Your Birthday for February 28, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 28th, 2018

Born today, you are a positive, lively, altruistic and sometimes stubborn individual who chooses at all times to do precisely what feels right and nothing more -- or less. You are able to light up a room simply by entering it, and the changes you make to the dynamics of any group are almost always for the better -- and very likely permanent. Some may be critical of your influence over others, asserting that you cannot leave well enough alone, but the fact is that you do not try to be influential -- you just are, and others had better learn to deal with it! You have a rare kind of energy that refuses to be diffused, and your character is quite irresistible to many. You are most often balanced, fair and easygoing, but there are times when you might find yourself out of kilter and rather impossible to deal with.

Whether you have money or not, you will always live your life according to the same central guiding principles; riches have no effect on your personality or behavior, and you will always have your feet on the ground no matter how much money you may make. You are realistic and know nothing lasts forever; you are always appreciative of life's rewards.

Also born on this date are: Bernadette Peters, actress and singer; Gilbert Gottfried, actor and comedian; Ali Larter, actress; Gavin MacLeod, actor; Robert Sean Leonard, actor; Mario Andretti, auto racer; John Turturro, actor; Rae Dawn Chong, actress; Charles Durning, actor; Zero Mostel, actor; Tommy Tune, actor, dancer, choreographer, director; Kelly Bishop, actress; Bugsy Siegel, mobster.

Your Birthday for February 26, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 26th, 2018

Born today, you are one who takes getting used to, as those who meet you are not always favorably impressed. You may even actively rub some people the wrong way at first. In time, however, those who don't simply turn away from you are likely to come under your unique spell -- which depends upon others recognizing the real you beneath the surface. This may take a while, of course, and you have the patience to wait it out -- but it also means that you may, at any given time, have only a handful of real friends whom you can count on through thick and thin.

You are a natural explorer, and you thrive on pursuing those goals that are uncommon and challenging -- physically, emotionally and psychologically. You can endure tremendous hardship of all kinds as you seek to be the best that you can be -- which is likely to be quite different from what others think you should be!

You often find yourself down in the dumps; try as you might, you are not always able to lift yourself up and carry on without the help of a friend or loved one. He or she knows just what you need to hear to help you recover from your darker moods -- and you must always show your gratitude for such dedication!

Also born on this date are: Johnny Cash, singer and songwriter; Erykah Badu, singer; Michael Bolton, singer; Jackie Gleason, actor and comedian; Fats Domino, musician; Victor Hugo, author; William Frawley, actor; Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild West showman; Tony Randall, actor; Robert Alda, actor; Ariel Sharon, Israeli leader; Betty Hutton, actress.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may find yourself engaged in a kind of guessing game with someone who thinks he or she knows you well. You have a surprise up your sleeve.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone thinks that you're going about things the wrong way, but your track record supports your attitude and your approach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have the chance to play "hero" today for someone who is suddenly in need of rescue. You're in the right place at the right time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may make more than one mistake today, but only one is likely to haunt you in the future -- unless you take immediate action! Don't wait!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you're waiting for isn't likely to materialize today, but you'll certainly learn a thing or two about patience. Focus on what you have now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't want a certain something to get out, but keeping it a secret is likely to attract the wrong kind of attention. It's a dilemma!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take care that you don't let something get under your skin that matters very little to anyone else. This is something you have to work out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are waiting for someone to spell something out for you, but you can't wait forever. It'll soon be time for you to get on with things!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're waiting for a decision from someone in charge, and you're thinking there must be something to do to speed things up. There isn't!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The attraction between you and someone else may heat up quite suddenly. Take care that you don't make unwise decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Tension between you and a good friend can be eased today if one of you will simply choose to let bygones be bygones. It may be your turn!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can score an important first, but not everyone will be as impressed with you as you are today. Don't let your critics get you down!

Your Birthday for February 25, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 25th, 2018

Born today, you are likely to make quite a name for yourself, whether you are doing what you are told or taking the initiative and doing something new and previously untried. You are no stranger to difficulty, and you will take on very complicated tasks again and again in life. Are you drawn to them? Perhaps -- but it's far more likely that you are simply willing to do what others may not be. As a result, you find yourself doing the dirty work more often than not. Though you may have lofty aspirations, you recognize that only through hard work -- and the completion of often unpleasant tasks -- will you truly progress in life, especially where your professional development is concerned. You are confident that you will get where you are going and make your dreams come true, but you know that you're going to have to work hard in the process, and take on some unsavory tasks now and then.

Win or lose, you always maintain the highest possible ideals -- and you're never one to begrudge another a victory over you if the contest has been waged honorably. Only when you feel you have been cheated in some way will you react negatively -- but that's not likely to happen often. Others usually treat you fairly and with respect.

Also born on this date are: George Harrison, musician, songwriter, former Beatle; Sean Astin, actor; Chelsea Handler, comedian, actress, TV host; Tea Leoni, actress; Jim Backus, actor; Nancy O'Dell, TV personality; Pierre-Auguste Renoir, painter; Anthony Burgess, writer; Sally Jessy Raphael, talk show host.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Do not stray from your current path, or you will encounter dangers for which you are not at all prepared. Stick to the familiar today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be asked for your opinion today, but you know that all will benefit from knowing where you stand -- so by all means speak up!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can enjoy working in a group far more than usual today, while solitary activities may leave you rather unenthusiastic and listless.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not get the thanks you feel you deserve for helping someone in need -- but is that really why you helped out in the first place?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't let anyone intrude on your private time today; it's very important for you to protect any moment that allows honest self-reflection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can anticipate much that others do not foresee, but how much that actually helps you depends on what you do as a result.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Just because you have made a firm decision doesn't mean it will begin to pay off right away. You must take steps that others will not.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Forget the facts today and you risk a move that makes your whole house of cards crumble. It's time to be dealing in clear realities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What you do today is likely to rub others the wrong way -- until they recognize the method to your madness, and jump on the bandwagon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to shake your head and wonder at the cause of another's inexplicable behavior, but don't let yourself get caught up in it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Just as you aren't one to take things personally, you can help another overlook a recent slight. You two can take the high road together.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have trouble communicating with someone much younger than yourself today -- but you can also learn much about the current jargon.
