Born today, you are not one to heed warnings given to you by those who are habitual naysayers; you will almost always do the very thing that they tell you not to do! You will, however, listen to those who share with you a certain adventurous spirit; those who are willing to give things a try despite any potential for failure are those with whom you are more than willing to do business on a daily basis. You want to surround yourself with people like you and tend to ignore others. This can be a strength and a weakness, however.
You may, at some point in your life, be something of a moneymaking machine! Take care, however, if you make too much too soon; if you don't learn how to balance the freedom money gives you with the certain responsibilities required to keep it, you may lose all that you have gained!
Also born on this date are: Bob Marley, reggae musician; Babe Ruth, baseball player; Ronald Reagan, 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, anthropologist; Robert Townsend, director; Aaron Burr, U.S. vice president; Kathy Najimy, actress; Francois Truffaut, director.
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.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can maintain control of your own activities in your own surroundings, but once you step into "foreign" territory, much is going to change.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your instincts can keep you on the straight and narrow today, preventing you from being influenced negatively by a certain someone.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find yourself in a position that allows you to assert yourself in a new way. This can be a very productive moment of discovery for you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may choose to do things on a larger scale than you have in the past. You'll attract some criticism, but most people will be supportive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be feeling an unusual pull in a new direction today. One friend gives you a warning; another encourages you to branch out.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Pressure mounts, but you are in a position of authority and can do and say what you must in order to maintain your current situation.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your mood swings needn't get in your way today; you should be able to proceed according to plan even while you surprise yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are ready for the attention you're likely to get, but even you will have had enough by day's end. You'll know how to escape it!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be confused by someone else's unpredictable behavior. That which is most unexpected can prove most valuable to you in the end.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must be willing to keep a secret today if you want to avoid damaging your reputation in any way. Someone balks at a suggestion.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- If it's practice you need, it's practice you can surely have -- and it can be more fun and productive if you take a friend along.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're trying to put a plan in motion without having taken care of one of the most basic preparatory steps. Go back and see what you missed.
