Horoscope: Feb. 24

Aries (March 21-April 19): When you feel pressured, you act out of fear. That’s why you should stamp out your own impatience because it will lead only to regret.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): It will benefit you to keep communication short and to the point. You will be heard, understood and respected.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Even when you think people understand what you are saying, it’s important to ask for clarification.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): There is a positive purpose behind your communication and behavior, though someone you are close to might not understand what it is.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You value honesty and don’t see the need to sugarcoat your response to the world. Try to be gentle, though.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know the result you want to get from each and every interaction. This makes you purposeful in all of your dealings.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are willing to make an effort for a special relationship. You are even willing to change in some small way in order for things to work well.
