Horoscope: Feb. 17

Aries (March 21-April 19): If you’re wondering whether you should invest in yourself, be assured -- it’s a good investment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): If it makes you too tired to say you’re working hard, just say you’re goofing off.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Do some poking around as to your professional and personal options.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Keep work separate from friendship. You may want to bond with someone in a way that isn’t practical or prudent.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re doing things right. It may not appear that way to the casual observer, since you seem to be dancing to music different from that of anyone around you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll tell it like it is, though that’s not what some people want to hear.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The rumors may well be true, yet it won’t serve you to chime in on the gossip.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It is your nature to seek someone to love. Humans are like this, so don’t waste time trying to be strong and alone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look into that interest you never seem to have time to explore. You may feel ill-equipped to begin this journey.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re intuitive, and you’re paying attention to the signs. You can tell that a relationship is headed down a nonproductive path.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll appreciate that someone has your back. You probably won’t need this person, but you’ll appreciate that he or she is there for you if you ever do.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You don’t want to take advantage of anyone. You just want what’s right and what’s fair.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 17): You are game for adventure, and because of this it will be a year of remarkable happenings. Love keeps your world exciting now through May. You’ll be involved in a mystery in June, and you may decide to write about it later. Your lucky numbers are 6, 20, 31, 29 and 15.
