Horoscope: Friday, Feb 27

What you thought was a fact yesterday won’t look much like a fact today but don’t let it change your outlook on life because a few weeks from now the so-called “facts” will change yet again and you may end up back where you started!

You need to give both your mind and your body time to recover from recent exertions. With Mercury moving into the wellbeing area of your chart today you must realize that you don’t have to work twice as hard as everyone else to get ahead.

Mars in the most dynamic area of your chart means you want to take risks, both at work and in affairs of the heart. Don’t waste time weighing up the pros and cons, just follow your instincts and worry about the consequences later. You’ll have loads of fun.

Today may bring a keen sense of empathy and understanding, Gemini. With this, verbal communication is also more likely to be effective. Consider seizing this energy by making a point of talking through any problems or issues you have with those in your life. If they don't live with you, see about driving over to visit them or calling them up to work things out. If there isn't anything pressing, see about expressing your affection for those closest to you by telling them straight out what they mean to you.

Make your dreams valuable tools for insight, Cancer. Back in the old days, great rulers believed so strongly in the insight of dreams that they employed interpreters. Whether you think dreams are mystical insights or random thoughts, you can gain a lot from them. Reoccurring dreams are significant and can point to something that needs addressing. Consider exploring this area.

Group activities or social events in your neighborhood could put you in touch with new and exciting people who eventually become friends, Leo. Shared goals and interests could give rise to plans for ambitious projects. Whatever enterprises you start today are likely to prove successful if everyone involved pitches in. This evening, enjoy quiet time with your partner.

A special gathering may take place in your neighborhood today, Virgo. If you're currently involved, you will probably attend it with your significant other. If you aren't seeing anyone, you will run into some old friends and possibly make some new ones. One of them could be a potential love interest, perhaps a little older than you. Relax, let loose, and have a little fun.

Some kind of showdown is likely today, most likely over money or a family matter, and while you need to be firm and fight your corner you also need to take the other person’s feelings into consideration. Is there some way you can both win?

You need to get serious about your cashflow situation. The Sun’s move into the money area of your chart will make it clear where and how savings need to be made. Looks like that shopping spree you were planning may have to be postponed.

You feel invincible, Scorpio, as though you can do anything. Enjoy this abundance of energy, for it's certainly unusual. Take care not to overdo it. If you haven't jogged in a while, running five miles today will leave you pretty sore tomorrow. Similarly, don't try to finish all your household repairs in one day. Remember that slow and easy wins the race and keeps you in shape for the long haul!

Your thinking is steady and reserved today, Sagittarius. You'll find that your mind is right in line with your ego, and you'll be able to accurately verbalize what's going on inside. You might be guarded about how much you tell people. It could be that others are holding back information from you. Proceed with caution and be honest in all your dealings.

Don’t get visibly angry if someone you live, work or do business with refuses to see sense today. Yes, the evidence clearly points to a certain conclusion but if they don’t want to see it you have no right to force them. Let them learn the hard way.

You can tell that a certain person is talking so fast because they have something to hide and want to confuse you. Demand that they speak slowly and make sure you pick up on any inconsistencies in their story – of which there will be plenty.

The more you try to control a situation the more likely it is to move in directions you don’t want it to go, so relax and let life come to you. Also, don’t worry if you have to pay out more than you expected today. Think of it as an investment.

This weekend’s eclipse in your sign demands that you throw caution to the wind and do those things you have so often dreamed about but so rarely got around to. Yes, you can be the next big thing. Yes, you can be a star. Just do it!

Some people always seem so negative – it’s part of their nature – but you don’t have to listen to them and you certainly don’t have to do what they tell you. The only advice that matters is what your inner voice tells you – and it’s telling you to smile.
