Your Birthday for February 10, 2015

Your Birthday | February 10th, 2015

Born today, you may seem to come from nowhere in some respects, taking the establishment by surprise when you appear on the scene and shake things up with your unusual demeanor, unexpected talents, and remarkable ability to attract the right kind of attention and do things that are praiseworthy right from the very beginning. Indeed, it may not take you any time at all to score victory after victory, and others are sure to be talking about you almost immediately, recognizing in you the kind of charisma, ability and poise that only the true greats have, as well as a knack for turning opportunity into accomplishment and reward. You may, in fact, be able to do the impossible more than once in your lifetime.

There is a danger, however, despite the tremendous success you are likely to enjoy, that you will fade into obscurity just as quickly as you rose to prominence. What you must do is figure out how to prevent this. If it happens, you may not get a second chance; but if it doesn't, you can enjoy being a star to the bitter end.

Also born on this date are: Jimmy Durante, actor and comedian; Elizabeth Banks, actress; Robert Wagner, actor; Roberta Flack, singer; Glenn Beck, political commentator and author; Mark Spitz, Olympic swimmer; Makenzie Vega, actress; George Stephanopoulos, political adviser and commentator; Laura Dern, actress; Lon Chaney Jr., actor; Leontyne Price, operatic soprano; Boris Pasternak, novelist; Bill Tilden, tennis player.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be trying to hide the truth in a way that is actually far more likely to bring it out into the open.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can expect a few surprises to come your way, and the question you must ask is this: Are you ready to maneuver in any way required?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone else is waiting for you to fulfill a certain responsibility, but you may not be able to tend to it in a timely manner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must be ready to follow instructions to the letter. Doing a certain thing your own way may only make a mess of it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to stay on course all day long because of certain personal issues that stand between you and your destination.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Understanding is something that is very much worth pursuing. The more you understand those around you, the more you can accomplish.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will want to pay keen attention to every detail. Even the slightest lapse can get you into hot water.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're able to get a great deal done ahead of schedule, but one endeavor in particular may cause you to slow down significantly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are ready to step in and do for another what he or she cannot do alone. You must expect little or nothing in return.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are far too concerned with what has happened in the past. You should focus on what is fast approaching in the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- An accidental encounter can become something worth developing if you are willing to let an unintentional offense be quickly forgotten.

Your Birthday for February 09, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 9th, 2015

Born today, you are a passionate individual, able at all times to control your passions and steer them toward fruitful use and the accomplishment of goals that will prove mightily important in your life and the lives of those in your immediate circle -- and beyond. You believe wholeheartedly in the notion that life is only worth living if it is lived fully, that feeling deeply about things is a necessity, and that working tirelessly toward the expression of your values is perhaps the noblest of human endeavors. You never make the mistake of thinking that your way is the only way, however; you can accept dissenting views on all levels, as long as those views are the product of true belief and deep, genuine passion.

You may not always be the luckiest individual, but your ability to overcome obstacles will make up for any misfortune you may experience in your life, whether personal or professional. It is likely, in fact, that personal hardships will be more deeply felt than professional complications.

Also born on this date are: Joe Pesci, actor; Carole King, singer-songwriter; Travis Tritt, singer; Gypsy Rose Lee, burlesque dancer; Mia Farrow, actress; Alice Walker, author; William Henry Harrison, U.S. president; Carmen Miranda, actress; Ziyi Zhang, actress; Ciaran Hinds, actor; Ronald Colman, actor; Roger Mudd, journalist; Dean Rusk, U.S. politician; Brendan Behan, Irish poet and playwright.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are seeking answers that are actually quite close at hand, yet there may be something cloudy hanging between you and them.

TAURUS (April 19-May 20) -- You may be responsible for a conflict that will not be easy for others to understand. Putting an end to it is up to you as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're going to have to look at things from a different point of view. A friend is in the right place to provide one for you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take care that, in your attempts to clean up a mess, you don't unintentionally make another one that is much harder to deal with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can avoid almost anything negative, provided you don't let a long-standing resentment cloud your judgment. It's time to let it go!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your ideas will prove quite attractive to those who are just learning to be in charge. You may find yourself accepting an unusual offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be compared to one who has done much the same in similar situations, yet you know that there is much that separates you, as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your own examination of what has happened in recent days will provide you with more than one answer -- and a few unexpected choices.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are tempted to break with tradition and do something that others may find unacceptable -- at first. Later, you can win approval.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your attempts to coordinate several family activities should pay off nicely, and you'll even have some alone time, too!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have no choice but to lay down the law in a way that others understand clearly. There's no time to waste.

Your Birthday for February 08, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 8th, 2015

Born today, you aren't likely to be remembered for only one accomplishment in your life, for your interests and talents are sure to lead you in many different directions, often at the same time. You will therefore be able to score all manner of different successes in both your personal life and your professional endeavors. You can be fiercely competitive, and you have been known to have a good old-fashioned tantrum if you don't come out on top, but this is because you know that you haven't done your best, not because you think someone else hasn't been good enough to beat you. Indeed, you are nothing if not realistic about talent -- your own, and other people's.

You can, at times, let pride get in your way, particularly where affairs of the heart are concerned. You do not recover quickly from having your heart broken, but fortunately, it's not likely to happen very often. Why? Because you are more likely to break hearts yourself!

Also born on this date are: Seth Green, actor; James Dean, actor; Gary Coleman, actor; John Williams, composer; Nick Nolte, actor; Lana Turner, actress; Jack Lemmon, actor; John Grisham, novelist; Audrey Meadows, actress; Jules Verne, science fiction author; Mary Steenburgen, actress; Ted Koppel, journalist; Mary McCormack, actress; William T. Sherman, U.S. military leader; Robert Klein, comedian and actor; Henry Czerny, actor.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have the chance to score an important "first," though the competition will be fierce and you must be on your game!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take things easily, one at a time, and don't be tempted to bite off more than you can chew. A conservative approach is perhaps best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be frustrated by those who are not following your instructions, but perhaps those instructions are not as clear as they might be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll realize that what is happening is far more important to you than expected -- and you'll appreciate it all the more.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Give yourself a little more time to get things done, as you may encounter one or two roadblocks that you have, in fact, set up yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- This is a good day to recognize, study and break a habit that you have determined is a bad one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll receive the sincere thanks of those who have enjoyed being involved in a project that you helped get off the ground.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll have more to do with another's personal affairs than usual. He or she may be of two minds about how you are "helping."

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not appreciate the significance of a certain event that transpires between you and a loved one until night falls.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's a good day to assess your current standing and determine not only which way to go from here, but how best to start out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be pulled in more than one direction at once, but a trusted friend will help you maintain your equilibrium in nearly all things.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll receive some messages from those whom you have touched in recent days or weeks. One in particular strikes you in a special way.
