A baby born today has a Sun in Aquarius and a Moon in Scorpio.

Happy birthday for February 7, 2018:
This year you will try to look for new paths and answers that will illuminate your life. You do not need to stick to a routine. The more open you are, the more exciting your life becomes. You have just pulled away from a difficult period. Take your time to think before you execute a new idea. If you are single, open up to new possibilities. Be careful when making your choices, as someone might be emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, the two of you will evolve to a new level of understanding. Consider adapting to one of your sweetie’s great ideas. What works for SCORPIO might not work for you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You have the drive to achieve what you want. Others observe your actions and, as a result, might decide to follow you down a similar path. Know when you can’t change a situation, but also recognize when your input makes a difference. Tonight: Out with a favorite person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Gaining more insight into your life is often the direct result of a disagreement or a change of style. You can observe others and how they proceed. You might opt to spice up your life and head in a new direction. Success comes through relating well to others. Tonight: Say “yes.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Back off from a situation that is transforming. Express your caring to someone you put on a pedestal. Detach, and you will understand this person better. Make plans to go to the movies. Let your imagination call the shots. Tonight: Someone you look up to also inspires you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Much is occurring behind the scenes. You could hear wild stories and wonder where one ends and another begins. Frustration builds because you can’t seem to get the full story. Trust that the unknown will become the known. Go with the moment. Tonight: Get plenty of R and R.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Honor a boss’s request, but know your limits. Focus on the here and now. You easily could be distracted, as an aspect of your daily life is subject to change. You will want more space and the freedom to work on projects at your own pace. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Listen to news with an open mind. If information and/or financial facts seem to be skewed, or if you feel off, take a step back and observe what is going on. Assume that time will be your ally, and know that the waiting game will pay off. Tonight: Join a friend and swap stories.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Understanding evolves to a new level if you can step back and remain uninvolved. You might be confused, as someone close to you could be sending you mixed messages. Try reiterating what you are hearing. You might not have all the answers. Tonight: Happy at home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By deferring to others, it implies that you have confidence in them. Allow someone the space to demonstrate what is possible. You might need to screen calls and messages, as so many people seek you out. Plan on special time with a loved one. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Realize what is happening with a child or loved one. Try to accommodate this person; otherwise, you’ll find that your plans will be sabotaged. View this person’s desire to be around you as flattering, and make it a point to be more flexible. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be creative yet also direct. Sometimes this combination can be hard to achieve. It could become quite natural for you. Emphasize your expectations. You will smile as you discover that you are finally getting your way. Don’t fight the inevitable, or jinx it! Tonight: All smiles.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Pressure to succeed might be extremely high, yet you will manage to bypass a problem with ease. How you project yourself in a business or professional manner could be very different from the norm. Use your imagination to the max. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise first.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Others admire your ability to clearly express yourself. A boss or higher-up could be quite challenging, but you’ll appreciate that he or she forces you to think. Once the brainstorming beginnings, there will be no stopping the flow of ideas. Tonight: You are leader of the gang.
