Born today, you are never one to say no to a challenge, but neither are you the kind to stick with something when all signs point to imminent failure. You know when to cut and run, when to hedge your bets and when to double down. You are an expert gambler -- at least, when you know the rules of the game! Some may find you rather "hidden" in that you are unwilling to show them what you are feeling at any given time, but your feelings are very much your own business, and you don't feel the need to advertise what is going on beneath your usually calm surface. You can fool people quite easily by adopting a manner that belies what is going on underneath.
Attractive and charming, you may well have a great many admirers -- of both sexes! You know where you stand, however, and you maintain confidence in who you are and what you want. At the same time, you are not one to condemn another for his or her tastes or feelings.
Also born on this date are: Meg Tilly, actress; Gregory Hines, actor and dancer; Carl Bernstein, reporter and author; Florence Henderson, singer and actress; Hugh Downs, reporter; Jimmy Hoffa, union leader; Jack Benny, comedian; Frederick Douglass, abolitionist.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is likely to be very little to criticize about your work today. Others will come running when you announce what you are doing next.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be too concerned with outdoing a rival than with doing your best work. Focus on the task at hand, and don't be too competitive.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll be facing a challenge today that is more complicated than it may seem at first. Advice comes your way that you can use at the last minute.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you are trying to accomplish today may require you to be somewhat repetitive until you reach your stride. Then things really take off!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not know just which way to go when given a choice today, but the road that leads in a wholly new direction may be your best bet.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your own recent progress has been noteworthy, but you may still feel as though you are falling short of your ultimate goal. Keep going!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be required to provide accurate information to someone who is in a position to request it. Don't balk -- and don't delay.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- If it's a straight answer you are after, you must be sure to ask the right person the right question. Otherwise, you'll encounter a dead end.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have trouble determining with any real accuracy what someone else is thinking today -- and his or her opinion matters to you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may feel like you're at the end of your rope at this time, but take care that you're not merely overreacting to a temporary situation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Preparation is the issue today, and you mustn't hang back and let others get the jump on you. You are able to learn a lot very quickly.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're going to have to juggle the conflicting tastes of several people who are in charge of a situation you are responsible for balancing.
