Friday, February 5, 2016 — THE MEDICINE HAT NEWS B7 COMICS HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb. 5, 2016: This year you have many aspirations. Be careful with dreams revolving around money and material security. An offer that seems too good to be true probably is. Trust cynicism. If you are single, you could change a lot because of a relationship. This person might be controlling or just not your type. Somehow, he or she might be withholding something from you. If you are attached, the two of you often get into power plays. As a result, you avoid your sweetie and discussions with him or her. Don’t do that. Be open-minded and nonjudgmental. CAPRICORN can be hard to deal with. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3- Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Your creativity comes from an inner sense of self. Your imagination creates many ideas, but you might choose not to share them. These flights of fancy are important to your sense of well-being. Take a stronger role in your professional envi- ronment. Tonight: Lead others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ You might have the de- sire to do something very different. A change in scenery proves to be benefi- cial to many people, including you. Take off, and you will gain a new per- spective on whatever ails you; it also will help you to relax. Tonight: Take off as fast as you can. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★One-on-one relating will reveal a lot of information about a higher-up. You might want to check out the facts to gauge how much is really just gossip. You won’t want to work with false information. A loved one wants you to change your plans. Tonight: Let the party begin. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ Bask in the popularity of the moment. Whether you’re mak- ing plans or closing a business deal, you have many options. You know that this kind of diversity does not happen frequently. Take advantage of the moment. Be careful with someone who is very controlling. Tonight: Out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ You could be left to com- plete everyone else’s errands. Since you tend to complete a lot quickly, you’ll be out enjoying the next few days before you know it. Ask yourself how many times you have left details unfinished for others to complete. Tonight: The party goes on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Others will lure you into a late lunch or an early departure from work. Often you are too responsible to leave work undone, but today is different. Be careful with a new per- son you meet who might be very ap- pealing; he or she could be controlling. Tonight: Enjoy every mo- ment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ The best intentions could fall to the wayside. You might feel nervous. Consider working from home, where you can relax and ac- complish more. You are inspired by an associate who is full of ideas. Under- stand what it takes to get past an ob- stacle. Tonight: Play it low-key. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ Your imagination feeds your ability to draw out others. Be careful if you sense that someone is becoming very controlling. Perhaps the person could be you. Others don’t appreciate this kind of behavior. Find out what’s motivating you. Tonight: Wish upon a star. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Your finances will play a big role in your plans. No one wants to accept limitations, especially you, but you probably will have to. Do not fight city hall; instead, choose to work with the situation. You’ll come up with a reasonable solution. Tonight: Make it your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Beam in what you want. Your imagination will be fed through a conversation with a friend. When you are talking to this person, you realize how many diverse opportunities you have. Decide to break the mold and head in a new direction. Tonight: Let it happen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Saying little and listening a lot paves the way to success. You might feel as if you can’t turn a situa- tion around, no matter what you do. You can — you just haven’t found the right path yet. Do not lose hope. Stay centered, and head toward your goal. Tonight: Not to be found. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ You might not be aware of how much you inspire oth- ers. An old friendship could play a stronger role in your decisions. This person is very different from you and has chosen a different path in life. Do not judge him or her for this. Be ac- cepting. Tonight: The life of the party.
