Your Birthday for February 02, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 2nd, 2015

Born today, you may well enjoy a very early start to a long and lucrative career, but this depends in large part upon your instinctive ability to combine the strengths of your particular character with moments of good fortune that the stars will unveil to you at various points in your early development. In many ways, this will be like catching lightning in a bottle -- difficult to do and, once done, impossible to repeat! But you can do it if you trust yourself and allow yourself to do what feels right, and not just because it tells you in some rulebook what to do and when. Instinct, for you, will be a major tool throughout your lifetime.

You have a great deal of personal appeal, and you can open many doors for yourself, professionally and personally, simply through the use of your natural charm, good looks, winning smile and that certain, indefinable "something" that you carry deep within.

Also born on this date are: Shakira, singer; Farrah Fawcett, actress; Tommy Smothers, comedian; Christie Brinkley, model; James Joyce, author; Graham Nash, singer-songwriter; Brent Spiner, actor; Stan Getz, musician; Elaine Stritch, actress; Ayn Rand, author; Liz Smith, gossip columnist; James Dickey, poet and novelist.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You seem to know what's going on more than others, but throughout the day you'll have some catching up to do, as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You've probably scheduled your day very carefully ahead of time, yet you may have to juggle certain duties as the unexpected arises.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Focus on activities that give you a greater sense of freedom and personal power. Now is no time to consent to something unknown.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- By doing two or three things at once during daylight hours, you'll have more time after dark to tend to some pressing personal issues.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you say with a look or a gesture will be a more powerful message to the recipient than anything you try to convey with words alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should be able to balance your own personal needs with professional concerns today. Someone in charge reaches out to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Make no promises that you are unsure you can keep. Ultimately, your word is more valuable than anything else you may have to offer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Putting your best foot forward involves more than mere manners. How you look, what you say and where you come from matter, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The means of getting from here to there may be more complicated than expected. You may have to change some of your plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be surprised to learn that someone else is attempting something you have been trying to do. Does he or she have the advantage?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to follow more rules than usual -- or at least it will seem so. This is a way to ensure that everyone is on the same page.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be in a position to welcome a newcomer into your circle, but take care that you cover all the bases when reviewing expectations.

Your Birthday for February 01, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 1st, 2015

Born today, you have what it takes to be remembered for much, but that interests you far less than anything you might do entirely for yourself. You are deeply interested in what it means to be human, and you will always pursue that which gives you a more complete picture of what "human" is, a more detailed understanding of who you are and why, and what all of this can mean in your life and in the lives of others. Like so many other Aquarius natives, you realize that you're not in it alone, that what you do affects others -- and vice versa -- and that you must dedicate at least some of your time and energy to endeavors that involve those around you. Indeed, you understand that doing so is virtually unavoidable!

You're likely to enjoy a long and fruitful career, yet you may for much of that time wonder if you are on the right track at all, simply because you may not always have the time to examine and assess what you are doing. The busier you are, the more likely you will be to ignore those inner voices that demand attention -- and that is not an ideal situation for you.

Also born on this date are: Lisa Marie Presley, singer; Brandon Lee, actor; Clark Gable, actor; Rick James, singer; Pauly Shore, comedian; Sherman Hemsley, actor; Langston Hughes, writer; Princess Stephanie of Monaco; Don Everly, singer; Garrett Morris, actor and comedian; Boris Yeltsin, Russian president; John Ford, filmmaker.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're not likely to consider anything that is not presented to you in the proper format, no matter how good an idea it may be!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're expending a great deal of energy trying to get things to work out according to plan, but perhaps it's just not possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A new project is about to get underway, but you may be sidelined for a bit as you try to solve a complicated personal puzzle.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Safety is a primary concern throughout the day. Don't let those in your care wander too far from home. You may have to make a sacrifice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take a look around -- a long, careful look -- and you'll see things in a completely new way. Finally, you can make the right choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll have to take a more direct approach than usual in order to get the answers you want and the information contained therein.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's not enough to elicit a response; you must be willing to go further and command attention for quite a while.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel more than willing to do what only yesterday was something you would have avoided at all costs. What's different now?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You and some younger individuals may get together to explore options that have only recently been made available to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may feel as though you cannot escape the past -- and indeed, you cannot! Instead of trying to fight it, work with it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- That which is accidental -- or appears to be -- is worth another look. Things are not altogether as they seem.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You know how to phrase things in the most effective way possible, and you'll have the opportunity to do just that on many occasions.

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!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not going to be able to do everything all at the same time, so you must be ready to prioritize clearly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your schedule may be more complicated than expected, because you've taken up someone else's cause -- or taken him or her under your wing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The pace is increasing at this time, but you are surely able to keep up -- particularly if you stay focused on your primary objective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself tempted by something that others do not fully understand, but it's something you've actually considered for a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to double-time it in order to get everything done. You're not as excited about an offer of help as you had hoped.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You mustn't let yourself be tempted by that which is, for all intents and purposes, impossible or completely out of your reach.

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.
