Seek out facts and information. Misunderstandings occur out of the blue. Refuse to take anything personally. Know when to put a halt to messy situations. See yourself as a troubleshooter. HOROSCOPES TAURUS (April 20-May 20) **★* Your support systems touch you on a deep level, encourage greater involvement in your work and community. Nevertheless, you could misunderstand someone and misinterpret what is important to him or her. Micheal Peng/KANSAN GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **** Many people have a distinctive style and way -- you included. Sometimes your unique style might drive others away. Others will make the effort to reverse their processing and understand where you are coming from. LANCER (June 21-July 22) *** Easy does it. You like what is going on because of your ability to relate on a deeper level. Listen well to someone who cares about you. Encourage new ideas by changing your setting. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2006 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ***** Listen to what a child or loved one presents, even though it might be hard not to get confused or you don't want to hear every detail. Perhaps you see others very differently than they are. Is it time to revise your thinking? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ****You might be like, as one might say, a cat chasing its tail. You have what it takes and will do whatever you need to do to get there, but perhaps today is not the best day to pursue this course. New beginnings are possible, but not at this very second. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ***** You say what you want and do what you need to do, though the support you might like will not be there. Listen well, and you'll come up with new ideas and suggestions. Brainstorming sessions might be confusing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ***** Your ability to jump through hoops could come into play right now. You could easily run into a problem because others simply aren't getting it. Stay centered, knowing what your priorities are. Obviously, not everyone sees life from your point of view. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ******* You're thick into your "stuff" knowing what it is you want to do. You could get flak from a family member. Though you certainly are on a roll, you need to be sensitive to where there might be some disruption. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** How you handle a personal matter and what you do with information needs to be well thought out. Put on your thinking cap today, but be ready to take action tomorrow. Not everything you hear is factual. AUDIARIS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ****** You zero in on what you want. Finding the right answers happens through confusion, brainstorming and listening to other opinions. Though every detail might not be precise, you do have a game plan. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Take a step toward what you want. Listen well to what is going on with a boss or parent. You could easily misconstruse others' words. Be a better listener. You have your own mental filter turned on.
