Mercury joins the party in Aquari-
us. The sun, Venus and Neptune are
already in this zany station, and when
Mercury arrives, the volume level
goes way up and so does the fun. If
this were an actual party, this would
be the moment the neighbors call the
cops. Include everyone in
your fun and you'll avoid
attracting the wrong kind of
attention.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY
(Feb. 10). Though many
fortuitous events will fill your
year, it is the beliefs and at-
titudes you maintain that will
bring you happiness. The
attention of someone you
admire will motivate you.
Your positive outlook at-
tracts a new position to you
in March. Learn the skills to do the job
well, and by April you'll be making
more money. Cancer and Leo people
adore you. Your lucky numbers are:
19, 4, 33, 26 and 42.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The things you normally wouldn't have
to put on your schedule, like talking
to a friend or eating lunch, will now
need to be carefully planned out, or
else there just won't be time to do
them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Your assumptions will be challenged,
perhaps by a Scorpio. This is a happy
occurrence. It's good to be reminded
that even with all your experience,
you can still be surprised by life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Ev-
eryone around you will have a differ-
ent opinion about the state of things.
Listening to the discussion may not be
very helpful to you, though, since what
really matters most to your journey is
how you see the world.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Your mental discipline will be impres-
sive. Your mind will filter out all that
doesn't contribute to the bottom-line
result you are looking for. Make the
most of this rare gift.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
will take command of a squirrelly
situation. First you have to find a tasty
nugget that will stop the "squirrel" in
question dead in its tracks. Don't even
try to handle the situation until you
have the right bait.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Showing off is in bad taste. Although,
being too modest could present prob-
lems, as well. Practice putting across
your ideas and expertise in a confi-
dent, informative, yet understated
tone.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-
Oct. 23). You'll endear
others to you with your
conversational etiquette.
You're an excellent lis-
tener, and you rarely
interrupt. It's not just be-
cause you were taught
correctly, but also be-
cause you're genuinely
interested in what others
say.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-
Nov. 21). You'll think of that distant
person again. There was a time when
this person seemed the lodestar of
your life. But now the older and wiser
you realizes that it's a mistake to make
another human your guiding light.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Achievement is more important
than success. You know what you've
done. The pride that comes from that
is far sweeter than the ringing of ap-
plause in your ears.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You'll be affected by changes in
technology. You can't do your work in
the same way you once did because
you won't get the same results. You'll
have fun making adjustments and get-
ting up to speed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You can't have a stellar approval rat-
ing every day. And if you did, you'd
be a bore. This is an especially auspi-
cious day to rock some boats. Make
a game of it. Give yourself points for
each person you shock.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If
the information seems to answer every
question, there is probably something
wrong with it. True knowledge doesn't
close the case. It opens the mind to
new questions and possibilities.
