By Linda C. Black Tribune Media Services Today’s Birthday (Feb. 27). Friends are a constant source of support and inspiration this year. At least one friend may even inspire you to try something radically different. Give up a dream, and a fear or two, for an improvement you’d never get otherwise. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) _ Today is a 7 _ The more you learn, the more appears possible _ and, of course, the more possibilities appear. Keep studying! Taurus (April 20-May 20) _ Today is a 7 _ Don’t spend all day dreaming about somebody you love. Fuss over someone you respect and admire, too. Gemini (May 21-June 21) _ Today is a 6 _ Later in the day should be easier, and tomorrow is a lot more fun. Finish up loose odds and ends so that you’ll have more time to play then. Cancer (June 22-July 22) _ Today is an 8 _ You can’t live on love alone, although it would sure be nice if you could. By pooling your resources and your talents, that won’t be necessary. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is a 5 _ The hardest part is almost over. Don’t give up. Not only will it get easier, but there’ll soon be more helpers. You’ve just about toughed it out. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is an 8 _ Fit in another date around noon, before the workload gets too hectic. Don’t schedule one for tomorrow, though. Instead, pack a lunch tonight. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is a 6 _ A kitchen-table business could do very well and bring you hours of enjoyment. It’s also a great source of gifts for family and friends _ gifts that won’t cost a fortune. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today is an 8 _ The more you learn, the more valuable you become. That’s very evident now. And if you love what you’re studying, perfect! Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _ Today is a 5 _ After you commit to a really big goal, there’s often a moment of doubt. Can you do it? Maybe not, but it’ll be fun to try. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _ Today is an 8 _ You do think a lot about others. This time, consider yourself. Which of your options will you enjoy best? It’s OK to do this. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today is a 5 _ An inner satisfaction may be your best reward. The money appears to be coming, too, but that won’t last nearly as long. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today is a 7 _ It’s time to count your blessings and also list the things that worked. You’ll soon review your plans again, and knowing what works will help. ___ ‘copy 2003, TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES INC. Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Services.
