Horoscopes by Holiday-Week of February 14

The week starts with a dreamy, romantic Valentine's Day and the excitement of the Chinese New Year, too. The day of hearts ushers in the year of the Metal Tiger, which promises to be filled with powerful pursuits and surprising twists. Venus and Jupiter align to teach us about love. Pour all of the love in your heart into your desire. Your love won't diminish. Indeed, it multiplies. There is an endless supply of love in the universe.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You deliver on your promises and do your part of the work. Still, you have a responsibility to someone that is not being upheld to the fullest of your potential. How could you do better? Make a list. It won't take as much effort as you think. Your mere intention of improving will make you do better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Look into making some physical changes at work and home. You need your space to energize you when you're depleted, organize you when you're confused and relax you when you're stressed out. Sounds like a lot to demand of an environment, but with the right design, you'll work and live with greater ease.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Finish what you start, even when you see that it's silly and useless to do so. This is especially important if you are the only one who will know or care that you finished. Not finishing could turn into a tendency that won't serve you in life. If you do it when it doesn't matter, you'll do it when it does.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don¹t need to be like everyone else. If you buy in and get the latest gadget, wear the popular shoes or do your hair in the current style, you will immediately realize that it really doesn't matter. Save yourself the effort and stick to being and doing what feels the best to you, regardless of the world's influence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are attractive, strong and able. That's why people will work hard to influence you this week. They want you on their side. It's flattering, all this attention. And yet you should consider very carefully who to join sides with. Do your own thinking on matters. Don't let anyone put words in your mouth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are versatile and willing to adapt your sense of timing in order to best serve those around you. You can go a million miles a minute, or you can move at a snail's pace. It is remarkable how well you are able to put aside your own wants in order to understand the needs of another.

You will be richly rewarded.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a fair idea of where you stand in a relationship, but do not mistake this for your permanent position. Relationships change by the minute. Decide how you want this to go. Hold this outcome in your heart. You will be able to strongly influence the other person on Thursday and Friday.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want to reach a certain milestone so that you will not be vulnerable to the things that frightened and pained you in the past. When you get there, you will find that you are vulnerable to something else. It's always something. That's just life. Accept your vulnerability. Call it a thing of beauty. And get used to it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes it's nice to keep your options open. That said, you can only live in the realm of possibilities for so long before you get the urge to nail something down. By midweek, you'll find that you're growing weary of limbo land and long for a commitment that will guide your future action — preferably in writing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You've seen many things in the world, and yet you still have the capacity to be astonished, which this week will prove. It helps that you will continue to put yourself in places that inspire and accept the general public. The energy of groups will invigorate you and give you new ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Why is solitary confinement a punishment? What is so bad about being alone for a while? You will be energized by some alone time this week. However, you still need the feedback of others in order to understand yourself fully. And when your nearest and dearest give you positive feedback, it's absolutely heavenly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Do you smile because you are happy, or are you happy because you smile? As long as you remain in this lovely mood, the answer doesn't matter. Wednesday, there will be a chance to influence your friend to take the high road. Then Friday, you'll find yourself at the crossroads. Apply your own advice.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You wish you could do more for your loved ones, your acquaintances and the community at large. But what you're not seeing is that you are playing an important role by just being you. You approach your work with great integrity. People like and admire you. The attention you receive is well deserved. March brings a breakthrough in your finances. Your personal life sparkles with new energy in April. Family serves you in June, and you'll help them in November. July brings travel.
