Born today, you have a knack for going your own way even while part of a group. You bring your own original taste and manner to all endeavors, and you can be confident that others will always rise to the occasion and be better at what they are doing because you are on the scene. You don't always have to be in the spotlight, but when the opportunity arises, you know how to take full advantage of it, drawing praise and admiration from those around you. You have a unique style, and your personal stamp quickly identifies you to those who are looking.
Though you thrive on creative endeavors, you can also enjoy a normal home life with family, friends, pets and all the trappings of ordinary domesticity. Because your work can be so exciting, you don't really mind when things at home become routine or even slightly dull.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be recommended for a job that you don't feel you are particularly prepared for, and the day's events are likely to prove you wrong.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's going to take more than the usual effort to keep you from reaching your goals. Rivals may gang up on you at some point.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll see results almost immediately -- provided, of course, you take an aggressive stance and put your plans into motion.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's not who you know; it's who knows you. The difference is not going to be lost on anyone in your inner circle.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be translating coded messages all day long, and others will surely appreciate your clarity in receiving them as well as passing them on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you do after hours may prove just as important to you -- and others -- as anything that you accomplish on the job.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may think you know what another is going to do, but you must be ready for anything, as he or she is notoriously unpredictable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Focus on your surroundings and see if there isn't something you can do to improve how you feel and perform in that environment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not be in the mood for social interaction, but it may not be entirely avoidable. You can meet in the middle.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want things to progress on your terms, not another's, and you can make that happen by making a single call early on.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can push your own agenda without hampering anyone else's in the process, but it will require striking a very careful balance.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must respect all boundaries -- especially your own. Don't let anyone encroach too closely, for whatever reason.
