SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2021 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you don’t always have to be the center of attention, but this is because you are confident that whenever you choose to be so, you can and will -- and that’s certainly true most of the time! All you have to do is walk into a room and your presence will be felt by all, and all will eventually turn toward you for interaction that they feel is important and beneficial. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know that there is only one way to proceed today, and yet you may still hesitate. Something is going on that requires attention. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Simplicity is the key to success today; any approach you take must steer clear of complication. Take a leaf out of someone’s book. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’re so eager to be “original” that you are ignoring very real ways of scoring a major success. It’s time to rethink what matters most. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Any behav- ior that sends to others the wrong message is to be avoided today -- or abandoned perma- nently. You must keep your goals in sight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An early start today allows you to use the time later on to pursue personal goals. In the meantime, you must address certain professional needs. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You’re likely giving someone an advantage over you with- out being remotely aware of the situation. Open your eyes and change course. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Unusual behav- ior warrants a close look today. While you try to figure out what’s really going on, someone gives you the slip. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A warning voice has you concerned about your position -- and rightly so. You’ll want to consider all options as you make a new plan. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone close to you is concerned about your unwill- ingness to follow his or her lead. You have a very good reason -- but can it be shared? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don’t want to find yourself in a situation that robs you of any real chance of success today. Do all you can to increase potential. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Others may not understand what you are trying to accomplish, but you needn’t take time to explain yourself -- just yet. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are working your way closer and closer to a line that you’ve sworn not to cross. Is it time, at last, to reconsider that unrealistic pledge?
