Free Daily Horoscope - February 19 2017

Aries (3/21 to 4/19)

● General: Your wit is razor sharp today, so don't let it go to waste. When you enter a room full of people, strike up a conversation by just saying whatever is on your mind at the time; don't edit yourself or over think what you want to say. Free and easy communication is usually the most interesting and it will encourage people to talk back. This is a wonderful day for a job interview, a first date, or any other situation in which you need to make an outstanding first impression.
● Work: Try to make sure your focus is on service. Even if you aren't client-facing anytime soon (or ever), you still need to do what it takes to deliver what they expect plus a little bit more.
● Finances: You're not comfortable with the emotions that money, or a lack of it, brings up. But money isn't in charge of how you feel; you are. Keep things in perspective and remind yourself of your own, personal take on life instead of letting yourself get upset.
● Love: If you're feeling lonely or depressed, reaching into the annals of your romantic past won't make it better. In fact, hooking up with a toxic ex will only bring up lots of old hurt and pain. Let bygones be bygones right now. Focus on the future, instead.

Taurus (4/20 to 5/20)

● General: Progress only happens if you assemble a plan -- so get to brainstorming today! Invite your smart friends in on the task and ask them what they would do if they were in your shoes. Creativity will be a great way to boost your idea generator too. So later in the afternoon, draw, dance, or create any other kind of art -- that will help you clear your mind and bring you joy. Exercising your artistic muscles never felt so good.
● Work: Your network is important today, though not in the usual way. You may not get much out of any one person, but your connectedness is going to help propel you forward in business.
● Finances: You feel certain things with deep intensity today. You are as passionate about giving your money away as you are about keeping it all to yourself, and you excel at both. Don't expect a similar level of intensity in your personal relationships.
● Love: You crave human contact now, but that might cause problems if you take it too far. Lust is usually not love, so don't hop in the sack with someone just to fill that void. If you feel used now, wait until afterward. Better to find that connection with friends and family.

Gemini (5/21 to 6/21)

● General: Too much is going on in your life right now to be worried about what's going on the lives of others! If you're going to be even slightly concerned about anyone else's needs but your own, focus on your partner. It's all about your inner circle right now -- make sure that you and the person (or persons) you care the most about in this world are doing well. Everyone else can take care of themselves. Your heart needs to be reminded who matters most.
● Work: Your head is in the right space for it, and you should be able to get it all right the first time. It's time to calculate the odds of success for each of the possibilities on the table.
● Finances: You're as stubborn as a mule and feel just as unattractive as one, at least on the inside. Everyone has their ugly days and this is yours, no matter how much of a beautiful person you usually are. Your best defense against yourself is to avoid dealing with money or love.
● Love: Things are tight all over right now, but you don't have to sacrifice style for your ever-tightening budget. Have you ever thought of throwing a co-ed clothing swap? Gather your single friends and ask them to bring their discards -- it's a great way to get new clothes and hook up with old pals.

Cancer (6/22 to 7/22)

● General: It's a good time to start thinking about your future, especially in terms of a partnership. Where do you want a certain friendship or work relationship to go? Set some goals on this front -- any plans you formulate now have a high likelihood of coming to fruition. You're in a phase of life when you want to get things done, not just think about getting things done. You have the drive, the energy and the attitude you need to take it to the next level -- if that's what you want.
● Work: Details really matter this time around. You don't need to gather the whole team, but it's a good time for strategic planning with the people you know can handle the responsibility.
● Finances: When you're not sure what to do, you should be sure to do nothing. There is no being on the fence today. That feeling of indecision is a big, red flag that you just can't pretend to ignore. The deal is off, and it's time to accept it.
● Love: You have one particularly troubling bad habit. Whether it's your addiction to refined sugar or your propensity to chain smoke, it's time to get it under control. Seek the kind of help you need to deal with it, whether it's a support group or a physician -- now's the time to get healthy.

Leo (7/23 to 8/22)

● General: You'll start out today with lots of energy -- so much so that you might leap out of bed prepared for anything. Plenty of emotions, ideas, and hopes are swimming around in your head right now, and they are giving you a blast of physical endurance and energy that will carry you through the entire day. There is no question that you will have the ability to tackle all tasks with the efficiency of a supercomputer. This is a great day for any physical competition.
● Work: Your head for figures is great right now, so you should find new savings. It's a great time for you to go over the budget, whether you're reviewing the last fiscal year or projecting the next one.
● Finances: Everything you need to know is beneath the surface. Like a good con artist, a certain business deal knows just how to dress itself up as something it's not. Look beneath the surface before you commit any money. Due diligence is a must.
● Love: Things change; people move on. If you're hanging on to some crazy idea that you're going to get back together with that long-lost boyfriend or girlfriend, you're smart to let it go. Fantasy is rarely better than reality; the sooner you accept it, the better you feel in the long run.

Virgo (8/23 to 9/22)

● General: Going shopping today? Then stop off at a used furniture, vintage clothing or antique store rather than the mall. An undiscovered gem is waiting to be found, and your mind is in just the right place to discover it today. You have the ability to understand the true value of something that no one else appreciates. Turn away from the flashy and the new. Instead, look for something weathered and old -- find something that has a story to tell and integrate it into your life.
● Work: Everything slides into place and clicks for you, but a coworker may need assistance. You'll have no trouble seeing the forest and the trees, so seize the advantage and plan for a solid future.
● Finances: You're more than a little curious. A certain mystery is like a hidden, driving force in you. Your intellect just won't let you rest until you've found your answer. That the books are private won't deter you, either. You've already seen enough to analyze.
● Love: You won't get anywhere romantically if you don't expand your scope of experience. So head out and try something new. Whether it's an exotic neighborhood or a crazy new bar, grab a friend and go for it. Talk to the first available hottie while you're at it.

Libra (9/23 to 10/23)

● General: You will make a major impact on people today even when you don't intend to -- your words carry extra weight and your decisions carry extra significance, so be careful. Your smallest, most innocuous actions can trigger big events you can't control, so think before you speak and make sure you don't send a message that could be misconstrued. And watch how friendly you are with new people -- they could think you are flirting with them when you're just be nice.
● Work: Is there something you've been putting off just a little too long? Now is the time to assuage your conscience and take care of anything that's been relegated to the back burner.
● Finances: Superficial changes in your financial status don't really fluster you. They have to go pretty deep to get a rise out of you. They are beginning to do just that, and it's time to take things more seriously than you have been. Take care of urgent business.
● Love: Good energy surrounds you today -- it's like a bubble of protection from all bad vibes directed your way. So go ahead. Do whatever it is you've gotta do. Walk through life with confidence, knowing you can't lose in any endeavor, romantic or otherwise.

Scorpio (10/24 to 11/21)

● General: The universe is sending you some introverted energy, and so you're probably not going to feel up for a party or big social exchange today. It's okay to take a break from the big, bad world and stick to yourself for a while -- in fact, it's healthy. So instead of hanging out with a bunch of friends, feel empowered to enjoy a quiet night in. Let everyone else have fun without you -- you'll have a great time settling in on the couch and enjoying some good movies and popcorn.
● Work: You can make anything happen if you're intimate with the details, and they'll come easily to you right now. Drill down to the specifics of any project you're working on currently.
● Finances: You know you have to have confidence in yourself to get others to have confidence in you, but it's a Catch-22 when you're not sure of what you can pull off. This is the big one, so talk yourself into a state of high energy. Don't stop until you radiate power and potential.
● Love: Someone you've pegged as off limits suddenly becomes available for whatever reason. This serendipitous turn of events creates an interesting situation for you. Romantically speaking, you're poised to take a risk. Assess your losses and proceed with caution.

Sagittarius (11/22 to 12/21)

● General: Sometimes life just isn't fair, but that shouldn't stop you from trying to see justice done today. It's not silly to believe in fairness, it's admirable. Hang on to your idealism with all your might -- it will help you adjust to any unexpected situation, be more self-sufficient, and keep you safe from people who don't like to play by the rules. Everything cannot be completely equitable in every situation, but you can work to make it as close as possible.
● Work: A little diplomacy will go a long way today. Be wary of the boss or the board right now -- they will have their own ideas about how to proceed, which will be in stark contrast with your own.
● Finances: The big picture and your inner picture line up nicely today. It's not a stretch to daydream about financial success. In fact, you may want to find some time to be alone to do just that. It will actually influence your bank account.
● Love: Communication is king today. Sign language and eye contact won't cut it either. Be verbal; be verbose, even. Don't leave any messages to chance. You won't get anywhere skirting the issue. If you want something or someone, state it as fact.

Capricorn (12/22 to 01/19)

● General: When things get tricky today, it might be easy to let someone else take over the decision-making, but is it in your best interest? You're up for whatever challenges come along, so don't sit on the sidelines. Jump in there and start getting things done -- be more actively involved in what you're doing today. Every challenge is an opportunity to be proud of yourself, so if you let those situations pass you by, or you allow someone else take care of them, you're cheating yourself.
● Work: Don't worry about goals for now -- you should blow past them soon. Your productivity is going to skyrocket today, and a few lucky colleagues will get a boost thanks to your new energy.
● Finances: There is no good way to combine friends and money unless it's the chance you have today. Pooling funds with friends can lead to quick profit with no hassles if you all agree to a one-hit deal. Otherwise, it gets too hard to stay objective.
● Love: Someone's not getting it at all today -- to the point of being embarrassing. It's up to you to pull them aside and explain what's up. If you can't get the message across, try again, but only if your job depends on it. Won't affect you? Move on already.

Aquarius (1/20 to 2/18)

● General: Feel as if you've been through an emotional ringer lately? Take heart -- you're due for a break now. Your great attitude has made everything go smoothly lately -- good for you! Tempers are cooling, fortunes are turning, and you are set for a traveling opportunity. You will be able to learn more about a different culture or cultural event you've always been curious about. Fill today with exploration and feed your curiosity. It will stimulate your mind.
● Work: Try to nail down the specifics right now. You are more down to earth than usual and can deal with those coworkers and clients who usually have a hard time with your big ideas.
● Finances: You're mulling over your financial and career options today. You may or may not make any changes, but thinking things through is a good mental exercise every now and then if nothing else.
● Love: If you're on the prowl, going on a first date or meeting someone new, focus on the eyes, they'll reveal everything. Words mean nothing -- if you're searching for something and see nothing, this is going nowhere. If it's meant to be, the connection will be instantaneous.

Pisces (2/19 to 3/20)

● General: Making the right choices in life can be hard to do, but no one else is going to do the job today -- it's up to you. But you're ready for this kind of pressure, in fact you kind of like it! Look at the situation, pick the path that offers the least amount of risk, and you should be fine. You are a strong person, whose level of strength has yet to be fully explored. Have confidence that even if all the hard times are not behind you right now, they are at least going away very soon.
● Work: The consequences of inaction are much worse than those of making the wrong decision. It's definitely time to take decisive action, even though you almost certainly don't feel ready yet. Just take a deep breath and go for it.
● Finances: You're sick of being treated like a doormat, but the alternatives could be even worse. In fact, you have the distinct feeling that you're on the edge of the gangplank looking down into shark-infested waters. Shudder, reposition your imaginary eye patch and get back to work.
● Love: Getting to know someone is a slow and steady process, so don't feel as if you have to learn everything about this person in one night and vice versa. Don't reveal too much too soon. You don't want to spoil the mystery and intrigue.
