Horoscopes: Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Overwhelming moments are a normal part of a busy life — a message to slow down. You don’t have to do everything at once, and you don’t have to be perfect. You can keep going, one little thing at a time. That’s enough.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You deserve a love that is warm and fun — a love that matches the care you bring. Treat yourself with the kindness you crave from others. You’ll sharpen your boundaries and align with a love that matches your tenderness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s OK if some piece of past pain lingers. It’s a sign of your depth. Bad feelings will fade, making room for better connections. You’re building a world where people get you and show up for you, just as you deserve.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Certainty is overrated. A mind filled with certainty about how the world works cannot readily absorb how things might, could or will work. You’re open to the possibility that reality is often something other than our experience of it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Losses have a way of developing character, whereas wins can be harder to navigate with grace. But you’re certainly more than capable of staying grounded if you maintain self-awareness. Whichever way it goes, you’ll find gold in it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll go to great lengths to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. You might sidestep delicate topics, leave out certain details or carefully choose the timing of your words. You’ll have success maintaining the harmony.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Applause is a kind of gift, a way to show appreciation and encouragement that lifts others up. You’ll be a generous giver in this regard, investing your energy to cheer for the people you love and celebrate their efforts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the middle of an interaction, pause to ask yourself, “Am I responding because of my feelings, or because of the other person’s expectations?” It benefits you to distinguish between authentic reactions and those shaped by the dynamic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not looking to inconvenience anyone, but you should also take this into consideration: Sometimes being inconvenienced is the highlight of a person’s day. Who are you to deprive them of having a little problem to solve?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People like what they can be involved in. You may start out alone, but don’t finish it all by yourself, too. What you’re working on is an opportunity to create more than the project. It’s about creating a network, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve been constant, true and strong, even when faced with someone who couldn’t match you in those ways. That says so much about the kind of person you are. Love that’s reciprocal, kind and steady is coming your way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You keep reminding yourself of the good you have, the good you’ve created and the good you’re capable of building. The life you’re envisioning is already within your reach. Piece by piece, you’re building it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 18). You’ll go soaring into the year with moments that lift you high above your life, offering a bird’s-eye view of possibilities you didn’t know were there. A major project will hone your talents. Seize advancement opportunities. More highlights: A revelation opens your heart and improves your personal life; new communication styles; and an investment in three adventurous events. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 19, 10, 3 and 30.
