You will in no way stick your neck out for those who are unwilling to try in the first place. You will help others, but you won’t do it all for them, and they must take the lead in their own efforts if you are going to sup- port them. But that, of course, is the key: you will lend support, and only support, to one who is able to do most of the work in his or her own name. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20 PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to be much more forceful than usual today if you are to persuade those around you that how you see things is the way they are. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care that you don’t respond to what goes on around you in a disproportionate manner. Going from zero to 60 does you no good at all! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be surprised at how accurately someone is able to size you up today. There’s no use in fight- ing this at all; it’s a good thing! GEMINI (May 21-June 21) -- You may be hard to read today, except to those whom you call close friends. To them you are quite transparent -- at least for a while. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Though you may not get permission to do a certain something today, you’re tempted to do it anyway. Forgiveness is easier to get, after all! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your work may be evaluated by those whom you consider ill-equipped to do so -- but even they will have something to say that is important to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’re likely to drift into unknown territory today if you are not careful to keep yourself strictly in line with each passing moment. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2020 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- How you think about a certain situation today is likely to be unusually sophisticated. Others are impressed -- and say so. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may experience increased tension on the home front today because of something you said that was taken the wrong way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- How you express yourself is likely to matter more to you than the words you use. Body language counts for much right now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re likely to bring several exciting options to the table today. Those who are trying to solve a problem look to you for quick answers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’re likely to encounter someone today who is very much your intellectual equal -- and some exciting conversation will surely result.
