Your Birthday for January 31, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 31st, 2015

Born today, you aren't the kind to stay in the shadows for long. When you get your first lucky break -- and lucky it is very likely to be! -- you will be ready to take full advantage of it and follow where it leads with a kind of enthusiastic abandon that makes you the envy of all who have ever wished to be so lucky themselves. Indeed, you may prove an inspiration to many in your lifetime, as you demonstrate through your own behavior -- in both personal and professional affairs -- how to be a brave, principled, upstanding individual who brooks difficulty with the same grace as he welcomes opportunity and success. You know what's important, you know who matters and you're not one to be shaken from those beliefs.

You are something of a dreamer. While you are young, you will learn to close your eyes and envision the future as specifically as you possibly can; later, you will discover that the more specific you can be, the more likely it is that you will enjoy a reality that closely resembles what you have imagined!

Also born on this date are: Justin Timberlake, singer and actor; Jackie Robinson, baseball player; Portia De Rossi, actress; Zane Grey, author; Nolan Ryan, baseball player; Vernon Davis, football player; Carol Channing, actress; Minnie Driver, actress; Suzanne Pleshette, actress; Jean Simmons, actress; James Franciscus, actor; Franz Schubert, composer; Mario Lanza, operatic tenor; Eddie Cantor, singer-songwriter and comedian; Kelly Lynch, actress; Anthony LaPaglia, actor; Tallulah Bankhead, actress; Philip Glass, composer; Norman Mailer, author.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something has been holding you back, and it's high time you get to the bottom of it. More than one thing is eating at you, in fact.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may feel that something is weighing on you in an unusual fashion, and the feeling is not a good one. You can find the cause!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's important that you keep your head in the game, or you may find that you are putting more than your money at risk.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're trying too hard to control the things around you when few of them can, in fact, be controlled the way you would wish. Loosen up!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's a good day to consider offering someone else a chance at the big time as only you can. Success is what you make it!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're trying to prove yourself in some way, but is it the right way? Now is the time to get to the heart of a key personal matter.

Your Birthday for January 30, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 30th, 2015

Born today, you may have to deal with many obstacles in your lifetime, but what sets you apart from most other Aquarius natives is your ability to overcome those that spring from within. In other words, you are able to turn an inner weakness into a strength, to make others see the positive within even as you are aware of the negative that lurks just beneath the surface. It is your intimate acquaintance with the dark side of your nature, and of the world at large, in fact, that gives you a distinct advantage. This will enable you to do so much under even the most adverse of circumstances. You fear very little -- in fact, you do what you can to banish fear itself from the sphere of your experience as much as possible.

Your personal life may be quite complicated, and when it comes to love, you are likely to follow rules that are not entirely conventional. What works for some doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and just as you're not the kind to tell another how to live, you won't have others telling you how to live, either!

Also born on this date are: Phil Collins, singer-songwriter and musician; Christian Bale, actor; Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. president; Dick Martin, actor, director and comedian; Dorothy Malone, actress; Gene Hackman, actor; Wilmer Valderrama, actor; Dick Cheney, former U.S. vice president; Vanessa Redgrave, actress; Brett Butler, comedian and actress; Boris Spassky, Russian chess champion; Charles Dutton, actor.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 31

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You seem to know things that others don't at this time -- but is this clairvoyance, or simply the result of keen instincts?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have what it takes to accomplish something others may have considered impossible. It's time to show them what you've got!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may be hoping that you're in the dark about a certain key development, but you know more about it than you're letting on. Much more!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be in a giving mood, but take care that you don't give up something you will dearly miss a little further down the road.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The questions you ask will yield very interesting answers. Now is the time for you to explore unforeseen circumstances more fully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll know when the end of the day approaches by the way you are feeling -- spent and satisfied. Until then, you'll be on fire!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Others are trying to figure you out in a way that makes you feel challenged and even unsafe in some way. You can resist -- politely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What comes as a matter of course will give you the reason you need to do something you've not dared do in the past.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to step in and ease tensions between parties who, in fact, have very little to argue about at this time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Communication skills are improving, and they're likely to be put to the test -- but in an unusual environment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your surprise will be remarkable, and you, in turn, can surprise another in a way that will be just as remarkable and memorable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Now is no time for re-gifting. What was given to you out of respect and admiration should be received with humble gratitude.

Your Birthday for January 29, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 29th, 2015

Born today, you are always on the lookout for that new opportunity, that new prospect, that new road that is yet untaken. Indeed, you are likely to forge ahead where others dare not tread, and the outcome will usually be positive. If it isn't initially just what you had hoped it would be, then you will do what you can to reverse those fortunes, snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, and turn bad luck into good. Others are always amazed at your ability to maneuver creatively through life in order to maximize both opportunities and rewards, and you may actually come to enjoy showing off a bit to those who may not believe you can succeed every time!

Like so many other Aquarius natives, you rely on humor to see you through the darker times. Indeed, your ability to laugh at yourself, at others and at almost anything at all will make it possible for you to prevail when others might fall short or perhaps be punished for their inability to see things in the right light.

Also born on this date are: Oprah Winfrey, talk show host and media mogul; Adam Lambert, singer; Tom Selleck, actor; Heather Graham, actress; Paul Ryan, politician; William McKinley, U.S. president; W.C. Fields, actor and comedian; Anton Chekhov, author; John Forsythe, actor; Victor Mature, actor; Katharine Ross, actress; Thomas Paine, political theorist; Greg Louganis, Olympic diver.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're in a good position to ask for what you need, but you must be as specific as possible. Don't make anyone guess!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're eager to get into something new with a friend or co-worker, but you must consider all possible risks, as well as benefits.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do you really want to jump right in? Perhaps you are not as ready as you think you are. A simple test provides the answer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others are gravitating toward you on a more regular basis, but for reasons that you do not yet completely comprehend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The time has come for you to reach for the brass ring: The opportunity will be clear and undeniable. More than you know will benefit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be feeling quite up to snuff, and the reason may rest with one who sometimes knows you better than you know yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- If you find yourself saying, "There's only one way to find out," then you'd better start following that one path immediately, to see where it leads.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not be able to see everything ahead of you as clearly as usual, but a friend can serve as your eyes, ears and conscience, too!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Watch those whom you only recently liberated, and you'll discover that they have actually learned a great deal more than you thought.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's a good day to experiment with letting go a bit more than usual. You can trust that the world will turn without you -- for now!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're ready to share something close to your heart with a friend or loved one. There's no risk involved by now!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can surely prepare for a major undertaking, but you may have to do so in stages. Don't try to do or learn too much at one time.
