Your Birthday for February 03, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 3rd, 2017

Born today, you are known for being comfortable in your skin, the type of person who has few, if any, hangups about your appearance, talents or personality. In short, you have confidence in everything that the stars themselves have bestowed upon you. While you don't appear to care about any of these things, you do care very much about making the right choices in life and ensuring that you continue to have choices to make -- the more choices, the better. You're not the kind to limit yourself to one or even two courses of action; you insist on being free to pursue anything that piques your curiosity or interest, or that could possibly enable you to develop your talents more fully. You accept the fact that you cannot do certain things, but what you do about it is entirely up to you!

You have a great deal of positive energy, and you can almost literally light up a room simply by walking into it. You are known for doing and saying things that might, if coming from someone else, be considered ill-advised and be taken badly -- but from you, such things are almost always widely enjoyed and appreciated.

Also born on this date are: Norman Rockwell, illustrator and painter; Nathan Lane, actor; Morgan Fairchild, actress; Blythe Danner, actress; Fran Tarkenton, football player; Joey Bishop, actor; James Michener, author; Gertrude Stein, writer and poet; Bob Griese, football player; Michael Cimino, filmmaker; Isla Fisher, actress; Maura Tierney, actress.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to run things by the seat of your pants, but that's just the way you like it! No one can tell you he or she does it better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You want to be available to someone who is in need of assistance, and you are confident that only you can do what needs to be done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can share much with those around you, but take care that you don't reveal personal information that is best kept under wraps for now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- One of your closest friends is likely to know just what is going on with you, but you don't want to admit that he or she is right, do you?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've reached the halfway point of a major project, yet there are still some who don't really know what you are up to. Tell your story!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are waiting for a loved one to take your hand and usher you into the future -- but first you must be willing to relinquish control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't want to go back to someone who once told you a thing or two about how to do what you must do. Some advice is just no good!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know very well what is expected of you, but you still wish to do certain things just because you "feel like it." Why so stubborn?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your ability to divide things up in order to analyze them -- and then divide them again if need be -- impresses the powers that be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have a great deal of work to do even after you complete a great deal of work. It's not likely to end soon -- or is it?

Your Birthday for February 02, 2017

Your Birthday | February 2nd, 2017

Born today, you can boast of a great deal of staying power, which is perhaps your single greatest asset. This trait almost guarantees that once you make a name for yourself, that name will be known and remembered for quite some time. Is that what you want, however? You can be quite a private person, choosing to keep certain things from the world at large and doing your best to protect yourself from the kind of attention that someone with your abilities and charisma naturally attracts. Still, now and then, it's nice to know that you are, in a word, "liked" -- which you are, by many people, for many reasons. Among some the esteem in which you are held achieves a level that is rare indeed, and you are able to take advantage of such opinions again and again throughout your lifetime.

Interestingly, you are at your most intense when you are quietest. Anyone who knows you well knows to steer clear when you choose to say little or nothing -- for you are channeling emotions at such a high level that it is impossible to know what might happen as a result. Once you begin talking again, everyone is able to relax!

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.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You know who holds the key to a particularly stubborn problem, but you may not be ready to ask for a favor from him or her at this time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to coordinate the efforts of many under the banner of a single endeavor -- and doing so will test your skills to the limit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Things may look a little darker than usual -- figuratively, if not literally. Your mood will respond accordingly, so avoid any conflicts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are riding a wave of ambition and purpose that has you trying things that others might simply refuse to do. Your outlook is quite positive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't make the mistake of blaming another for something that you know full well is your responsibility -- if not your fault.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Facing a difficult situation directly and honestly not only hastens healing, but also provides an example for those behind you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Be generous with those who are asking for your help. You have both time and resources to spare, and you can provide valuable assistance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you have to offer is more valuable than you might think, and others are more than willing to recognize your contribution.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Take care that you don't take up too much time or spend too much energy saying things that don't need to be said. Economize!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be bouncing quickly between a bright and positive mood and one that is holding you and others back. This phase will soon end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've been under the influence of something or someone that you cannot quite identify. It may be time to lie low for just a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've been searching the horizon for important signs, and something out of the ordinary may well catch your eye. Examine closely!

Your Birthday for February 01, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 1st, 2017

Born today, you could never be described as one who goes to extremes: You are not the most outgoing or colorful individual, nor are you the most retiring or timid. You do not always attract a great deal of attention, so others often assume you are not seeking it out, but you will go after it and get it when you think it will serve you well. For the most part, however, you are content to do your work behind closed doors, out of the limelight, sharing what you do with only a very small, closely knit circle of friends, admirers and partners. You may be well liked by many, but you're likely to be fully understood, trusted and admired by only a very precious few.

You know how to improve on what has gone before to create a new kind of aesthetic that may prove to be definitive for quite some time. You are able to pave the way for those coming after you by taking what has been done before and redoing it in a way that is stylistically yours alone. You're not a braggart, but you do like to show off your good work.

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

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- News you receive from someone in charge of a special task has you wondering if it was such a good idea in the first place. Reserve judgment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You aren't getting what you want from the usual sources, but you'll have the chance to pursue other avenues. Excitement builds.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can get far with a smile. Those who are most receptive to you will give you what you want if you maintain a positive attitude.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have trouble seeing where your current path is going to lead you -- but at least you know that you'll enjoy yourself along the way!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A blast from the past has you planning for the future in a new way, but you must take baby steps to start, and build a head of steam slowly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll realize just where you are and where you have to go. Fortunately, you're not staring at any obstacles that can't be overcome.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may finally have to cough up for something you didn't pay for long ago. You can do a better job of remembering your debts, surely!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Complicated circumstances may force you to change your specific plans for the day, but your motives can certainly remain constant.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Others are looking for you to mend your ways, but you don't see where you've gone wrong. This may be just a difference of opinion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're eager to see things resolve peacefully -- but someone may come to you with yet another grievance that is not easily answered.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've landed in a situation that seems to have you on a one-way street, but there is still time to do an about-face and save yourself!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can communicate with a friend or loved one in a new way. He or she knows how to lead you through any complicated patches with ease.
