THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2016
By Holiday Mathis, Creators Syndicate Inc.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Money and
security are important to you. Don’t let any-
one make you feel like you’re uptight just be-
cause you need to know the details connect-
ed to your financial security. It doesn’t make
you uptight; it makes you smart.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll make
practical choices, honor tradition and show
up where you’re expected. At some point
you’ll wonder what’s in it for you — a natural
response to these circumstances. You’ll find
out the answer to that soon enough.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Common inter-
ests and social activities are at the center of
a relationship right now, but there has to be
more than that at the center for this to work
well. Dig deeper and note what else is there.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are de-
voted to your loved ones and domestic life,
but you have many tastes and interests out-
side of the realm of what your friends and
family can understand.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know right
away what is for you and what is not. How-
ever, you won’t say no right away, because
you care about people’s feelings. Later, you’ll
be glad you make the effort to let them down
gently.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Hard-selling
isn’t your thing. You prefer to present your
case then step back and let people draw
their own conclusions. Today’s situation is
different. There’s more at stake, and it will be
worth it to push and make it happen.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll do more
to push a group’s agenda than you would
ever do to forward your own private inter-
ests. Think about this. Don’t you deserve as
ferocious a fight as you’re giving on behalf

of others?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People will
remember what you told them first and also
the last thing you said. As for the middle,
well, blame it on the diminishing attention
span of the new world; then find another way
to get that important message across.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve
a need for close personal relationships, but
this need is not as driving or overwhelmingly
big for you as it is for some. You can relate
with compassion to the intense souls of your
life while still maintaining perspective.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Although
you approach the problem from a different
place, you will come to the same solution as
another great mind across the way. This is
not happening by accident. Take it as a hint
and let it bring you together.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This day
comes complete with the gifts of a rare qual-
ity of warmth, affection and attraction. Enjoy
and, while you’re at it, save a little piece of
this so you can recall it better later.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Diplomacy is
often the best way to go, but in today’s in-
stance this is not the case. You’ll be better off
to take a stand for what you really believe;
otherwise you’ll wind up in a tight spot later.
TUESDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 16). By this
time next year you’ll be richer! You’ll put your
off-the-chart energy levels to excellent use in
the next 10 weeks and get set for a major
move mid-April. May is romantic, though love
will visit you in many other forms, as well, as
you head into a summer of rather unusual
and exciting circumstances. Virgo and Sagit-
tarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 29,
1, 22, 23 and 30
