Monday, February 18
This is a transition day when it is hard to get much done as communicator Mercury ends its retrograde phase. It may take a few days to untangle misunderstandings and to tie up loose ends, but we are ready to move forward again, having fought against a cosmic undertow since last November. Additionally, the Moon enters lively Leo at 1:51 pm EST, enabling us to express our needs, which we may have been keeping quietly to ourselves for the last few days.
Aries
You might feel more optimistic, but nothing necessarily happens now to support your belief that things are getting better. Nevertheless, your positive attitude can be exactly the catalyst that you need to shift your life into the next gear. Don't be afraid to plan for the future; you'll be there sooner than you think.
Taurus
You could spend much of this week solving problems that developed over the last couple of weeks. Your frustration begins to dissipate as your efforts quickly reap the desired results, yet things at work could improve even without much attention on your part. Taking the easy way out may be tempting, but your active participation can make the difference between failure and success.
Gemini
It may have taken longer than you expected to get this far along with your current plans. Actually, you may be annoyed or even angry at someone who has been in your way, but now they appear to change their behavior and help, rather than hinder, your progress. Holding a grudge is not advised; just accept the energetic shift as a sign that you're on the right track.
Cancer
Although you might feel as if you don't have much time to deal with an ongoing emotional concern, circumstances begin to shift this afternoon, making you realize that you have more time than you thought. Still, it's not a good idea to be lazy; if you have something to say -- even if it might prompt an uncomfortable discussion -- go ahead and speak your piece. Sooner is better than never.
Leo
You've been waiting for something to happen for too long. Maybe you have gone through a variety of tactics to push circumstances beyond the status quo, but to no avail. Now, the winds of change are blowing up a storm, enabling you to fill your sails with powerful momentum. Don't wait; ride this one with all you have.
Virgo
You can get a strong boost as your key planet Mercury turns direct, but there's really no need to overreact about anything. Accordingly, your most significant statement now might be one of understatement. What you know could be important enough to shout from the top of a mountain, but grandiose statements are not your best method of sharing the news. Staying focused on the details allows you to effectively make your case.
Libra
You can see the potential in things that other folks miss -- and you can use this now to your advantage. But keep in mind that it's your creativity that allows you to find these magical possibilities, for you aren't afraid to jump in and be a part of the manifestation. Don't try to do everything all at once. Take your time and work with what you have, slowly turning your vision into reality.
Scorpio
It's time for you to receive the credit that's due you for the work that you do. But this may not be about your regular duties at home or on the job; this is more about what you bring to the world by who you are when you show up. It may be hard for others to put this into words, yet you'll know you are appreciated by how people act in your presence.
Sagittarius
If you have been challenged as you try to manage your time, things should start to improve now that Mercury is no longer retrograde in your 3rd House of Communications. It's a good idea to spend some time laying out your schedule for the coming weeks while the heavenly messenger is working on your behalf, as he is these days. Make the necessary commitment today; don't wait to see what might happen later on.
Capricorn
Your current dilemma might stem from not knowing how much to tell others at this time. You could be excited about a new project, plan or relationship, yet don't want to say too much until you are more certain that everything is really moving as you think. Instead of waiting, share your enthusiasm, along with your concerns. The feedback you receive can help you gain clarity.
Aquarius
Although you may begin the day in a rather quiet frame of mind, someone comes along to coax you out of your seclusion. You may have believed that you'd just go through the day doing your work and minding your own business, but there are different activities in store for you. Don't resist an exciting invitation because you have too much work to do. You can always tie up loose ends later.
Pisces
You are standing at the very edge of an opening and you will get to walk through this window of opportunity over the next few days. In the meantime, make the most of where you are by paying close attention to what's happening. Watching how others respond to you is one way, but don't forget to also tune into your own inner process. If it happens in your imagination, it can also happen in your real life.

Lyric for the Day
I Caught Fire
- The Used
Seem to stop my breath
My head on your chest
Waiting to cave in
From the bottom of my...
Hear your voice again
Could we dim the sun
And wonder where we've been
Maybe you and me
So kiss me like you did
My heart has stopped beating
Such a softer sin
(chorus)
(I'm melting, I'm melting)
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Now
(verse 2)
Never caught my breath
Every second I'm without you I'm a mess
Ever know each other
Trust these words are stones
My cuts are healing
Learning how to love
I'm melting (I'm melting)
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
(chorus)
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me...
(Stay with me lay with me now)
BRIDGE
You could stay and watch me fall
And of course I'd ask for help
Just stay with me now
We could take our heads off, stay in bed
Just make love, that's all
Just stay with me now
(chorus)
I'm melting (I'm melting)
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
and I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while
and I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me lay with me
(Stay with me, lay with me)
In your eyes
Lets sleep till the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes (I'm melting in your eyes)
Lets sleep till the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes

Joke for the Day
Dolly Parton and Queen Elizabeth die on the same day and they both go before an Angel to find out if they'll be admitted to Heaven.
Unfortunately, there's only one space left that day, so the Angel must decide which of them gets in. The Angel asks Dolly if there's some particular reason why she should go to Heaven.
Dolly takes off her top and says, "Look at these, they're the most perfect breasts God ever created, and I'm sure sure it will please the angels to be able to see them every day, for eternity."
The Angel thanks Dolly, and asks Her Majesty the same question.
The Queen takes a bottle of Perrier out of her purse, shakes it up, and gargles. Then, she spits into a toilet and pulls the lever.
The Angel says, "OK, your Majesty, you may go in."
Dolly is outraged and asks, "What was that all about? I show you two of God's own perfect creations and you turn me down. She spits into a commode and she gets in! Would you explain that to me?"
"Sorry, Dolly," says the Angel, "but even in Heaven, a royal flush beats a pair - no matter how big they are!"
