Born today, you are likely to find yourself stumbling onto one opportunity after another in life, and it may take you quite some time to learn to apply your will to anything that happens to you on a daily basis. You don't really want to be the kind of person who complains about what is done to you; rather, you want to be the sort who boasts about what you have done. The distinction is significant, for it can mean the difference in your life between satisfaction and disappointment, between happiness and lasting discontent. You're not likely to be satisfied or content with a life of accidental episodes; you want to exert your will and develop a confident, capable autonomy.
You may not be at all what other people expect -- either at a young age, or after you have matured and developed. Indeed, you're likely to surprise most who interact with you -- for you are far more capable, in every way, than you appear.
Also born on this date are: Buddy Holly, singer; Queen Elizabeth I of England; Eazy-E, rapper; Corbin Bernsen, actor; Evan Rachel Wood, actress; Toby Jones, actor; Chrissie Hynde, singer; Julie Kavner, actress; Tom Everett Scott, actor; Elia Kazan, director; Diane Warren, songwriter; Michael Feinstein, musician.
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.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A distant relative makes it clear that many are looking to you for guidance and inspiration. What's the catch, however?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can measure the distance you have traveled in small increments or large, but you've still got to deal with where you are.
