As we close in on Valentine's Day, the Sagittarius moon inspires grand gift ideas — perhaps a romantic getaway. After all, there's nothing like fresh surroundings to teach you what you didn't know about your loved one. And this is especially true of relationships that have been going strong for years.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Fantasizing is part of your job as a human and a crucial factor in the way your week will go. Have a few fantasies before breakfast and a few more with your lunch. This readies you for what occurs tonight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A work problem is the result of being uninspired by the project on your plate. See if you can't switch with someone. When a task fuels your soul, you'll push through any resistance you encounter to finish it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Streamline your efforts. Keep one important end in mind. Progress is swift. By this evening, something substantial has already shifted. A Libra person is on your side.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A seductive person has something to teach you. You see, you too are influential, even tantalizing, when you want to be. Shed your fear of being heard, and use your power to delight the world.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sensible choices are overrated. You make outrageous, unreasonable decisions and are somehow able to stand by them without laughing out loud. You'll enjoy this, and also be commended for your guts.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 12). You're on top of the world. Your buoyant attitude attracts people who can help you increase your earnings and usher you into intriguing social circles. Family connections and inherited talents are your keys to success through the spring. August finds you very much in love. You share a cosmic connection with Sagittarius and Libra people. Your lucky numbers are: 43, 14, 5, 3 and 28.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're unable to forcibly change your own behavior, but you can gently change it. Seek understanding. A lasting and wonderful change for the better will come about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're a leader of thoughts. Start by taking control of your own. What you think of yourself counts. What others think of you is just a projection of what you think of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There's no reason to stay in a stuffy environment. Get out and walk. You stamp out your problem with each forward step. Tonight, to keep peace in the family, you tolerate your family member's odd choices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Keep it close to the vest. Let your plan build energy by containing it. By the end of the week, you'll get the perfect opportunity to show your cards — and take the whole pot!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Family has so many wonderful opinions — none of which you agree with now. It's all about doing your own thing. In the end, you'll be happy that you marched to your own drum, and they'll be happy for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll learn from reading and listening to charismatic speakers. Of course, it's what you actually apply to your life that makes a difference. Initiate a good habit tonight — the gesture has staying power.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are a lot of things you could be now, including sparkling, witty and right. However, the one thing that friends and family need you to be is simply nice. With compassion, you win hearts.

HEAVENLY HEART MATCHES (PART ONE) — What does each sign need to be happy with a partner for the long term? ARIES: Aries needs a partner who is equally as strong. Yes, Aries is a leader, but that doesn't mean Aries is looking for a follower. Aries needs to see the warrior spark in the eyes of a love interest because, deep down, Aries wants to be tamed. TAURUS: Taurus requires easygoing flexibility. Because Taurus needs to be the rock, an ideal partner for Taurus is therefore someone who will be like water, flowing down the path of least resistance. If you refuse to back down from an argument because you never want to be wrong, you are not a long-term match for Taurus. GEMINI: Gemini requires a partner who is both interesting and interested. For Gemini, the deadliest sin of all is to be boring. Gemini will stay with someone who is full of entertaining surprises. CANCER: If you're naturally nurturing, Cancer can settle in with you. Someone who is edgy and cool might be able to infatuate a Cancer, but for the long-term, Cancer really needs a partner who is inclined to be tender with a fragile heart.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Sheryl Crow is a pop music queen, with all the levity and fun in her music that Aquarius is known for. Instead of her love life being in the media this upcoming year, it's her professional life that gets more interesting. A strange collaboration makes music industry types wonder what she's up to, but the artistic result enlivens her career.
