Born today, you are a thoughtful and philosophical individual; nothing happens within a certain radius without being considered, assessed, weighed and judged by you. You are not the kind to share your thoughts and opinions with others at every turn, for you understand that doing so would not always be welcome or appropriate. When the door is opened to you, however, and you are invited to do so, you will express yourself honestly and intelligently in order to put your point across in a way that is virtually impenetrable.
You have a great deal of charisma, and you use this to your advantage whenever the situation requires it; indeed, you can change the dynamic of a room merely by entering it -- and you are able to turn heads in virtually any social situation. You are very attractive to members of the opposite sex, of course!
Also born on this date are: Ashlee Simpson, singer and pop figure; Neve Campbell, actress; Gwen Stefani, singer; Clive Owen, actor; Tommy Lee, musician; Al Sharpton, civil rights activist; Lindsey Buckingham, musician; Chubby Checker, rocker; James Herriot, veterinarian and author.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Timing is keen, but you may not be aware of what someone is doing just over your shoulder. Competition is likely to heat up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are feeling as though you are not in sync today -- but really you are settling into a fine rhythm. Others must adjust around you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- With a little help from a friend you can break through certain barriers and enjoy greater personal freedom at this time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not know why something is happening, but you surely know what it means to you -- both immediately and in the long run.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Give freely at this time, and you'll be rewarded in ways both rich and unexpected. Internal rhythms are changing in subtle ways.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others may not agree with your premise, but they cannot argue with the way you are going after results. Some critics will want to help you!
