TODAY: Current influences remind that feelings aren't facts, even if at this juncture you are pretty sure they are and reckon you can prove it if necessary. Also, stay open to suggestions ("hey, why don't you try it with your left hand instead of your right? Sure, you always use purple, but how about yellow?") that you'd normally dismiss because "that's not the way you do it""

YOUR BIRTHDAY: Whether the topic is creative, romantic, personal, professional, etc.-al: Take a page out of Goldilocks' playbook and wait for "just right" to materialize. It will, whether or not you expend energy going from project to project (or chair to chair, spoon to spoon, bowl of porridge to bowl of porridge") and frankly your time can be more profitably spent honing your skills than hunting it down.

	Aries Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	If certain set-ups or arrangements have hit the wall, no need to employ extraordinary measures maintaining the status quo/keeping them in place. This is one of those 'you can't tell the good news from the bad news' deals, and relinquishing elderly (moldy?) routines, patterns, and structures will permit you to acquire or implement new and vastly improved ones.
	Taurus Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	To keep everybody on point (and more to the point, on your side) remember: Gentle admonitions, rather than being taken at face value, could be the spark plug for real meltdowns. And presuming that's not your intention, it is actually more efficient to ply the old "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing" for another day.
	Gemini Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	Be incredibly discerning and precise when dealing with or ordering your personal, professional, commercial, artistic, etc. affairs. Yes, even if you've hitherto been successful cultivating a certain amount of vagueness, at this juncture the more exacting you are in your transactions, and the more specific you are about your needs, the happier you will be with the results.
	Cancer Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	Think about what would be too good to be true. It can be yours, all yours, presuming that you're amenable to relinquishing certain associations or arrangements (and yes, you know which ones qualify") that are holding you back, or contributing to any sense that you're enthusiastically running laps on a hamster wheel in dire need of some WD40.
	Leo Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	The next few days are a real window to beat the bushes or shake the tree in the interests of some tangible structural reconfiguration. This pertains particularly to matters, affairs, arrangements, etc. under discussion recently, which may have consumed a fair bit of mental, physical, or verbal energy (all of that persuading and painstaking explanation!) at that time.
	Virgo Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	Try devoting your energy to how you can make it happen instead of how it will likely never work. Current influences support whichever direction you choose, so if you think that the prospect is sublime, great, and if you can't imagine why you're involved and would prefer to sit home eating worms, great, they'll help with that too.
	Libra Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	Right now it's both how you do it and who you do it with. So, despite any reservations that you may have (or could come up with") if someone offers you an opportunity to step out of your normal arena/try something that you've wanted to do forever — even if it isn't totally organized yet — seriously consider just saying yes.
	Scorpio Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	Should your idea of what is appropriate not appear to be in synch with another's idea of what is appropriate - and should that another have veto power, check writing privileges or some other influence/leverage - go out of your way not to polarize the situation. Instead, find some area where you both agree, and work your magic from there.
	Sagittarius Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	If you know what you want to do then do it, and if you don't know what you want to do, keep roasting the topic on the spit until light dawns. No worries: This is a timing thing, and a solution will manifest at the appropriate moment - the cosmic joker and his henchpeople are on the case.
	Capricorn Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	When dealing with assorted creative, romantic, financial, or charitable ventures: Much as you might wish to briskly announce that "this is the way we'll be doing it, thanks for your input but we won't be factoring it in" frankly all involved will be more productive and participatory if you appear to be aware and appreciative of their existence.
	Aquarius Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	Historically (and often!) the cosmic joker's plan differs from your official version, and therefore the benchmarks that you set to confirm that x is occurring aren't necessarily at one with what is actually happening. Moreover, while hindsight is invariably 20/20, it is sometimes difficult to maintain sufficient perspective to discern forward motion when you're in the midst.
	Pisces Tuesday, February 09, 2010
	Wait for your viewpoint/opinion/position to stabilize rather than forcing yourself to take steps that, for whatever reason, aren't, er, coming naturally. If you ignore your ambivalence, and go skipping off to make structural arrangements, i.e. signing leases, booking wedding planners, hiring architects, it's likely to be all of one whole week before you're "invited" to reassess your commitment.
