patient with their kids today. Romantic partners need to be patient with each other. People working on creative projects likewise need to be patient. However, the good news is that it’s easy to finish something already on your plate today. Just do it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Squabbles at home with family members, especially female relatives, are tough to avoid today. However, they are mostly emotional power struggles, which means with some mindfulness and mental discipline, you can avoid this. Don’t take the bait. You don’t have to be right. You don’t have to win.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be very convincing in your arguments with others today, but your words could lead to an argument with someone. Issues are heated because people are emotionally involved. They feel they have something at stake. Mostly, it’s obsessive feelings.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Money issues might be important to you today, which is why you could end up arguing about something — either earnings, cash flow money or something that you own. You don’t need this! Therefore, do your best to stay uninvolved. Instead finish something up today. This, you can do.
