HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 25). This could be a really fabulous year for you. You should count your blessings in March, and your good deeds, too. In April, your work brings great bounty. You're very lucky in love in July, and career goals look attainable in August. A romantic vacation in November is appropriate, and by December, you could make improvements to your home. Friends help you increase your income even more around late January or February.
Aries: Today is a 5
You've got a grand trine in water signs, which brings out your gentle, nurturing light. It seems as if every-body's being really wimpy. A little of that goes a really long way with you, but today, try to be nice. It'll be good for you.
Taurus: Today is an 8
Some things you tried yesterday that didn't work will go smoothly now. You didn't really waste that time. Isn't it strange the way that happens? Well, no point in wondering about why. Just go ahead and push while you've got the advantage.
Gemini: Today is a 5
You might get a raise today. You've probably already done the work to establish yourself as an expert in the field. Now, all you need to do is let other people know that you want to be rewarded. You might even get a standing ovation for tooting your own horn.
Cancer: Today is a 9
Yesterday was a struggle, but today should go smoothly. Looks like you've set things up to take advantage of an opportunity. You not only have the talent necessary, but you also have friends in high places. One in particular is going to give you a boost that could push you over the top.
Leo: Today is a 5
Looks as if quite a bit of money could be riding on how you handle a tough situation. Politeness is almost worth more than accuracy right now. The positive impression you make now could benefit you in more ways than you can imagine.
Virgo: Today is a 9
Libra: Today is a 5
You hardly ever play hooky, but today the temptation is great. Conditions are perfect for playing, and a new game is suggested. You could turn out to be a natural at something you've never done before.
Scorpio: Today is a 10
This is a good day to advance in your career, and if you're going to do it, be nice. Being pleasant will get you more points than just about anything else. This can't be phony niceness, either. It's got to be genuine.
Saaittarius: Today is a 6
Today your bread will land buttered side up. You'll find a parking spot right in front of the store, and the cop behind you on the freeway is actually after the guy in front of you. Think of something magnificent you want to achieve, and make a start on it.
Capricorn: Today is a 9
Money is not a topic you like to have your head full of, but every once in a while you have to think about it. You have skills that are definitely marketable. There's an opportunity out there; all you have to do is find it.
Today's focus is on the areas of partnership, friendship and education. Your relationships can help you do your job better. Somebody out there would really like to play with you, and it would make your life easier to let that happen.
Aquarius: Today is a 5
You could get more money for the work you do, especially if you put together a good case. You'll have to prove to the boss that you're generating income and you require a larger percentage. The celestial influences are in your favor.
Pisces: Today is a 10
This is one of your best days all year. You've got luck in love, travel and self-esteem. You're looking good, feeling great, saying the right thing at the right time, doing everything perfectly. You're wise, generous, warm, loving, considerate, thoughtful. You know what else? You're appreciated. Bask in it.

Royals first baseman considers new contract
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
HAINES CITY, Fla. — The Royals youth movement could mean first baseman Jeff King's no-trade contract with Kansas City could change into a yes-trade contract this spring.
"It would have to be the right situation," King said Tuesday at the Royals' training camp. "There are a handful of teams I'd consider going to, and it seems like those teams are set at first base."
The Royals are busy trying to purge the roster of veteran players with high-dollar contracts as the emphasis continues on rebuilding through low-dollar younger players.
"That would be a factor, for sure," King said. "Why get traded to another team that you estimate is not going to be any better or any worse?"
Pitcher Kevin Appier expressed eagerness Monday to be traded to a contending club.
"I won't say anything is set in stone, but this might be my last year," he said.
King is also considering retirement after this season.
Last year, King, 34, hit 24 home runs and had 93 RBIs in his second season for the Royals as a sore back

King was obtained by the Royals from the Pittsburgh Pirates with Jay Bell before the 1997 season.
Braves and the Boston Red Sox are two likely contenders.
During his first Royals season, King signed a two-year contract through 1999 at $4 million a year.
Lakers' coach fired as team falls in polls
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Los Angeles Lakers, mired at .500 12 games through the abbreviated NBA season, fired coach Del Harris yesterday.
Jerry West, the team's vice president of basketball operations, said that one of two assistants — Kurt Rambis or Larry Drew — would handle the coaching duties for the remainder of the season.

Ruben Patterson on the Lakers' roster. Patterson was placed on the injured list because of tendinitis in his right knee.
"Particularly for me, the thing that makes it so awkward is that Del has been a friend for many years," West said. "The direction of a team is very important. We do feel like we have the talent here.
"We just felt like there was a deterioration. I talked Jerry Buss this morning and we just felt like the time was right now," he said referring to the Lakers' owner.
The Lakers lost three games in three days in three different cities.
The were beaten 92-89 Sunday at Seattle; 117-113 in overtime Monday night at Denver, and 93-83 at Tuesday night at Vancouver.
family that owns Cablevision, has offered $65 million to buy Marge Schott's controlling interest in the Cincinnati Reds, as reported yesterday by The Cincinnati Enquirer.
The newspaper, citing unidentified sources, said Dolan's group made the offer for 5 1/2 of Schott's 6 1/2 shares, or about one-third of the club. Dolan's group has executed a purchase agreement with Schott, the newspaper reported, citing the unidentified sources.
The National League is aware of the proposed deal, spokeswoman Katy Feeney said yesterday in New York. The league will not take action until limited owners of the Reds first decide whether to exercise their right to match the Dolan group's offer, Feeney said.
Dolan has attempted to buy other sports franchises, including the NFL expansion Cleveland Browns, Washington Redskins and New York Yankees. The 68-year-old lawyer is the brother of Charles Dolan, chairman of Cablevision Systems Corp., a major cable television provider and the owner of Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.
Group makes offer for control of Reds
CINCINNATI — A group headed by Larry Dolan, a member of the
Major league baseball has barred Schott from day-to-day involvement in the management of the Reds because of comments deemed insensitive to minorities and women.
Schott is the Reds' managing partner under an agreement with several limited partners. However, that agreement expires Dec. 31, 2000.
She is not permitted to discuss a possible sale, but previous accounts said she was asking $78 million for 51/2 shares with the hope of keeping one share and maintaining at least a ceremonial role with the team.
