Your Birthday | February 20th, 2015

Born today, you are one of the most industrious individuals born under your sign, able to make good work out of almost anything, and always eager to show yourself and others that nothing can stand in your way. Indeed, nothing ever really does! You have been endowed with tremendous talent, and while you may never find yourself coursing down the mainstream toward solid success and accomplishment, you may well navigate the hidden inlets and tributaries and secure for yourself a special, unique kind of fame and notoriety -- and, perhaps, the fortune that can go with it. You certainly have what it takes to make a name for yourself.

You are an emotional individual, and it is quite common for your emotions to get the better of you. When this happens, you either find yourself soaring higher than most or sinking lower -- for your highs and lows can be quite dramatic, indeed.

Your Birthday for February 19, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 19th, 2015

Born today, you are a highly creative individual, and you are never likely to be happy doing any sort of job that requires to you curb your energy and keep yourself from thinking up one idea after another -- and subsequently putting it to the test. You want to be free to soar with the wind, unburdened by the kinds of rules and expectations that rule most others in life. Indeed, you can become quite frustrated when life doesn't present you with the kinds of exciting options and opportunities that you most enjoy. Some may consider this rather childish of you, but you try to live as you want to live, without ever trying to tell others how they should live their lives.

There are times when your temper gets the better of you. When this happens, you can expect to lash out at others in waves as your anger comes and goes freely -- for you never try to control this aspect of your personality for fear of allowing it to get control of you.

Also born on this date are: Victoria Justice, actress; Seal, singer; Smokey Robinson, singer-songwriter; Jeff Daniels, actor; Nicolaus Copernicus, astronomer; Lee Marvin, actor; Benicio Del Toro, actor; Justine Bateman, actress; Falco, singer; Amy Tan, writer.

Your Birthday for February 18, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 18th, 2015

Born today, you are always keenly aware of the effect you are having on those around you. You never enter a room without first considering exactly how the dynamic within that room will change as a result of your appearance, whether expected or unexpected. You are able to highlight certain aspects of your strong personality in order to influence things in certain ways. Because of this, you must always be sure that your motives and intentions are positive and pure. You never want to do anything that could be in any way harmful to others, even though you are quite capable of doing so! You are confident, at times even confrontational, but never inconsiderate or thoughtless.

You seem to be more motivated than most, always thinking of ways to be on the cutting edge of whatever endeavor you may be engaged in at the time. You do not think of yourself or your endeavors in small terms. You always consider where you will be far down the road, and you usually go after long-term gains, not immediate gratification.

Also born on this date are: Dr. Dre, rapper; John Travolta, actor; Vanna White, game show personality; Molly Ringwald, actress; Jillian Michaels, fitness trainer; Matt Dillon, actor; Yoko Ono, artist and musician; John Hughes, filmmaker; Jack Palance, actor; George Kennedy, actor; Cybill Shepherd, actress; Juice Newton, singer; Bill Cullen, game show host; Milos Forman, filmmaker; Helen Gurley Brown, editor; Wendell Willkie, lawyer and presidential candidate; Nikos Kazantzakis, author; Greta Scacchi, actress.
