Happy birthday for Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025: You are energetic, quick-witted and outgoing. You want life to be exciting. This is a year of service for you, probably service to family. Therefore, take care of yourself, because you will be a resource for others. Perhaps this is a year for a personal makeover.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Today you might have to put the emotional or practical considerations of someone else before your own. You’re not being a martyr; it’s just what’s happening. Look for ways to help someone else. This will be rewarding and satisfying for you. Tonight: You’re popular.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today you can’t conceal your feelings from others, and you shouldn’t try. This is because you need to be yourself and feel who you really are. Romance is more powerful! Relations with women in general will be improved. You might feel more protective or nurturing of children today. Tonight: You look good.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): This is a good time to retire by yourself to your own private place. You need a break from the demands of the busy outside world. Memories of your childhood might bubble to the surface of your mind. You also might see how old habits control your daily behavior. Tonight: Travel or learn.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Today you feel a strong need to talk to someone and say something that’s important to you. This means you want someone else to listen to you in a genuine, interested way. You’ll feel frustrated if people want to be casual and chitchat about the weather. Tonight: Check your finances.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Because it’s easy to identify with your possessions today, you might not want to lend something to someone. You might feel possessive about what you own. You also might find yourself having to defend your views or ideas when there really is nothing at stake. Tonight: Get rest.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today the Moon is in your sign, which can make you more emotional than usual. This occurs every month for two and a half days. However, on the upside, when the Moon is in your sign, your luck is slightly improved. How can you use this to your advantage? Tonight: Work.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today you might be tempted to withdraw from the world around you and seek some solitude and peace and quiet (if you have the chance to find some). This is also a good day to explore mystical or spiritual disciplines, because your Spidey sense is highly tuned. Tonight: Socialize.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your emotional contact with friends is important to you today. Likewise, you might be interacting with a group, club or organization. In either case, you might be surprised that you feel protective of someone. You also might feel jealous if a friend pays more attention to someone else. Tonight: Relax.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): For some reason, people seem to know personal details about your private life today. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. You might want to use your influence to help someone today. Or perhaps you will use the influence or clout of someone else if you can. Tonight: Learn.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today you want to get away from it all. Of course, travel is not the only way to get away from everything. You can explore the world through books, learning, film and talking to others. Be a tourist in your own city. Tonight: Check your belongings.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take time today to check out debt, bills and anything related to inheritances, insurance issues and shared property. Stay on top of these matters, because they don’t go away by themselves (despite what we might wish). Spend 15 minutes tidying up loose ends. Tonight: You’re confident.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others to be successful. (This is no biggie.) Be prepared to be friendly and accommodating. It’s wise to also be willing to help someone, especially a partner or a close friend. You’ll feel good. Tonight: Enjoy solitude.
