Your horoscope from February 11 to 17, 2016

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      The Aries moon makes for an early start and fast pace Friday. By evening, the stars hit an “I want it—I deserve it” instant-gratification mood.

      Setting up a perfect backdrop for Valentine’s Day, the moon slips into smooth-rolling and sensual Taurus for the weekend. Relaxation is on the docket, but the energy stays frisky and upbeat, thanks to Saturday’s Mars/Jupiter, a game-for-it combination. Enjoy sports, get out and about, and check out the local action. Let the conversation, impulse, fun, or flirtatious mood overtake you. Mars/Jupiter is also sharply on the ball when it comes to spotting and/or sealing the deal.

      Has life been a tough and slow grind over the past couple of months? That’s about to change. As of Saturday, Mercury will exit Capricorn and start to pick up better speed. By next Tuesday, Venus will also advance into Aquarius. We’ll see trends, talk, politics, and social action perk up. Both planetary transits are good for a fresh infusion of ideas, products on the market, and financial opportunity. Both are also timely for lifestyle upgrades and for introducing yourself to new interests and new people.

      There’s no need to wait until Sunday to play up the romance. Saturday night will do quite nicely. Keeping it interesting for lovers, Sunday’s stars dish up a mix of sweet and spicy.
