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.

Horoscopes by Holiday for February 26

The moon in Leo offers entertaining possibilities all day long — never a dull moment. It's as though the fates are conspiring to put on a circus. With the conclusion of each act, the clowns waiting in the wings march out in their floppy shoes to make us laugh. For many, the best way to enjoy the show is to don a silly hat and be a part of it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Loved ones might not behave to the best of their ability. There are circumstances you don't understand affecting their mood. Regardless, let your love be unchanging.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have an excellent sense of humor. You'll make an excellent impression with your brand of quick-witted entertainment. A beautiful someone likes the way you express yourself with verve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are in the mood to be musical — or maybe just noisy. Mechanical gadgets and the latest inventions will hold particular interest for you. Tonight, you'll enjoy a challenge that could only happen in today's technological world.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When things don't work one way, change your approach and try again. Your persistence will win out. Also, you know people who have the answers. Help is a phone call away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Why toil away when you can delegate? Common excuses for not delegating include, "In the time it takes to teach this, I could have done it myself." This excuse doesn't hold water if you are teaching the right person for the task.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're an inventor. Even if you are not exactly creating software or machines that will improve man's lot, you are creating something special in your lifetime. Others will reflect this to you today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Being sensitive is at once a blessing and a curse. Your highly organized nervous system will pick up on the slightest imbalances or bad vibes. And it will also carry you to great emotional and artistic heights.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The usual methods won't work. Hopefully, you have a few tricks up your sleeve. Try doing things backward, upside down and any way other than the normal way. The spoils will go to the flexible one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll be competing. Whether or not you win depends on the field you choose. Size up your competition. Keep in mind that in order to be noticed, you will have to greatly surpass what the others are doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you feel it, do it. Don't hesitate, or the feeling, and the opportunity, will be lost.

When your inner grace is expressed, people not only become endeared to you, they fall in love a little bit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Uncomfortable scenarios must play out in order for you to get the lesson. As much as you'd like to skip ahead a chapter, sometimes the only way to get to the other side is to go through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a way of bridging the gaps between people. You relate to every generation, all cultures and both genders. Your humor will be entertainment for the whole family.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 26). You will be a beloved leader this year. Your constructive approach will be admired and emulated. You have high standards, but you know when to let up on demands. You encourage others to strive for their full potential. In the process of guiding them, you'll reach yours. Finances take a turn for the better in June. Leo and Taurus people adore you. Lucky numbers are: 3, 18, 5, 43 and 20.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Give specific compliments — others thrill to hear your approval. TAURUS: Be thoughtful and considerate, or something in a relationship will be lost. GEMINI: You will validate others through your agreement and support. Kindness comes naturally to you. CANCER: Though you often love to stay in and be comfortable at home, you'll look beautiful in the glow of a foreign light. So go adventuring! LEO: You are growing in popularity this weekend. Enjoy it, but don't let it go to your head. VIRGO: Walk with grace, as though you're on the catwalk and everyone is watching. More people are watching you than you think! LIBRA: Remember, you're looking for someone to add to your life, not take it over. SCORPIO: Any work you do to create an atmosphere around you will reflect well on you. SAGITTARIUS: You have a special brilliance. Believe it, and do some investigative work to understand the nature of your particular intelligence. CAPRICORN: You are the only one who can assess where you are in life. Review, and decide that who you are is good enough. AQUARIUS: You feel in some ways overlooked, though you'll remedy that this weekend, capturing the attention you crave. PISCES: You are in alignment with those around you. You will serve them while still attending to your own needs.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Leo and Pisces are both associated with the arts and entertainment, though in a different way. Leo has an instinct about how to capture attention and keep it. Pisces can slip into the mood and spirit of another person and explore it, which is fascinating for all involved. This weekend, Leo and Pisces benefit by checking out the local artistic scene and discussing what they've experienced together.
