Your Birthday for February 13, 2021

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 13th, 2021

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.

You do not always share your desires with others, and indeed, there are some about which even your closest friends and relatives are unaware -- and that's just as it should be as far as you are concerned. Is this because you are afraid of another's judgment or disapproval? It could be -- but most likely you simply enjoy keeping those secret parts of you secret.

Also born on this date are: Jerry Springer, politician and talk show host; Peter Gabriel, singer, songwriter and composer; Chuck Yeager, test pilot; Stockard Channing, actress; Peter Tork, guitarist and singer; Kim Novak, actress.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14

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 behavior that sends to others the wrong message is to be avoided today -- or abandoned permanently. 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 without being remotely aware of the situation. Open your eyes and change course.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Unusual behavior 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 unwillingness 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?

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.

Your Birthday for February 12, 2021

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 12th, 2021

Born today, you rely on both your keen intellect and a vivid, unfettered sense of humor to see you through -- and this is because, from an early age, you may well have realized that despite one's family structure and circle of friends, one is almost entirely alone in the world and must navigate situations using his or her native abilities at every juncture.

You don't have to say a lot to have a major impact on others. Indeed, you are so capable with words that you never need to say more than is necessary in order to convince a friend, persuade a foe or prove any point to anyone who you might encounter. You are often quite self-effacing, though you have a clear understanding of your own talents and capabilities; you surely know what you can do!

Also born on this date are: Abraham Lincoln, U.S. president; Robert Griffin III, football player; Charles Darwin, evolutionist and author; Christina Ricci, actress; Arsenio Hall, actor and talk show host.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Fun and profit are not mutually exclusive today -- and, in fact, you can have more of both by doing something in a way that nobody expects.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll enjoy a new opportunity that can make matters better for you at work and on the home front. An old friend resurfaces.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be inspired to do something special for a loved one today when memories of an old flame distract you from an unnecessary personal issue.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can expect things to line up in your favor today -- but don't be disingenuous and behave as though this isn't something you appreciate!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Sincerity is the key to success today. You must be sincere in all things -- especially when you're in a position of authority.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don't make the mistake of thinking that all things will bend to your will today. You must let things happen organically in some key situations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are facing a tricky situation, armed with only desires to do good and a willingness to get going. When do you begin?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will surprise no one by doing what only you know how to do. Today you'll enjoy more than one opportunity to demonstrate your expertise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be contacted today by someone who was instrumental in a past success -- and you realize that those days are not gone for good!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can maintain the highest standards today and still ease your way through a situation that doesn't really offer what you're looking for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can work wonders today with resources that are less than ideal, and others look upon you with more than admiration as a result.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may hear from someone today whom you have missed for quite some time, though you haven't been consciously aware of it until right now.

Your Birthday for February 11, 2021

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 11th, 2021

Born today, you don't always do things the way others do them, but that doesn't ever seem to set you back at all, and in fact, the more you stick to your own devices, the more you are likely to succeed -- though that success will not necessarily be recognized by others. Indeed, you are always in pursuit of "success" as defined by yourself alone and no one else -- and you will pursue it to the ends of the Earth if need be!

You maintain a rather robust image for the world at large, but when it comes to your private life, you are quite sensitive and vulnerable to all manner of emotional injuries. You must, therefore, always surround yourself with those who will treat you well -- with love, respect and consideration. Indeed, you often need to be handled "with kid gloves."

Also born on this date are: Taylor Lautner, actor; Jennifer Aniston, actress; Brandy, singer; Thomas Alva Edison, inventor; Sheryl Crow, singer and songwriter; Burt Reynolds, actor; Sidney Sheldon, author and TV writer.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've been telling yourself that more must be done, but still, you've not moved ahead. Today you'll have more than enough reason, surely!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your memories of a better time are skewed, and you'll realize today that you've been coloring them in a way that cannot do you any real good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Inaccuracies in work or play aren't to be tolerated today. You must step forward and call out those who are unwilling to "toe the line."

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Put yourself in another's shoes today and you'll know just what must be done. It's your attitude that needs adjustment, and now's the time!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There are many people who are depending on you for guidance right now, and despite any lack of confidence on your part, you must deliver the goods.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Look around today and you'll realize that you are surrounded by inspiration. Now is the time to do something memorable as a result.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A journey takes you down one or two roads today that you would never have chosen before -- but they will lead you where you have to go.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's time for you to adopt a livelier approach to a problem that isn't going anywhere. Time is on your side if you use it wisely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll receive a kind of "shock treatment" today at the hands of a friend who realizes just what you really need. Be ready.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A seeming difficulty is actually nothing of the kind, as you will discover as the pace increases today and you make up for some lost time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may find yourself caring for one who, by rights, should be caring for you. This relationship continues in this way for a while.
