Horoscope: Feb. 24

Aries (March 21-April 19): It is very easy to say yes. Those who can say no gracefully will be catapulted to a place of power.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): There’s a puzzle to be solved. Getting the answer isn’t as important as wondering about the question.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You treasure your friends. However, they don’t always feel this. Make a gesture that sends an unmistakable message about your feelings.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You want to experience more of life. You’ll learn the kind of knowledge you can’t get in the library.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Nothing interesting can be accomplished without that fire burning inside you. Take time to tend your flames.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be dealing with many types of belief systems. Be careful not to assume that others have the same ethical standards as you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Children sometimes make the mistake of offering a defense before they are accused. Your diplomacy will lead you to handle things as they happen.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your strong suit today will be your fearlessness about telling the truth. You’ll say what others wouldn’t dare say.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Talk to the person in charge. If you sense that someone doesn’t have a handle on things, don’t hesitate to go to the next person.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s a good time for going out. It really doesn’t matter where you go or with whom. You’ll be the main attraction.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re too cool to beg, plead, complain or explain. If you don’t say much, what you say will hold great weight.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You realize that most people are thinking of themselves. You’ll present your case so others will know what’s in it for them.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 24): New love connections are made in March and under unconventional circumstances. Your lucky numbers are 9, 25, 39, 18 and 5.
