Your Birthday | February 28th, 2014

Born today, you are comfortable with both short-term efforts and long-term commitments. No matter what each entails, you are sure to devote your utmost to them so that you can enjoy the greatest possible return for your efforts. You have some remarkable talents, but only one or two are likely to seem anything but ordinary to you; those that do inspire you are the ones that you will develop fully and use to transport yourself to the threshold of greatness -- and indeed, you do have the makings of someone great! You work and play with the same gusto, and when you engage another in any kind of game, you will do your utmost to win -- while playing fair at all times.

You like to surprise those around you, and you will no doubt cultivate a technique for pulling the unexpected out of the proverbial hat again and again. This is what makes you a favorite on the professional scene and in social situations. You can always be counted on to entertain those around you, even when there is serious business at hand.

Also born on this date are: Bernadette Peters, actress and singer; Gilbert Gottfried, actor and comedian; Ali Larter, actress; Gavin MacLeod, actor; Robert Sean Leonard, actor; Mario Andretti, auto racer; John Turturro, actor; Rae Dawn Chong, actress; Charles Durning, actor; Zero Mostel, actor; Tommy Tune, actor, dancer, choreographer, director; Kelly Bishop, actress; Bugsy Siegel, mobster.

SATURDAY, MARCH 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone you have trusted in the past may surprise you by putting you on the spot. A secret has been kept for too long.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An offer comes to you that may compel you to change course mid-journey. It may be tough to keep up with modern communication.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An authority figure puts pressure on you. Self-governing becomes a major issue when you are left to your own devices later on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you are allowed to get away with a certain transgression, trouble will surely be around the corner. It's time to admit what you did.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If it's time for you to come clean, there is no better day for it than today. Most will understand your motives quite clearly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll have a choice to make, but it won't happen until late in the day. You'll have to fight fatigue, and perhaps some confusion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What governs you governs others, but you are more connected to what makes you tick than most -- at least for right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A personal project may not be progressing as you had hoped, but you can make a few key alterations that increase potential greatly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Don't confuse pace with progress; you can make more headway moving relatively slowly than you could by moving hastily.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be taken by a notion that proves exciting to you -- even though it may bring you in contact with some danger.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're going to want to stick to the schedule you have created for yourself. Any deviation from the plan could threaten success.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may make a rather serious error early in the day, but with the oversight mechanism you should have in place, recovery can be swift.

Your Birthday for February 27, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 27th, 2014

Born today, you are the kind of person to find personal success alone somewhat unsatisfying. As a result, you will always work for the betterment of others as you strive for personal gains and rewards. You take very seriously the notion of destiny, and you believe strongly in the idea of the role model; you honestly believe that if you strive to be the best role model you can, you are also fulfilling your true destiny. You cannot believe that you have been put in the world merely to chase personal gains; you know you are merely one of millions who strive, seek, and achieve -- and you want to be a productive, contributing member of that community.

You have a knack for attracting attention to yourself and your endeavors, yet you often do your best work when you are not taking center stage. Indeed, when you are doing things that do not seem to come naturally to you, you develop more quickly and win high marks more readily.

Also born on this date are: Elizabeth Taylor, actress; Josh Groban, singer; Chelsea Clinton, journalist; John Steinbeck, author; Joanne Woodward, actess; Timothy Spall, actor; Ralph Nader, consumer advocate; Howard Hesseman, actor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may have reason to give up the hunt, but you want to keep things going until the very last moment. You'll know when that is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have more to do than meets the eye, and you may not be able to accomplish it all without soliciting the help of a rival.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Follow instructions carefully, and you'll quickly learn what is expected of you -- and when you can indulge yourself a little.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Others will be looking to you today to know what is possible. How you face the most difficult situations will say a great deal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Things may actually be easier than you had expected, but that's no reason to let up. It's time to push forward aggressively.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- That which makes the least sense is likely to attract you more than anything else. Perhaps it's a puzzle you can solve.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have the chance to get closer to something or someone than you had ever thought possible. This can prove a real high point.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others are keeping an eye on you to see how you are able to manage in situations that may be too much for them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Keep lines of communication open. You can balance being in charge with listening to the wishes of those under you.

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 26th, 2014

Born today, you are no stranger to the darker corners in life, and indeed you are likely to derive a great deal of meaning and inspiration from experiences that others would prefer to avoid altogether. You are likely to develop a unique perspective in life and use it to your advantage again and again -- though it is not always going to make things easy for you. In fact, difficulty and reward go hand-in-hand as far as you are concerned, and while you don't necessarily invite hardship, you know how to deal with it in a productive, progressive, forward-moving kind of way.

Always willing to pick yourself up when you fall, you are certain to learn from your experiences in ways that others may not, and this will give you certain advantages in life -- tenacity and longevity, to name only two. You are able to outlast many others in your pursuit of achievement and success.

Also born on this date are: Johnny Cash, singer and songwriter; Erykah Badu, singer; Michael Bolton, singer; Jackie Gleason, actor and comedian; Fats Domino, musician; Victor Hugo, author; William Frawley, actor; Buffalo Bill Cody, Old West showman; Tony Randall, actor; Robert Alda, actor; Ariel Sharon, Israeli leader; Betty Hutton, actress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll have the chance to show off just a little, but what you choose to do is less important than how and when you do it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It may prove to be a rather emotional day as you face a situation at home that you had not anticipated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're ready to make a certain difficult decision. What happens in the aftermath has others wondering how you do it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- That which doesn't come naturally to you is worth exploring more fully than usual. Right now, your capacity for learning is great.
