Your Birthday for February 21, 2015

Your Birthday | February 21st, 2015

Born today, you enjoy working and playing with others and combining resources, energy and ideas to come up with something that is truly the collective product of everyone involved. However, you prefer coming up with ideas, and thinking through problems and doing whatever homework you may have to do entirely on your own. Then, and only then -- after you have devised a plan or come up with a winning idea -- will you want to share what you've been working on with other members of your team. So, in a sense, you enjoy the best of both worlds -- solitary work that leads to successful collaboration with others. You are never jealous of your ideas, however; you are willing to share almost everything you dream up with those working with you.

Pressure is not something you fear; on the contrary, you sometimes work best, and play best, under intense pressure. When you find yourself engaged in a close competition with a rival who tests your abilities on every level, you really shine. Indeed, that is the kind of thing you actually like best -- provided you don't feel completely outclassed.

Also born on this date are: Corbin Bleu, actor; Ashley Greene, actress; Jennifer Love Hewitt, actress; Alan Rickman, actor; Ellen Page, actress; Kelsey Grammer, actor; Rue McClanahan, actress; Andres Segovia, classical guitarist; Nina Simone, singer and activist; Tyne Daly, actress; William Petersen, actor; John Lewis, politician; Barbara Jordan, politician; Mary Chapin Carpenter, singer; Erma Bombeck, columnist; Melanie Laurent, actress; Ann Sheridan, actress; Sam Peckinpah, filmmaker.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll receive information about a big decision that will affect the course of your life for some time to come.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You mustn't take events too much to heart; a personal response can only make things more difficult -- and more misunderstood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Avoid self-indulgence. Give another the chance to step forward and explain things in a way that comes from the heart. Caring matters!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be able to see things from any other point of view but your own, which may prove limiting for a time, but not always.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Obstacles that rise before you can be overcome or perhaps even avoided entirely if you have enough advance warning.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The choices you make that open the doors to more options are the ones for you. Now is no time to impose restrictions on yourself or others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A few unexpected changes may have you wondering what's next, but you should be able to regain your footing very quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Whatever answer you give, you'll want to give it in a confident, clear manner. Now is not the time for doubt or uncertainty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- If you are too concerned with being on the right side, it's almost certain that what you do will not be right for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Are you asking too much of another? Of yourself? Perhaps a look at what has happened in recent days will make things clearer to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must feed your mind, body and spirit -- and you can find a way, surely. Something you enjoy is more enjoyable than usual.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be in the mood you thought you would be in, and getting certain things done may prove difficult as a result.

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.

Also born on this date are: Rihanna, singer; Kurt Cobain, singer-songwriter; Sidney Poitier, actor and director; Charles Barkley, basketball player; Cindy Crawford, model; Justin Verlander, baseball player; Nancy Wilson, singer; Anthony Head, actor; Sandy Duncan, actress; Ansel Adams, photographer; Gloria Vanderbilt, heiress and designer; Ivana Trump, model and socialite; Gale Gordon, actor; Peter Strauss, actor; Willie Garson, actor; Robert Altman, filmmaker; Bobby Unser, auto racer; Mike Leigh, director; Patty Hearst, kidnapee; Ron Eldard, actor.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The creativity you display when doing those things you enjoy doing can also serve you well in endeavors that are not quite as fun.

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.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone may call a halt to that which has engaged you fully. What are you going to do now that this fascination must come to an end?
