Horoscopes: Wednesday, February 28, 2018

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You won't be able to put your finger on exactly what's changed. You're you, only happier. It will be hard to say why. But closer examination just might reveal the culprit: love.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The joke suggests we are all equal, but some are more equal than others. While you don't believe you're superior or special, you'll get a lot of validation from the outside world today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Should you do it? Someone in the media is doing it. A friend is doing it, and it's working great for that person. But is it right for you? Is it affordable for you? This one is only worthy of a small risk.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Revel in your amateur status in some regard today. Amateurs are not bound by the rules of taste or commerce that experts are held to. They can express their unique take on the subject.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you listen to a band, you may be actually hearing five to 60 different instruments, but what you experience is a song. Don't get too caught up in the elements today. None of them are all of you. You're all of them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll find yourself in a position to defend, confront or dance around an issue. Consider employing the enormously useful power of misdirection, as a distraction will do wonders for the situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). They'll tell you they need it sooner, that you should move faster, that it's not quite enough. Before you move to appease them, consider whether or not these are truly reasonable requests.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Language will be the difference. It will make something happen instead of nothing. It will be the reason A happens instead of B. Put some thought and intention behind your words.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Since you can't very well surprise someone by giving them what they were expecting, you'll think broader and more creatively before making your move.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The yogic Triangle Pose, or Trikonasana, requires open eyes. Today will require similar balancing tactics. Find a point of focus in your sky-high dreams while grounding yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The power move will be to recognize where you're not as strong, and where there might be gaps in your resources or knowledge, and then plan a way to solve for those gaps.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You've been surprised before by your friend's uncharacteristic behavior, only now it's not surprising because it has become a part of the character you now understand your friend to possess.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 28). Let your loved ones celebrate you. This will strengthen relationships and keep them from taking you for granted, too! You're getting faster at delivering stellar results, and your profits will reflect it. Next month brings three new friends. Sign a deal in May and/or December. In June, invest in a lifestyle that suits you better. Leo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 33, 27 and 11.
