Your Birthday for February 06, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 6th, 2018

Born today, you know the difference between the truth and a lie, between honesty and deceit, between good and bad, and you're not one to let anyone or anything shake your confidence in your views, perceptions and ideals. You are never one to offer flattery in place of the truth, for to do so would be to compromise everything you stand for and give others the advantage over you in virtually every conceivable situation. You demand that others earn your respect, and you are more than willing to earn the respect of others as well -- and once you have done so, you're not likely to lose it. You are a thoughtful, insightful and stable individual who can stand tall in the face of a challenge, even when all those around you are trying to escape. You often believe that actions speak louder than words -- and you prove it time and time again.

Though you are by nature a peacemaker who can ease tensions between warring parties like no other, you can also go to war when you have to, to protect yourself and your ideals from what is usually an unwarranted onslaught. Still, you are never vindictive; you can lay down your arms as quickly as you took them up and forgive.

Also born on this date are: Bob Marley, reggae singer and musician; Babe Ruth, baseball player; Ronald Reagan, actor, California governor and U.S. president; Axl Rose, singer; Rick Astley, singer; Natalie Cole, singer; Zsa Zsa Gabor, actress; Fabian, singer; Mike Farrell, actor; Tom Brokaw, newsman; Rip Torn, actor; Patrick Macnee, actor; Mary Leakey, paleoanthropologist; Mamie Van Doren, actress; Robert Townsend, actor and filmmaker; Aaron Burr, U.S. vice president; Haskell Wexler, cinematographer; Kathy Najimy, actress; Francois Truffaut, filmmaker.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're seeking something that may not mean all that much to others, but that doesn't mean that no one is going to stand in your way. Be ready.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must sort through information with great care today as you try to come up with an explanation for something that baffles many others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can avoid any long-term or permanent setback today simply by doing what comes naturally. You know when a thing is good or bad!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are not willing to jump on the bandwagon today, especially since you know that most of those who have are dealing in falsehoods and deceptions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You must avoid any appearance of hypocrisy today -- at any cost. If others cannot depend on you and trust your word, then you're in a losing battle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You enjoy starting your day in a manner that keeps your spirits high and your outlook positive -- but that may not be entirely possible today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your expectations may not be all that realistic today, and yet you're not yet willing to budge. What is it that keeps you on this one track?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're sure to ask some difficult questions today, and the unspoken reactions you get from others will tell you more than any answers.

Your Birthday for February 05, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 5th, 2018

Born today, you are confident that you are one of the most down-to-earth, straightforward individuals born under your sign -- so why do you often feel misunderstood? You are not, in fact, but you think you are, and that's what really counts, isn't it? You hunger for approval, which has both positive and negative effects on your various relationships.

You often wear your heart on your sleeve, and yet at the same time you can be just as often confused by your emotions -- which don't always seem to follow any sort of logic. But isn't that the point of emotions? It is imperative that you learn to say and do only what you mean, so that others are not left wondering about your true motives.

Though you are by nature sweet, nurturing, friendly, generous, and -- as suggested above -- eager to please, the fact is that you also have quite a temper. When you are angry, woe betide anyone who crosses you, for you will lash out in ways that can be dangerous both emotionally and physically. These explosions do not last long, however, and you are quick to make amends if you can.

Also born on this date are: Henry "Hank" Aaron, baseball player; Jeremy Sumpter, actor; Bobby Brown, singer; Sara Evans, singer; Michael Sheen, actor; Roger Staubach, football player; Jennifer Jason Leigh, actress; Laura Linney, actress; Barbara Hershey, actress; Christopher Guest, actor, writer, filmmaker; Red Buttons, actor and comedian; Adlai E. Stevenson II, statesman; Stephen J. Cannell, TV producer; Michael Mann, director; H.R. Giger, surrealist artist; John Carradine, actor.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are willing to do more today than you had originally planned; this is a good thing, because you'll be forced to take on more responsibility!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll receive news today that has you reeling -- but your recovery will be quick once you realize that you can stay in a position of power.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your influence is felt far and wide today. Others are ready to give you what you want -- even though what you want may be quite unorthodox.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What gives you enjoyment today may not be that which pleased you yesterday; you must be willing to learn to do something in a brand-new way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be approaching a key situation as logically as others, but your instincts are telling you more than any analysis can offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Some of your worst fears may be allayed today -- but you may still be in a position in which you are challenged in a deeply personal way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're eager to get out of a certain situation, but you realize that you cannot do it alone. You must be willing to work with a certain someone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you want may not be immediately available, so you must be willing to wait until others have come through as promised. Use the time well!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You have more than one essential tool at your disposal today; use all that you can get your hands on as necessary, and you'll surely succeed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The clock is ticking, and yet you're still not sure how a certain problem can be solved. It may be time to get an expert on the case.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What was done yesterday cannot be undone today; begin to devise a plan that can minimize any negative effects of an error.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're nearing the end of an important personal phase just as another is beginning. You'll want to do all you can to protect your well-being.

Your Birthday for February 04, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 4th, 2018

Born today, you are, by almost all accounts, the luckiest individual born under your sign, the kind who knows just how to take advantage of situations as they develop, who knows how to be in the right place at the right time, and who knows how to turn a negative into a positive and parlay that success into further progress. You are not always aware of the forces that drive you, whether internal or external, but you are more than willing to follow whatever path you are on, provided you can see the destination you desire. You think outside of the box, embrace unusual and unorthodox methods, and are always willing to take advantage of a good idea, no matter where it may come from -- and you are more than willing to give credit where credit is due. You know how to bring your personality to bear when taking advantage of a situation.

While you can be quite passionate, you often keep those emotions to yourself -- even among family members who are so eager to know what is going on with you. You don't like being vulnerable, so you don't talk about your feelings very often, even among friends and family.

Also born on this date are: Rosa Parks, civil rights activist; Alice Cooper, singer; George Romero, director; Oscar De La Hoya, boxer; Natalie Imbruglia, singer; Charles Lindbergh, pioneer aviator; Lawrence Taylor, football player; Gabrielle Anwar, actress; Clint Black, singer; David Brenner, comedian; Dan Quayle, U.S. senator and vice president; Ida Lupino, actress; Stanley Karnow, journalist and historian.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Home affairs take precedence over anything else today -- even an apparent "crisis" at work, which is not as urgent as it seems.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may want to spend less time with the usual crowd and more time with those who do not typically get enough of your attention.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be required to get on the road much earlier than usual today. Be sure that you have given yourself enough of a cushion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can do much to improve a decaying situation between friends today, even if you are not one of the contributing parties. Be ready to step in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can see things in a way that others cannot today, and that will give you the advantage -- and anyone else who chooses to follow you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can accomplish more in one sitting today than you have in the recent days or weeks. Something has simply clicked, that is certain!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can assert yourself in a new manner today, and the result -- professionally, anyway -- should please you. A family member may object, however.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't want to call it quits today until you know for sure that there is nothing more you can do to improve a certain situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A friend is eager to reconnect, and today is a good day to do just that. You must make yourself available, however!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself closer to a certain someone than you had ever planned to be -- consciously, at any rate. This offers an unusual choice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be able to explore more options than usual today, though you may find the number of choices you have somewhat overwhelming.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone may not be taking you seriously enough today, and it will be up to you to prove that you are in earnest.
