For Wednesday, Feb. 14

Those with birthdays today: Much occurs behind the scenes this year. Many will make assumptions about your choices and direction. Easily, you could veer in a new direction. Networking might be key. Learn to express your anger before it becomes a problem this year. If you are single, romance could include some mystery or someone who could be quite different. Make no commitments until you are sure you know each other well. If you are attached, expect some strange, if not awkward, moments with your sweetie. Don’t make a big deal out of it. CAPRICORN can be your worst enemy or your best friend.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Take a step forward. You are responsible and want to smooth out a problem. You understand much more than you realize about an authority figure. Act on your inner knowledge. Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The unexpected marks your day. Someone you least expect remembers you. Reach out for someone you really care about. Detach and gain perspective. Tonight: Hop on the computer.

Someone wants your attention and only yours. You’ll radiate with happiness if you follow your heart. A close associate could be off about something. Tonight: It’s Valentine’s Day, so act like it!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Deferring to others could make a big difference. Your sense of direction could easily be thwarted by someone who acts as if he has a fire under him. Tonight: To be happy, go with the flow.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

If you are focused properly, your achievements could be many. While others flirt with what Leo knows and understands well – romance – you seem determined to clear your desk. What gives? Tonight: Your favorite spot.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your creativity could astound some, maybe even you. You have a way of handling what could be an awkward situation. Your lively style and happy manner draw many. Tonight: Make the most of the mood.

Basics count. If you are comfortable with someone, you’ll be happy. Check out an investment with care. There might be a lot more going on with this proposition than you realize. Tonight: Entertain at home.

Sometimes your well-intended gestures fall flat. At other times, you hit the mark and delight not only you but also others. You might flip from one mode to the other if you don’t stop and think. Tonight: With the apple of your eye.

You of all signs can easily go overboard. You do need to understand, though, the act or gesture might go a long way, and it might not be worth the long-term damage. Tonight: Make an effort rather than a gesture.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Though you might have an uncomfortable moment or two, you hit one of your power days where your magnetism emerges, as well as your happier side. Tonight: What would make this time perfect? Follow through.

Keeping your opinions and feelings private could be most appropriate. Still, let a key loved one know what’s up. Schedule a private talk. Tonight: You don’t need to tell everyone what you are up to.

* A meeting or conversation helps you keep your eye on the big picture. How you deal with someone could radically change because of a different perspective. Tonight: Exactly what you want.
