Horoscopes for Feb. 6

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Alice Greczyn was born in Walnut Creek, Calif., on this day in 1986. This birthday gal currently stars as Madeline Rybak on the series "The Lying Game." She's also been a regular on the shows "Privileged," "Lincoln Heights" and "Quintuplets." On the big screen, Greczyn has appeared in "House of Fears," "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "Fat Albert."

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't give away too much ground. Create harmony through compromise, but make sure that the other party isn't getting far too much out of the deal. Fight a tendency to buy impulse items on a whim.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Straighten your tie. Being the class clown can be fun so long as they are laughing with you and not at you. Don't overdo it when it comes to playing the prankster, especially when there is much work to be done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Act with your head, not your heart. Beware of letting others play upon your sympathies to achieve their own ends. Important decisions should not be reached without several days of contemplation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Spending money will not help you save money. No financial scheme tossed around today is better than simply keeping your hard-earned cash right where it is. The happiest piggy bank is stuffed full.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What works for the goose may not work for the gander. Don't let the success stories of others sway you into making a poor financial decision. There are many reasons and factors that make investments profitable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Turn the other cheek. Some of those around you may be looking for a fight. Don't indulge them. Try to defuse the situation with a witty remark or just walk away: there's nothing to be gained from confrontation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not all advice is good advice. Just because people act like experts doesn't mean that they are. Take information gained today with a grain of salt and draw your own conclusions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You're better off than you think. Just because your neighbor has a more expensive car is no reason to consider yourself a failure. Count your blessings; you'll be surprised at your wealth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sometimes, things don't go according to plan. It may seem as if unseen forces are thwarting your every move. This doesn't mean you'll fail. It just means that you're going to need to be patient.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don't psych yourself out. If you are filled with too much doubt or worry, you are likely to fail before you have even started. Approach challenges with the confidence that you are going to succeed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It can't always be a party. There are ups and downs in all relationships. It's silly to think that things are falling apart the first time something goes wrong. Keep a positive attitude; it'll all be forgotten soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Persistence pays off. There is no easy path to being a success, but you've kept your nose to the grindstone. It will be worth the effort as everything you've worked for is about to pay dividends.

IF FEBRUARY 6 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: During the next four to six weeks, your friends or family might take advantage of your kindheartedness. Because you are feeling pretty good about your life and take people at their word, someone might think you are gullible. Anything that tweaks your interest and distracts you from business as usual could become a waste of time, so hold off on major decisions, important commitments and crucial changes. Early August is an excellent time to put financial, business or career plans into motion.
