STAR SIGNS
A DAILY CROSSWORD
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16,
2016
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Hang in there, baby. Others in
your circle could be stubborn,
obstinate or difficult to persuade. Demonstrate sincerity
in concrete ways.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put
the emphasis on being cooperative and duck for cover if
quarrels or misunderstandings
arise. Executive decisions may
cause co-workers to fume.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Fires burn themselves out if
they don’t receive enough fuel.
Remain focused on the things
that engender enthusiasm, not
your anger.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cooperation seems to be in short
supply. This is a time to gather
facts and investigate a situation rather than to make a firm
decision.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Build
bridges, don’t burn them. A
brief period of cosmic unrest
can cause some pessimism and
worry. Use a sympathetic attitude to ward off inner distress.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Mixed blessings are better than
no blessings at all. You have a
gift for seeing the ins and outs
of every situation plus the wisdom to wait for the best timing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Use
your brains. It isn’t wise to burn
bridges or to get involved in
feuds. Listen to a family peacemaker and use a rational approach to solve riddles.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Evade evasiveness. Meet your
obligations head-on. Take a
hard line with your own behavior but be forgiving and kind
toward others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Your social life might become a blur of activity for a few
hours as your popularity soars.
It isn’t a good idea to let time in
the spotlight upset plans.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Your ideas could be challenged. Disputes could erupt
at work or in public places. You
may be forced to defend your
personal views.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Financial stumbling blocks may
be simply a mirage. Moody
loners don’t stand a chance,
so strive to overcome fleeting
fears and worries.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Never let others know what
you are thinking. Point out
ways that you contribute so
that co-workers won’t resent
your extended lunch breaks.
IF FEBRUARY 16 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: Put your mind to
accomplishing financial goals
in the next three to four weeks.
You could be distracted by social affairs. In April and May
the universe could shower you
with friends or inspire you with
beneficial new ideas. Pay attention to your ambitions as this
is a great time to make more
money or achieve security in
your career. The good advice
you receive in the second half
of August helps you steamroll
past problems and achieve key
goals. In September some opportunities could come with
strings attached so be careful
to do the right thing.
