Horoscope: Feb. 20

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll make a stunning first impression on someone who has the power to hire you, promote you or buy what you’re selling at top dollar.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): It will be important to avoid overemphasizing one particular relationship in your life. Distance yourself to gain perspective.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You want to know that you’re heard and understood by those around you, though many will fail to give adequate cues to that effect.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You have the power to change a relationship. All you have to do is agree with the other person, who will then stop being preoccupied with a personal agenda and will listen to you for a change.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): People talk around you. They really open up. It’s not always pleasant, though, especially when they provide detailed information that you have no use for.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A certain troubling issue will evaporate. Perhaps the actual fact of life that has you stressed will not change, but your reaction to it will.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll improve your leadership skills by communicating in a way to which your followers easily relate.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There will be disruptions in the early stages of a project. You’ll learn what is required. Gather information, roll with the action, but it’s too early to decide definitively.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It still takes some people a long while to reply to your messages. It’s nothing personal. You’re hyper-responsible, and the rest of the world will just need a beat to catch up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Travel to where people need what you offer. You communicate well and will persuade someone to get on board with your plan.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Things will change — they always do. That’s not to say that they will progress, though. That depends on many factors.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): People who irritate you have something personal to teach you about your own beliefs and attitudes.

Today’s birthday (Feb. 20): This year your awareness of others grows, and you’ll understand what the world needs most from you. You’ll clarify a career plan over the next six weeks. A goal that you make regarding family will bring good fortune in May. There’s a windfall in August. Gemini and Leo people will be avid supporters. Your lucky numbers are 5, 11, 44, 20 and 15.
