Hurry up, Aries! Your big birthday approaches, leaving you with a long to do list of "coulda, woulda, shoulda's." Luckily, energy is high this month giving you the extra boost you need to succeed. Check your moods. Just because it's your party doesn't mean you can be snippy without consequences.

Attack, Taurus! You've been battling your goals for a long time. Now is the time to bring it on. Quit making excuses, and charge ahead. You'll pull other along for the ride if you commit, leaving you all in a better spot than before.

Amuse yourself, Gemini. Feeling stuck in a creative slump? Go out an explore. The stars are pulling you in artistic directions this month. Follow where they lead you and you'll find unexpected joys. Careful! Keep things quiet until the time is right.

Get moving, Cancer! You've spent enough important thinking time in Lalaland. Spring is the time to spring into action. That supercrush isn't going to seduce himself. Show the world what you've got. You're ready.

Look at you, Leo! You are on the prowl this month and turning heads all over town. If you're going to walk, you may as well strut this month. Boosts of mid-month confidence leave you feeling large, in charge, and downright sassy.

Use your head, Virgo. Call upon your signature practicality. You'll need it this month. Drowning in a sea of ridiculousness? Only you will have the answers. State them calmly and loudly and people will follow you out of any mess.

Break free, Libra! Tired of being a two-some? Is the love of your life taking over your life. Don't rush into anything crazy, but find new ways to increase your independence this month. You'll get much more accomplished flying solo. An end of the month burst of sexual energy rewards your partner for being patient this month.

Try it, Scorpio.! The planets encourage you to experiement this month as your curiosity is at its peak. Now is the perfect time to try that crazy thing you never dared before. Be bold and stop over-thinking and you'll learn a valuable lesson or two and have some great stories to share.

Rewind, Sagittarius. So that big idea blew up in your face? Mr. Right turned out to be Mr. Wrong? You're due for a new beginning. Start with a clean slate and move ahead. Look for the silver lining and you may discover something, or someone, you had forgotten about. Pleasant surprises abound this month if you know where to look.

Get over it, Capricorn. Let it go. You've been fighting a losing battle for a while now. Wave your flag of defeat and move on. A mid-month boost of energy helps you find a much happier and healthier path, and possibly a new romance or two. Keep your eyes open and focuses on the future.

Simmer down, Aquarius. For a water sign, you certainly are firey this month. Watch out for your own temper or it will burn you (and those you love this month.) Channel all that extra sass into something more constructive like writing. Spending more time with a calm loved one will cool your moods and warm your heart.

Say please, Pisces. This is a month full of opportunity, but you will need others' help to get it. Be sure to show off your most gracious self this month. A little manners go a long way toward getting what you want. Kill them with kindness and they will reward you in more ways than one.

Dear Felicia February 2010

Dear Felicia,

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I again find myself single and it's starting to make me feel depressed. I'm not a co-dependant person, but it's been a few years since my last long-term relationship and the random hook up thing has grown boring. I guess I am trying to figure out ways to meet new guys and actually form a solid relationship. I can tend to be shy and quiet around new people. So where do I go, what do I do and how can I land a new guy?

Seriously Single

Dear Seriously Single,

I think the first thing you need to do is identify what type of relationship you're looking for. ?I know it can be frustrating trying to meet people, but if the same old bars aren't working for you, try something new.
There are plenty of dating sites out there, like OKCupid. ? Here's a great idea – come to the Mint Male/OKCupid Singles Mixer February 15th from 7pm to 10pm at Mini Bar and try to meet your dream man!
Upon meeting your dream man, it's important to feel comfortable in your skin. ?If you're shy or get nervous around new people, have 10 questions prepared in your head that you could easily ask or answer. ?Just be yourself. ?And depending on what type of relationship you are looking for, don't forget to bring a condom.
Best of Luck in Life and Love,
Felicia

Homoscopes

Be nice,Aries! Although the clash of idealistic Jupiter and practical Saturn leave you feeling downtrodden, steer clear of the traps of negativity and quick fixes. Your goals may seem out of reach, but keep on truckin'. Old emotional baggage? Get over it! You wouldn't keep an old ratty sweater, why are you holding on to that out-dated relationship?

Welcome back,Taurus! With the clouds of bad habits passing, you begin to feel like your old self. Get in touch with your strengths and work it! Toward the end of the month, caring Neptune directs your attention away from yourself. Do for others and your generosity will come back to you in ways you don't expect.

Really,Gemini! Futuristic Aquarius is forcing you to think about your goals. Are they pipe-dreams or realistic achievements? Frustrations run high as you sort your issues out, but fight the temptation to be a mega-bitch. As a reward for handling things gracefully, new relationships flourish outside your immediate social circle.

Open up,?Cancer! Channel the Madonna within and "open your heart!" Although it seems like you're surrounded by frigid, nasty people, opening yourself up to the possibility of new connections will bond you with people on a deeper plane. Emotions can be messy, so be sure to keep on your toes to avoid sticky situations.

Think about it,?Leo! Although the planets are pulling you a dreamy fuzzy direction, you're smarter than that. Use your head to separate reality from the "too good to be trues" – both in the bedroom and at work. Rather than getting touchy, get fierce. Fight fire with fire and you'll come out on top.

Team up,Virgo! Although you are hoping for an increase in sexy-time, Venus in Pisces opens open your 7th House of Partnerships. Now is the time to work on relationships that go beyond between the sheets. Look past minor flaws and connect with the whole person. Forgiveness is key this month. Dirty laundry can always be cleaned.

Sparkle on,Libra! Your love-crazy ruling planet Venus shines a spotlight on you this month. You're especially vibrant this month (or at least you're faking it well), so use all that pizazz to your best advantage; up your social time and let your fantasies run wild. Be prepared, however, for a "Cinderella after the ball" experience late this month.

Brace yourself,Scorpio! Your famously volatile emotions are running rampant this month. Highs are really high and lows are of the "stay in bed with tissues and ice cream" variety. Although your manic antics may leave you feeling isolate, focus healing your old wounds. Pleasant surprises abound at month's end to reward you for getting through the mess.

Get lucky,Sagittarius! The alignment of Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto showers you with good news and positive changes this month. Your hard work has begun to pay off. Quit replaying old disappointments and focus on new beginnings especially in the workplace.? And keep private matters private; publicizing your love life will only cheapen the thrill.

Change it up,Capricorn! In order to keep from running into walls, you need to change your familiar course. Repeating the same actions reap the same results – and you're finding you're no longer satisfied. Although an oppressive authority figure is eager to cramp your style, persist and use your words to sail on by.

Shake it off,Aquarius! Although you feel stuck under a rainy cloud, Chiron the Healer and Neptune the Dreamer join this month to remind you of the bright side of life. Get out of bed, put on a happy face, and quit bitching. A late February boost of energy is the perfect time to plant romantic and occupational seeds that are likely to bloom big-time.

Enjoy yourself,Pisces! You're much more attractive when you let yourself have a little fun. Pamper yourself and you'll be more attractive than ever. Before you get too diva about it, however, remember the bigger picture. Focus on gratitude this month and what you appreciate will expand. The Sun in your sign showers you joys best when shared.

Homoscopes

Scorpio
Strike a pose, Scorpio! The spotlight is on you, and you better work! Use the resistance of others as fuel for your determined fire.? Your lover may seem to be standing in your way but trust they have good intentions and keep on going. Show the world your style ? it will eat it up.

Aries
Shake it off, Aries! Now is the time to rid yourself of that clunky emotional baggage you've been towing for weeks. Focus on toning up your body and your mind ? find a special spotting partner if you need a little extra motivation.

Taurus
Flaunt it, Taurus! Others are beginning to notice you, especially in the business realm.? Although roadblocks are likely toward the end of the month, use your natural charm to smooth the way. Allow a new partnership to spice things up both at and after work.

Gemini
Work it, Gemini! Everything you've wanted is falling into place ? although it feels like it's falling on your head. Resist the urge to flee and roll up your ever-fashionable sleeves.? Beware of distractions (like lovers or the lack thereof) that may stand in the way of your progress.

Cancer
Live it up, Cancer! This month is all about play (interpret however you like.) Romantic feelings are running high, but you're also perfectly willing to fly fiercely solo. Keep your wits about you, though. A friend will need a shoulder to cry in a few weeks, and you're just vivacious enough to brighten their day.

Leo
Mix it up, Leo! Although things aren't wrong right now, they aren't right enough either. Luckily, you're feeling especially assertive. Now is the time to shake up old boring work habits and add a little sass to your love life. Others will thank you for it.

Virgo
Reach out, Virgo! You're surrounded by warmth and general lovey-dovey-ness at home and now it's the time to give it back. Get out there, and touch someone!? Put all those ambitious goals on the back burner for now and focus on making new friends. Your new network may prove beneficial in the future.

Libra
Own up, Libra! You've made your bed and now you have to lie in it (with whomever and whatever you've chosen.) Although social time seems the most important, now is the time to take better care of yourself.? Work tensions relax this month, giving you the opportunity to take a deep breath and re-assess.

Sagittarius
Shhh, Sagittarius. November is all about private time. Although your confidence is intact, now is the perfect time to step back and reflect. The absence of outside attention amps up passion with your partner. Single? You'll emerge from this cocoon of secrecy magnetically mysterious.

Capricorn
Make it work, Capricorn! External pressures are easing up this month, leaving you free to make major strides forward. Network, network, network! Project yourself as someone people simply must know and financial success will find you.

Aquarius
Bring it on, Aquarius! This month is full of new opportunities in the business realm. Think it out, and if it feels good, say yes. Work partnerships will reap surprising social benefits. Everyone is watching you ? just be sure not to get caught up in your own hype.

Pisces
Thing big, Pisces! Your confidence is building, which is perfectly timed. Your work life is busy to the max and shows no signs of slowing. Rise to the challenge and you'll be rewarded with the increase in status you desire. Don't forget to focus ? if you think too big you'll get lost in the shuffle.

Dear Felicia

Dear Felicia,

I have been with my boyfriend for a little over 3 months. ?For the most part our relationship is great, but on occasion things get a little sour. ?He has not only broken up with me, but broken my nose as well as many of my belongings. ?After one particularly bad incident, it looked like a tornado had swept through my apartment. ?Lately, he seems to have gotten his temper under control and we haven't had any incidents near as bad as him breaking my nose, but I can't help but wonder with all the time and effort I'm putting into this relationship, after only 3 months, is it really worth it?
~ Broken Hearted

Dear Broken Hearted,

I must say I find the level of violence so high in a relationship so new quite unnerving.? After 3 months, I'm not sure what kind of dispute results in the type of destruction that you've described.? I will always push safety, and it doesn't sound to me like this is the type of person who is concerned with yours.? Anytime physical violence is involved, I will warn you to err on the side of caution.? If he's broken your nose in the first couple of months, imagine what could happen in a year or two over a much more serious incident.? You need to put your health and safety first.

Just because this has happened once does not necessarily mean it will happen again, but there's no guarantee on that.? I know anger management classes sound a bit cliche, but you have to remember, HE BROKE PART OF YOUR FACE.? If you're going to stay with him, I don't think asking for something along the lines of an anger management class or some form of therapy is irrational.? I personally wouldn't stay with anyone that physically abused me, but as with anything in life, I cannot set your moral boundaries for you.? That being said, I cannot tell you whether or not this relationship is worth it.? I will, however, tell you to stay on your toes and consider the things you've already gone through as well as how your relationship currently makes you feel when making that decision yourself.

~ Felicia

Horoscopes January 2010

Capricorn Horoscope (December 21 ? January 19) Strut your stuff, Capricorn! While others partied hard, you kept working it all out. Now it's time for the pay-off. Pluto entering your sign this month ushers in a comeback Whitney Houston would envy. Work it! Everybody is watching and they will like what they see. Watch your spending, however. It's hard to be the life of the party when you're broke.

Aquarius Horoscopes (January 20 ? February 17) Hush up, Aquarius. Venus and Mercury are working together to clear your head and connect you to your intuition. Quiet the bitch within and get back in touch with what's truly important. Your new-found clarity will benefit you greatly when a long-time feud resolves itself with the New Moon on the 25th.

Pisces Horoscope (February 18 ? March 20) Reach out, Pisces. You're at your best when you're giving back, and now is the perfect time. Resolve to commit to others in ways you currently do not. Want to take it to the next level with your boo? Take a leap of faith. Soul searching? Volunteer. Seek out new connections of all kinds and you'll be rewarded with a solid social circle to be proud of.

Aries Horoscopes (March 21 ? April 20) Have hope, Aries! Although the past few months have been rough on your ego (and possibly your reputation), the New Year is filled with opportunities for you to succeed. The power of positivity helps you sail past the opposition and occasional bump in the road. Keep your wits about you and the success will spread to your personal life as well.

Taurus Horoscope (April 21 ? May 20) Run and hide, Taurus! Although you aren't in any physical danger, the path you're currently on is leading to a clash of your personal and public life. Step out of the spotlight and focus on yourself. The New Year is a perfect time to work on long term goals: learn French, save up for something big, or get back into shape. Do something that matters and you'll impress someone who matters to you.

Gemini Horoscopes (May 21 ? June 20) Take the plunge, Gemini. Insecurities have left you feeling shaky but a little trust goes a long way. Harness your inner fierceness and take a leap of faith. Financial matters and new relationships will benefit from a boost of confidence. You'll come out ahead (and others will follow your lead) if you stop making excuses and just do it.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 ? July 22) Take a walk on the wild side, Cancer. Dramatic Mercury rules your communication this month making everything a little more exotic. Allow yourself to party a little harder this month (you've earned it) and you'll find unexpected benefits in your professional life. Watch your mouth, though. You can be the life of the party without all that nasty gossip.

Leo Horoscopes (July 22 ? August 22) Start fresh, Leo. Positive energy in the air aids financial and business issues. Let it extend into your home life and you'll enjoy some much-needed peace. Clear your mind of negative thought patterns and get real. You wouldn't keep old worn out shoes – why are you holding on to relationships and habits you've outgrown?

Virgo Horoscope (August 23 ? September 22) Keep your cool, Virgo. Though co-workers and acquaintances are tap-dancing on your last nerve, you'll need to remain calm to conquer. Let out your frustrations through a new hobby (or a long-neglected one.) Energies are high this month, use them to your advantage. Soothe relationships by using your head. Bitchiness is energizing, but toxic in the end.

Libra Horoscope (September 23 ? October 22) Unplug, Libra. Although you love being up to date, your constant need to be "in the know" is wearing you down. Your dependence on technology is ruling your life. Stop tweeting and start living. Creative energies are high this month – instead of blogging about your daily experiences, seek out new and exciting adventures. The internet can wait.

Scorpio Horoscope (October 23 ? November 21) Speak up, Scorpio! You're especially persuasive this month. Now is the perfect time to say all those bottled up things you've been dying to. Assert yourself in work matters and the powers that be will be impressed. Reward yourself with simple pleasures and bring friends along for the ride. The more the merrier!

Sagittarius Horoscopes (November 22 ? December 20) Come out (of hiding), Sagittarius! You've spent months getting your work and financial life in order, now is the time to show off your accomplishments. Pluto spices up your life this month with boosts of personal power, sex appeal, and self-esteem. If you've got it – flaunt it. Don't get attention greedy, however. Celebrate the success of others and more will come your way.

Horoscopes December 2009

Wake up, Sagittarius! Shake off the sleepy cocoon of last month and emerge a fierce butterfly. Serious issues will arise later this month in your social and love life. Take your own advice and you'll come out on top with grace. If you're single, your positive energy may be just the thing to catch the eye of a special someone.

Reach out Capricorn! Your goals are clear but still just out of reach. December is more about the journey than the destination. Little steps add up if you're brave enough to take them. Strengthening old alliances will over-ride late month power struggles and leave you feeling dominant and attractive. Fierce!

Look out Aquarius! You've seen the sign and it has opened up your eyes. Now is the time to act on what you saw. December starts off with a bang that sends you forward. Let the enthusiasm carry you through work issues, but use caution when it comes to love. Leaping into someone's arms too soon may prove particularly destructive near mid-month.

Calm down, Pisces! Mixed emotions have left you feeling jittery. Stop seeking the validation of others and focus on you and you alone. Now is the perfect time to take control of your life. Eat better, work harder, play more. Be wary of relationships that seem to good to be true. Smooth talking can knock you off your path. A little focus, however, will go along way.

Hold tight Aries! Feeling stuck in a rut? Blame your key planet, Mars. Although December throws you into a whirlwind of social activity, your love and work life feel stagnant this month. Put on your best dancing shoes and prepare to party. You'll accomplish more when things get moving if you focus on living in the moment now.

Go wild, Taurus! Financial, emotional, and social situations all demand bold and adventurous choices from you this month. You're surrounded with chances to get closer ? one bold step might be all it takes. Power struggles bring the claws out later this month. Use your new boost of bravery to conquer all.

Think big, Gemini! Your ongoing quest for higher connections to both people and the world around you starts to pay off this month. Focus on the silver lining and you'll see the brighter side of life. Although your holiday season tendency is to usher people in, Mercury in Capricorn is filling you with doubt when it comes to love. Take a rational look at things and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Work it, Cancer! Change is spinning all around you. Rather than becoming a dizzy emotional hot mess, control your moods. You'll survive the storm if you use your head more than your heart. Strength is sexy. Put your best foot forward and people will surely notice.

Make a wish, Leo! Romance in the air gives everything a magical glow. Enjoy the hope and happiness that surround you this month, but be careful not to lose your head. Disappointment is sure to follow if your goals and expectations are unrealistic. Keep your eye on a reasonable prize and it (or he) will be your greatest holiday reward.

Back it up, Virgo! The New Year offers an all you can eat buffet of opportunities, but first you have to get in line. Are you where you need to be? Although hard work is required to get you back on track, a little idealism and charm will go a long way. Focus on recharging your life and the bedroom will inevitably spice up too.

Lighten up, Libra! Your big goals are right around the corner if you can stop being so bitchy to yourself. Focus on the way you talk to yourself, and you'll like what you hear. Communication rules this month ? a flirty casual chat has the power to become much more.

Let's get physical, Scorpio! Use this month
