Born today, you are one of the darker individuals born under your sign, the kind of person who may be wildly misunderstood even by those who are close to you and who claim to know you best. This may well be because you are misunderstood by yourself: you don't really know what it is that makes you tick, that inspires you, that keeps you healthy and on an even keel. You trust to chance more than anything else to direct your thoughts, feelings and daily travels.
You may often be mistaken for a Gemini native, for you seem to be comprised of two very distinct personality "halves" -- and each competes with the other daily for dominance. One, of course, is deeply private, and thrives on solitude and the company of only a handful of dear ones; the other thrives on the energy provided by friends and, perhaps, by the public at large.
Also born on this date are: Rihanna, singer; Kurt Cobain, singer and musician; Sidney Poitier, actor, director, diplomat; Charles Barkley, basketball player; Cindy Crawford, supermodel; Ansel Adams, photographer.
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.
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are likely to encounter someone who is making things up as he goes along -- but you needn't follow suit. Trust your methods.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are taking chances that might adversely affect those around you today -- so you must, by all means, be clear in your methods and motives.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You needn't subscribe to someone's methods today; your own should suffice -- and indeed, it's a good time to put them to the test!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Something new unfolds in a manner that pulls you in, and when it's time to back out again, you may find it difficult. A friend likely steps in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone who claims to know you quite well makes the wrong call, and it will be up to you to set things right. There will be time for talk later.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Pay attention to all the indicators that are available to you today; there is much going on around you of which you are only marginally aware.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You've been putting things off long enough, and today grants you a unique opportunity to catch up on your responsibilities with little risk.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Certain hazards will be unavoidable today, so why do anything that will increase the likelihood of endangering yourself? Play it safe.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not be enjoying the kinds of benefits you expected in the wake of certain recent efforts -- and remedying the situation is up to you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone may be trying to shock you into doing what goes against your nature, and you're having none of it! It's time to walk away.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can enjoy something today that you last enjoyed a long, long time ago. This doesn't mean, however, that you should overindulge.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Once the wheels are turning, it will be quite difficult to stop them again; you must be sure that forward motion is desirable right now.
