Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012: This year you unravel a long-term issue by remaining gentle and caring. Others feel safer with you, no matter what type of relationship you have. Openness nearly becomes a way of life. If you are single, you might see a change in a major relationship, waving on more of what you want. If you are attached, don’t test your sweetie’s patience. Let him or her have his or her way more often. VIRGO understands you perhaps far too well.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Listen to your sixth sense with a friend. You might not be completely right, but you have a strong sense of direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★: The only mistake you can make is holding yourself back. You know what works well for you. Let your imagination come forward. The ideas that follow are quite unusual. Romance could get spicy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

an offer that you barely can say no to.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★: Keep reaching out for others. Share an unusually mellow mood. Some of you might opt to stay close to home. Use care with your finances, as a mistake can happen all too easily, especially in the next few weeks. Recognize your limitations while honoring who you are. Your creativity and confidence grow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★: Remain sensitive to a partner or associate. Relate one-on-one with key people if you want to make an impact. Keep reaching out for someone at a distance who might be closed off. You cannot change this person, but you can encourage him or her to look at his or her behavior.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★ ★ ★ ★: Let others show their hand. You might wonder which is the best way to handle a key issue. Listen to opinions. If you don’t feel comfortable with what you hear, hold off on making a decision. Find a respected adviser first.
