DOES EVERYONE KNOW YOUR BUSINESS Even if you think they do, you'll have to keep remind- ing them about it. Buyer meets seller in the classi- fied ... time after time after time! Read and use the classified regu- larly. by Stella Wilder SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2021 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are never far from the center of the action, and though you aren’t always the one to get things going you can surely be counted on to keep them going as long as possible. You dread nothing more than missing out on all that’s going on, so you keep your eyes open and your ears to the ground, ready at a moment’s notice to join the fun -- whatever and wherever that may be. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’re playing fast and loose with someone’s resources at this time, and it’s not likely to be sustainable. It’s time for a new plan. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You’ll receive both praise and criticism today, and though the one is welcome and enjoyable, the other will teach you a valuable new lesson. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’re at the start of something that can prove both enjoyable and highly rewarding -- but you can’t leave the outcome to chance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A situation is evolving very quickly that will require you to look at your own behavior in a new light. Certain changes must be made. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Let your mind wander a bit and it will lead you in a pleasurable new direction -- but is there time to give this more than fleeting thoughts? CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You find yourself disagreeing with someone who is not only important to you personally but who also plays a role in a major project. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is no time to procrastinate; get to work right away in order to make the greatest possible headway. A rival is doing something new. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’ll have to follow the rules today whether or not you like it, so your best bet is to do so with a smile and a positive, cooperative attitude. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be facing many temptations throughout this busy day. What’s most important is that you don’t let a competitor mislead you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You require guidance today whether or not you realize it, so why not ask for it outright? This will send the right message to the boss. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Yesterday’s results have to be studied more closely today than usual. A sudden realization may have you conducting a recount. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re not interested in doing something the easy way; you want to do it the right way -- or not at all. Help arrives just in time. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2021 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are always wanting to be out there among those who are active and involved, and you like to put yourself at the very epicenter of the action -- even when it means you’ll be endangering yourself in the process. You thrive on doing, doing, doing, and when you are not doing, you are think- ing, thinking, thinking about what you can next do! TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’re going to have to power through today despite not feeling quite up to it. What you have ahead of you demands constant attention. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It may feel that today is any other day -- but in fact you’ll realize very soon that something different is pulling you in a new direction. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be wishing you could be in two places at once today as you address a domestic issue while reacting to something far from home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Puttering isn’t going to get the big job done today; you must be willing to set everything else aside while you tend to this central duty. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be expecting to go ‘round and ‘round with someone you simply cannot agree with -- but your rival’s stance has shifted closer to your own. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Things are likely to get back to normal today after being somehow different -- but you’re not sure if that’s good or bad. It could be both! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s time for you to prepare for something you can delay no longer. Put your interests ahead of anyone else’s for now, and you’ll surely prevail. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You cannot continue to work closely with a certain some- one who is unwilling to meet you halfway. It’s time to sever ties -- or make some changes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are likely to be afforded a clearer view over the horizon today than anyone else in your circle. You can deliver good news very soon. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Take care that you maintain thorough vigilance today as you watch over someone who has needed your guidance for quite some time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Now is the time for you to make your desires clear. Those who are in a position to fulfill your needs must hear from you directly! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A chal- lenge comes your way that you can surely meet head-on, provided you are aware of the dangers involved and prepare accordingly.
