Horoscopes: Wednesday, February 12, 2020

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are questions worth answering every day, and every day they will be answered in a new way, mostly with slight differences. Though you’re coming into a cycle in which differences will be more pronounced.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re going to have to wake yourself in the name of motivation. The truth provides just the nudge. It’s time to lead yourself away from the things you’re doing that run counter to your own best interests.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are different theories about forgiveness. Some shun the idea completely. Some insist it’s the answer. Either way, most would agree it’s a lighter way to go than carrying a grudge.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To find out what your love language is, look at the last time you were hurt in love and by what. Then look at how you expressed love to another person. These indicators point to the style you’d be most receptive to.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Children go to school and, hopefully, learn how to learn. (SET ITAL)What(END ITAL) to learn -- that’s a different story, and subject to much debate. You’re still convinced you don’t know the right things, but you’re equally convinced you know how to figure them out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you believe you don’t know what you’re doing and then get evidence that supports that belief, frustration sets in. This is the point when many would give up. Not you. All of this can be figured out, if only you don’t quit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are those you admire and doing so seems to feed you on some level, give you ideas, make you feel energized. Then there are others you give a kind of tense admiration that verges on upset. Don’t focus there. It helps nothing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not that you want to move faster, it’s just that you need to get more done and that seems like the obvious way. Then again, you could add more people to the mix. That would be the fun way!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be caught between wanting to give and realizing the cost, which even the smallest interaction will have. Most of the expense will be so worthwhile. Still, you can’t spend quality time with everyone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some topics go very obviously with you. Anyone getting to know you will be moved to ask about them. Your discussion on these topics will be important to your business and to the way you think about yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Perhaps there is a part of you who is afraid of another more aggressive part of you, and there’s been some you-on-you bullying. The good news is there’s also a mediator in there somewhere to work things out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes people get to the top and forget the thousands of small steps it took to get there, encouraging with unhelpful platitudes. You’ll provide more useful help by imparting smaller and more specific instruction.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 12). In one Robert Frost poem, he asks a star to say something to us we can learn. The star replies, “I burn.” If there is a lesson on this your solar return, it is that you also burn with the heat of purpose, desire and love, with the energy of devotion to work and family, and with small but growing flames of a new ambition. Libra and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 10, 2, 7 and 50.
