Born today, you are one of those tenacious individuals who is able to hang on to what you have through thick and thin, ensuring yourself a kind of professional longevity that is rare -- even among those for whom longevity is expected. Once you get started you're likely to make a name for yourself quickly, and once you have made a name for yourself, you're not likely to fade from the scene -- even when you have to endure the kinds of slowdowns and dry spells that affect everyone at some time or another. You're always going to be around -- and there will be times in which others remark upon your "comeback" when, in fact, you never went anywhere to begin with!
You are never one to confuse love and lust -- but neither are you the kind to prefer one over the other, at least when you are young. Both are valuable to you in their way, as you are a highly sensual individual with a great deal of passion that burns at a very high heat.
Also born on this date are: Ashton Kutcher, actor; Chris Rock, actor and comedian; Garth Brooks, country singer and songwriter; James Spader, actor; Buster Crabbe, actor; Sinclair Lewis, writer; Laura Ingalls Wilder, writer; Charles Dickens, writer.
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.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be welcoming a certain amount of danger into your domestic situation without even knowing it today. Put your guard back up.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be looking forward to something new even before that old set of responsibilities has been fulfilled. Don't move too fast.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You know how to keep things in order today even when those around you are behaving in a way that invites chaos. They're not in charge; you are!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have good reason to go against the good advice that you are getting from people who have been in your position before.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You could be anticipating something that you simply cannot have -- and it's all because you have misinterpreted what someone else has said.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be able to progress at the same pace today simply because there are more obstacles in your way than usual -- large and small.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not be ready to take a leading role today, but you can certainly lend support to another's starring efforts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Take care today not to get sucked into a situation that gives you too little room to maneuver. You need a certain amount of freedom.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are likely to take on your opponent today before anyone else -- so you must be sure that you are ready as early as possible.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself wishing that you had done what someone else did today -- until you realize that he or she paid a heavy price.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A glimpse of something out of the ordinary today gives you the courage you need to pursue an idea that you thought was far too unconventional.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be approached by someone who has a certain agenda that is at once exciting and completely incompatible with your own. Use caution.
