Your Birthday for February 24, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 24th, 2017

Born today, you are never content with things as they are; you're always looking forward to what might be, could be or should be -- in your own life, and in the lives of others. You are so vastly creative and industrious that you will often have a great many irons in the fire. The trick to managing it all will be to pinpoint the thing that can really make a difference to you, whether professionally or personally. The wheels are always turning, but there may be times when you do not take the most direct path to your desired destination; mere spinning won't get you there! You must always apply yourself in ways that yield results, even small ones, that can be measured, analyzed and parlayed into bigger and better things in the future.

You are not usually happy staying in the same place for long, so it is likely that you will travel as much of the world as time and finances will allow. With luck, you'll manage to explore everyplace you dream of seeing! You thrive on interacting with all manner of creative individuals; you don't care where a good idea comes from, as long as it can be put to good use.

Also born on this date are: Billy Zane, actor; Steve Jobs, computer mogul; Kristin Davis, actress; Abe Vigoda, actor; Edward James Olmos, actor; Barry Bostwick, actor; George Thorogood, singer and musician; Mark Moses, actor; Chester Nimitz, military leader; Joe Lieberman, politician; James Farentino, actor; Mitch Hedberg, comedian.

Your Birthday for February 23, 2017

Your Birthday | February 23rd, 2017

Born today, you appear to be a quiet and thoughtful individual. But, like so many others born under your sign, you harbor burning passions beneath the surface, which you will always have to channel carefully if you want to keep from being led this way or that, uncontrollably, by your emotions. Your best bet is to use those passions in some professional arena; in that way, you will always have the opportunity for self-assessment, as well as a healthy, creative, productive channel for your emotions. If they are allowed to boil over without thought or practicality tempering them in any way, you are likely to have a difficult time of it in life, to be sure, and others may find you quite hard to deal with as well.

You are able to express yourself in a grandiloquent fashion, yet you are perhaps most effective when it comes to the "grace notes" -- those specific flourishes that are uniquely yours, that allow you to connect with others in a way that no one else can. Indeed, it's always the details that make the difference with you in the long run.

Also born on this date are: Dakota Fanning, actress; Emily Blunt, actress; Peter Fonda, actor; Kelly MacDonald, actress; George Frederick Handel, composer; Howard Jones, singer-songwriter; Victor Fleming, director; Niecy Nash, actress; Aziz Ansari, actor and comedian.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The more questions you ask, the more likely you'll be to hit upon an answer that will explain what is going on with you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You've got a choice to make before the day is out. As it affects those around you more than yourself, you cannot make it all on your own.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your performance may feel subpar, but someone who has been watching you for some time thinks that you're really coming into your own.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Quality is a concern, but if you trust in a partner who knows what you're after, you should have little trouble raising the bar.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You don't want to be farming out any important tasks, so be sure to prioritize. Get some rest so you can avoid running out of steam.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The wheels are likely to be turning all day long, but that doesn't mean that everything you do will be productive. Focus your energies.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will receive a promise that surprises you, but it also has you considering a few options that were not on the table even yesterday.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be unusually self-indulgent, but there's room for that right now, surely. Others may criticize, but that needn't bother you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your mood is likely to be much better than it was yesterday, and your outlook much brighter. A physical symptom is subsiding.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There are some who want you to stick around for a very long time, as you provide something that no one else can. Are you able to oblige?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you envision, you can make real. Give someone you love a hint as to what you're trying to do; perhaps he or she can lend a hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You seem to know best what everyone around you should be doing, but you are at a loss when it comes to your own purpose. Why is that?

Your Birthday for February 22, 2017

Your Birthday | February 22nd, 2017

Born today, you are not one to wear your heart on your sleeve. Indeed, others may misinterpret you completely because they are able to project their own thoughts and feelings onto you, so stoic and unrevealing is your demeanor. This doesn't mean, however, that you do not feel strongly about things -- on the contrary, you are one of the most passionate people born under your sign -- but you have been endowed with the special ability to conceal your passions. Indeed, it is only when you are angry that others are given a glimpse into the bubbling private emotional world in which you truly live. You can explode with volcanic force when angered, and woe betide anyone who stands in your way when that happens!

Your ability to keep things in order, to juggle many responsibilities and to inspire those around you will surely go far toward shaping your professional life and success. While you do not go out of your way to be in charge of others, such responsibilities will fall to you again and again, so adept are you at gathering disparate forces under a single banner.

Also born on this date are: George Washington, U.S. president; Drew Barrymore, actress; Steve Irwin, zoologist; Robert Kardashian, attorney; Jeri Ryan, actress; Julius "Dr. J" Erving, basketball player; Thomas Jane, actor; James Blunt, singer; Julie Walters, actress; John Mills, actor; Edward Kennedy, politician; Robert Young, actor; Sparky Anderson, baseball manager; Sheldon Leonard, actor and producer; Jonathan Demme, filmmaker; Michael Chang, tennis player; Rachel Dratch, actress and comedian.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Put yourself in another's shoes for a time, and you'll come to a realization that can propel you forward at a quicker pace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your ability to see through any sort of deception will prevent you from falling prey to someone who is out for anything he or she can get.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may run across someone who shares your enthusiasm, but not your preferred strategies or methods. You can still collaborate well!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Focus on the big picture and trust that the details will work themselves out. It may be time for you to make a dream come true.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Something you do for the first time will prove to be quite inspiring in a way that is both surprising and useful. You'll want to do it more!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Accompanying a friend or loved one on a journey of necessity can make everything more palatable -- especially when you get lost.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- One mystery is solved, but another looms ahead. You can use what you learned while working out the first one to get a handle on the second.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can turn fantasy in to reality, provided you share your desires with the right person. You know precisely who that should be!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself in something of a quandary as you try to decide between two options of equal value. Make a list of pros and cons!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to come in from the cold -- figuratively, at least. You need to feel safe and protected without shutting off your emotions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you have to gain and what you have to lose are not entirely in balance right now, so you must make adjustments before the day is out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A friend will give you romantic advice that you're not sure you should take. Circumstances require taking some unusual action.
