SUBSCRIBE TO DAILY E-MAILED HOROSCOPES

TODAY: If you have a message to convey or a point to make - and many people do - consider all sides of your presentation, including the potential reaction of the participants, prior to holding forth. Current influences are hoping everyone will try to view the whole story instead of embracing the popular but not always efficient a la carte, selective, convenient "Look ma, no hands!" program.

YOUR BIRTHDAY: By all means think big, think broad, think bold - but then run your ideas through a rigorous feasibility and functionality check. While no one is trying to clip your wings or limit your fun (they wouldn't dare!): This year the emotional and material profit lies in running with your more practical creative schemes rather than the, er, more obvious candidates for cloud-cuckoo land.

	Aries Saturday, February 04, 2012
	These planets are whipping up the desire to forge ahead without doing due diligence or the necessary spadework, so you may be keen to wrap up the negotiations, sign the contract, close the deal, or define the relationship, immediately would be fine!!! Nevertheless, you are highly encouraged to mind your steps and modulate your pace.
	Taurus Saturday, February 04, 2012
	Stop, look and listen. There may be a more effective way of conveying your viewpoint, so if you're willing to consider that possibility, go seek it out, rather than just forging ahead with your pre-existing plan. Said plan could probably use an update or three, in that it was, figuratively speaking, organized when Woodrow Wilson was in the White House.
	Gemini Saturday, February 04, 2012
	Internals over Externals 101: Irrespective of the number of people you poll for their opinion of your arrangement, or the squad of helpers offering succor and advice, the only thing that will convince you that an arrangement is viable is you (and your intuition) - rather than a hard, fast fact on which you can hang your hat.
	Cancer Saturday, February 04, 2012
	Perhaps you would like to reconsider or otherwise wrangle your need to make somebody (or many somebodys!) aware of what you consider to be a burning issue. Redacting a concept from the public domain or consciousness (think "I can see Russia from my house") is way harder than not weighing in from the start.
	Leo Saturday, February 04, 2012
	The deeper you dig into your position, the harder it will be to even entertain the plausible explanations or options that are waltzing across the stage for your consideration. So if your nearest and dearest are rolling their eyes and sighing heavily when you explain your assessment of a situation, pay heed.
	Virgo Saturday, February 04, 2012
	Rather than getting into it with somebody over their insufficiencies or lack of [your complaint here]: Try for the old light touch and an appearance of flexibility, even if you are feeling anything but. In this climate the more nitpicky and precise your critique, the less likely it will be to motivate them to do it differently.
	Libra Saturday, February 04, 2012
	Welcome to the "cultivate a positive attitude" portion of the program. The sooner that you wrangle yourself out of "but it might never" and into "why not try?" mode, the sooner you can get your project, romance, situation or proposal off the ground - or at least get your situation, dilemma, issue or predicament sorted out.
	Scorpio Saturday, February 04, 2012
	If your intention is to be part of the solution, it would help to demonstrate flexibility rather than rigidity. Although you're not duty-bound to agree with somebody - or the way they did the things they did - finding out their reasons behind their actions may make it harder to justify a black and white, zero-tolerance stance.
	Sagittarius Saturday, February 04, 2012
	Are you sure that you want to say that, and are you sure that you want to say it that way? Consider this, even if your first response when reading this is to snap "Of course I'm sure, you idiot!" Why? Because figuring out how to unsay that which probably should have been left unsaid is reeeeeally hard work.
	Capricorn Saturday, February 04, 2012
	Despite your desire to move things along at a "more acceptable" pace: The cosmic joker has the situation well in hand, evidence of which would be abundantly clear if you could free yourself up to view things from a slightly different angle. So do your "good things come to those who wait" chant, and expect corroborating evidence shortly.
	Aquarius Saturday, February 04, 2012
	Even if it means a little extra time, energy, or mental exercise, you're encouraged to apply the wide angle lens to an as-yet-unresolved situation or arrangement. There is a distinct possibility that you will discover extenuating circumstances, or an explanation for another's conduct, reaction, or logic that you wouldn't ordinarily happen upon.
	Pisces Saturday, February 04, 2012
	If you genuinely don't feel that waiting to express yourself is within the realm of possibility, maybe you can tailor your presentation so that it isn't quite so jarring or impulsive. You'll need some wiggle room in the event that, in the not- too-distant future, you exercise your prerogative to change your mind.
