CRUISE THROUGH classified when you’re in the market for a new or used car. by Stella Wilder FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2020 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are likely to get a fast start at an early age, and the trick is that you will have to work hard to maintain the level of success that you establish when you are young. This means you must never rest on your laurels, and never assume that your knowledge in any given subject is up-to-date, for with each day that passes you can learn more -- and must! You are keenly aware of your place in the scheme of things, and you demand that you be treated in a manner that befits your very high opinion of yourself -- and that can be a problem, because not everyone thinks of you the way you do! SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be as happy with your surroundings as you have been in the past. This signals an internal shift that you must deal with soon. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You’ll ben- efit from a surprising insight today. You may FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2020 be tempted to tell another what should be done, but that would be a mistake. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be able to decide between two viable options today. Do you have the time to try out both? See what the experts say. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A good day is promised, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to proceed with some caution. Indeed, you’ll navigate troubles nimbly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Hard work yields expected results today, but you may have to take a hiatus in order to deal with an issue raised by a family member. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You’ll dis- cover a new and more effective way of dealing with a stubborn issue that has been affecting you indirectly for quite some time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Words spoken to you long ago echo in your mind throughout the day, guiding you down a path that can lead you exactly where you want to go. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn’t let a minor disagreement keep you from set- tling a more important issue. Now is no time to let the little things control you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Overlook nothing today as you search for answers to your questions. The little things serve as signposts on this journey of discovery. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Make no mistake about it -- whatever you do will be observed by someone, even if you try to go undercover. Keep things aboveboard today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will have to retrace your steps at some point today in order to determine where you went wrong -- but it’s a little thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can’t avoid a certain encounter today, so instead of trying to steer clear, you should prepare for any eventuality.
