You are sure to find yourself involved again and again with projects and endeavors in which the difficulties outweigh all else, but your ability to deal with those aspects of your daily life allows you to be positive when others would simply succumb to negativity.

Longevity is the key to your success and your happiness -- and both are likely the result, again and again, of long-term commitments and not one-and-done activities. You are something of a sucker for any kind of commitment -- the sort of principles, ideas and activities to which people dedicate their lives.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The more daring you are today, the more likely you will be to reduce the everyday dangers you face. This seeming paradox deserves study.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- How you make people feel when you walk into the room will change throughout the day depending on how you feel and what you are thinking, too.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have decided that speaking is overrated, but does that mean you’ll do more listening? You can afford to give it a try today, surely.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can afford to be even more generous with those you are used to serving -- for in the process, you’re likely to give yourself a gift.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can put to use again something you thought was hopelessly outdated and had set aside. This begins a new phase of clever creativity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’re eager to do something that catches attention today, but take care that you don’t go public too soon. Make sure all is in order.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not know which to choose today -- solitude or the social scene. Let things take their course, and respond honestly to developments.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You’re eager for camaraderie, but it may be more difficult than usual today to determine which group is right for you just now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can approach a practical problem in a more philosophical way today and come up with a solution no one could have imagined.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Difficulties are better off addressed by type today, not one at a time. By broadening your thinking, you can also tailor more specific actions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may discover that the best course of action today is one that goes against your instincts -- which are in flux right now anyway.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may think that change will be easier to affect today than usual, but this is not likely the case, because of a recent decision of your own.
