Recently

FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 When you look into the night sky at an object that is 100 light years away, you are essentially looking back in time because what you are seeing is how the object appeared 100 years ago. This same weird sense of time affects your life story. Mercury'…Read more. FOR RELEASE: SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012 Generosity of spirit can be an intangible quality that people recognize on deeper levels, even if they would be hard-pressed to describe it in concrete terms. The Leo moon changes that, making something as invisible as love seem clear and obvious. …Read more. FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2012 Mercury got a boost of zesty Gemini energy yesterday, which King Neptune, frankly, finds irritating. It could be that Neptune is just jealous of all that youthful vigor, or that Mercury has a tendency to talk "out of school." Either way, …Read more. FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012 Did things just get more interesting, or have they been interesting all along and we're only just now noticing it?

Horoscopes by Holiday for February 13

How many tasks do you do just because you should? What about relationships? Are there people you give too much time and energy to because you simply haven't figured out how to gracefully say no? Mercury goes retrograde, providing the perfect excuse for not contacting anyone you really don't want to talk to in the first place.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Those who match your personality, tone, intelligence and sense of humor will give you energy, validating your work and encouraging you onward. Those who don't should be avoided now, as you're feeling impressionable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Start the day off with a brainstorm to get your mind churning out the good ideas. People depend on you to be fresh, real and solution-oriented. A Sagittarius connection is lucky.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). New expenses are incurred. Instead of fretting, embrace these expenditures as evidence that you're investing in yourself and your ideas. Others will soon reinforce your belief in yourself by helping out financially.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To love and be loved can be challenging as your relationship goes through a test of wills. But there are many more solutions than the two of you can come up with. Ask around.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're emotionally stronger. Therefore, it's time to stop avoiding that unpleasant fact and face it. Try writing in a notebook. On the page, you'll be able to look at it objectively and see a solution.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 13). You're a powerful force in the world this year. A venture is successful in March because you decide to honor yourself and capitalize on your talents. Friends give you social and financial leads in April. You're a hit with family in April, offering help at a critical time. You share a cosmic connection with Sagittarius and Pisces people. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 27, 46, 20 and 43.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Security is one thing; boredom is quite another. Find new diversions to keep things interesting, anything from taking a class to changing the wallpaper on your desktop computer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You carved your niche and stuck to it, even though some people said it couldn't work. You do have a way of opening people's minds. Now sing your own praises.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). All financial breakthroughs don't necessarily look like a windfall, but there will be subtle signs that you're on the right track! Play the game, abide by the rules and, above all, hustle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

22-Dec. 21). You're not currently using a resource (this might be a person, a software program, a club membership) to its fullest capacity — not even close! Get educated. Get the help you're entitled to.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Allow yourself to get lost in imagination. Dream about what will happen if you step three paces beyond your current limit. What seems extreme is actually a viable solution to your most pressing problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone thrives under your tutelage. And by teaching others, you train yourself to be a true master. Tonight, the way out of a dilemma isn't the same way you came into it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're finding ways to love the most unlovable parts of your work. The key is in recognizing who benefits from your efforts and how you can add value to these benefits.

HEAVENLY HEART MATCHES (PART TWO) — What does each sign need to be happy with a partner for the long term? LEO: This sign loves a partner who is talented and can spot the talent that's inside Leo. Everyone knows that Leos need a lot of attention. But they also need to give a lot of attention to someone they feel deserves their accolades. VIRGO: Mutual respect is a cornerstone of Virgo's love life. Virgo will stick with a partner who is conscientious and knows not to take this giving sign for granted. Virgo also admires a counterpart who is equally committed to living healthy and feeling good. LIBRA: Libra never tires of beauty and requires a partner who sees the value in a beautiful environment. This could pertain to the personal environment of one's body and mind, or the larger environment of domesticity and geography. Libra equates love with daily lovely experiences. SCORPIO: If you don't want to be found out, love with a Scorpio isn't for you. This sign will uproot every secret and overturn any lie you tell yourself. Scorpio needs a partner who is also fascinated by and unafraid of the naked truth.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Christina Ricci could write an article or blog this year spouting her own kooky dogma — Aquarius people have their own fascinating view of the world. That's part of their charm. Actresses born under this inventive sign are often cast because of their originality. Once established in the business, they can easily drive up their salary because they're considered one of a kind.
