FORECAST FOR SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2008

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your efforts seem to get stalemated no matter how well thought out they are. Refuse to get upset. Go off and do something you enjoy to the max. You don't always have to be out and about. Check in with an older relative. Tonight: Only do what you must.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The best intentions could fall to the wayside. A friend or loved one might want to treat you to a very special happening. Don't allow frustration to mount. No one can always control every situation and every person. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others have "great expectations," which you might fear you cannot meet. Let go and relax. Travel, long-distance communication and an unexpected sharing play roles in what is going on. Tonight: Try to call it an early night.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to others, knowing what you want. You might be instrumental in melting down someone's cold exterior. Still, you will need a lot of patience. Watch how another person expresses his or her feelings. Tonight: Movie time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Predictability is not a commodity that you will easily come by right now. Know that the only stability that exists is perpetual change. Be more forthright about your feelings with a loved one, especially if this person is a roommate. Tonight: Say yes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be irritated by what is happening with a friend or loved one. Remember, each person chooses his or her own fate, and this person could change what is going on. Step away, though remain nurturing. Tonight: Don't let anyone pressure you. Say no.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Easy does it. You might feel as if you have pushed and pushed. Exhaustion earmarks your decisions and reactions. Slow down and start taking better care of yourself. Others will appreciate you more if you do! Tonight: Ask, and you will receive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to feedback. Use your imagination, perhaps to make logic of what does not make sense. Your creativity emerges when dealing with others, but also even when relaxing, like just seeing a movie. Enjoy. Tonight: Follow your instincts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Clearly you cannot change others, but you can adapt and change your mood and perspective. How you deal with someone could change considerably with a touch more insight and detachment. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have the right words and mannerisms to soothe others' frayed nerves. Your popularity could explode as a result. If you think a problem needs to be dealt with directly, do just that. Know that results could be different from what you expect. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Sometimes you don't have the control you desire. You might be pressured beyond what you can tolerate. If you are pushed, you will come up with a great idea to make peace or work through an issue. Tonight: Remember, there is a tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others look to you, and indeed a friend might be gooey-eyed when thinking of or speaking to you. Use care, knowing what you want from this person. You don't want to hurt him or her either. Your sensitivity now could be more important than you realize. Tonight: Chat up a storm.
