HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, February 13, 2023. The day gets off to a slow and sleepy start, which might not be a bad thing. Toward midday, the intensity in the air begins to increase. As a result, many of us might be in an unsocial mood. Tasks that involve working in a group or interacting with others could be difficult. It might be best to keep to ourselves as much as possible and steer clear of potential drama. Limiting our interactions to close family and friends might help, too. The vibe fortunately does mellow out toward the evening, giving us an opportunity to shake off our blues.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) — You may enjoy your alone time more than being social today. If you’re not feeling it, don’t force it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) — Don’t let the haters or critics get to you. Find solace with people who get you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) — Don’t be too hard on yourself or second-guess what you know. With whatever you’re doing, recognise that you’re doing something right.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) — Seek out some medicine for your soul. Change your environment. Read or watch something that makes you laugh or gives you hope.

LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) — If you’re going through something, allow someone you love to help you through it.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) — You may be overwhelmed with work today. Delegating tasks to others or partnering up with someone could help make your life easier.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) — Avoid buying things you don’t really need. Stick with just the essentials for now.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) — Try not to let family drama or memories from the past weigh you down. Prioritise your joy today. Do something that’s just for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) — Don’t cut yourself off from everyone today. Connect with the people you love.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) — Try being a little more understanding of others today. And don’t be too proud to ask a friend for help.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) — Do your best to avoid bending over backward for people. If you must go above and beyond for someone, do it for yourself.

PISCES (Feb 19 to March 20) — Believe in yourself and what you can do. Don’t let your fears get the better of you.
