For Saturday, Feb. 18

Those with birthdays today: You could find that you are happiest if you play this year as a mixed bag. Often, you will want to detach and not become involved. Other times, you will want to be in the thick of things. Leadership becomes you, but only with learned detachment and understanding. If you are single, your life takes a major change if you are willing to risk. Someone quite exotic enters from out of left field. Learn to relate more fully. Jump past self-imposed barriers. If you are attached, you’ll bond on trips and weekend getaways. Seminars increase your communication abilities. In-laws could play a major role. SCORPIO pushes you into the limelight.
