THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LIBRA, SCORPIO, AND SAGITTARIUS.
ARIES You devote a lot of time to your family this week. You’re thinking about the pos- sibility of moving. A major change in your surroundings will be extremely beneficial. TAURUS You succeed in enlarging your social circle and spend lots of time on social networks. Your business will profit from word of mouth exposure. GEMINI You might get the go-ahead for the fi- nancing of one of your projects. This is a good week to talk to your bank manager about paying off some of your debts. CANCER This week promises lots of action on the emotional and professional fronts. You are quite proud of all that you accom- plish, which is great for your self-esteem. LEO You need to recharge your batteries. Take the time to live life and relax and be available to family. A loved one will have need of his or her favourite nurse. VIRGO You successfully organize an outstanding group trip. You are extremely efficient, even though it isn’t always easy to get answers from the people involved. LIBRA You end up with lots of responsibilities to shoulder, both at work and at home. You are offered a promotion on a silver platter. SCORPIO The idea of a trip or even a pilgrimage crosses your mind. This could possibly be an adventure for which you’ll have to pre- pare several months in advance. SAGITTARIUS Lots of emotions are on the horizon. Let yourself live love to the fullest; don’t ac- cept half measures. This is a good week to think deeply about such things. CAPRICORN If your relationship is fairly new, the ques- tion of living together will soon arise. If you’re single, Valentine’s Day is a great op- portunity to meet some interesting people. AQUARIUS Work is extremely profitable this week. Because of an unbelievable increase in your client base, you have to work twice as hard, but doing so will practically gua- rantee you a golden retirement. PISCES You’re the sort of person who often de- votes him- or herself to others, but it’s important to think about yourself as well. Choose constructive activities that help you build your self-esteem.

DIRECTIONS: Bring the water to a boil, add the spinach tortellini, bring back to a boil and cook for 8 minutes. Drain the tortellini and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and saute the onion and garlic. In a bowl, com- bine the cornstarch with the strained yogurt. Add the evaporated milk and the wine. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the cornstarch- yogurt mixture. Return to the heat, bring to a boil and stir until thick- ened. Add the Swiss and Parmesan cheese, tarragon and cashews to the sauce. Pour the sauce into a large skil- let. Add the tortellini and toss until well coated. Spon the tortellini onto a plate and garnish with the lime juice, toasted cashews, tarragon and chives. Recipe and photo : Graham Kerr’s Smart Cooking, Doubleday.
