Your Birthday for February 22, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 22nd, 2020

Born today, you have been blessed with sound judgment and the ability to help others develop their own -- in their own ways -- without imposing your own specific thinking on any one subject. Indeed, fair-mindedness is perhaps your single greatest asset, and the kind of thing for which you will work in all instances, at all times, throughout your lifetime. You know how to shape the manner of thinking for others in a way that can be quite beneficial to all concerned, and yet at the same time, you never dictate how one must think -- or the conclusions one must reach.

Your inner strength is likely matched by your outward strength and abilities -- but you cannot expect your health to always be sound. When you fall ill, you must be willing to give yourself the care you would give others if the situation were reversed -- and to accept the care of others as well. You cannot get through all things entirely on your own.

Also born on this date are: George Washington, first U.S. president; Drew Barrymore, actress; Steve Irwin, naturalist; Robert Kardashian, attorney; Julius "Dr. J" Erving, basketball player; James Blunt, singer; Julie Walters, actress.

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 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Study your beliefs and ideals for a time today; you'll realize that not everything is based on something you can easily explain.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone may approach you in an overly aggressive manner today, but you shouldn't have to do much to ease any tensions that arise as a result.

Your Birthday for February 21, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 21st, 2020

Born today, you have a lot more going on beneath the surface than you usually let on, and indeed, it may become a central part of your strategy in life to seem one thing to others while truly being something else again quite different. This is not something you will have to work at; in fact, you merely have to let those around you operate according to the misconceptions they have about you.

You may suffer through several bouts of nervousness during your lifetime. When young, this is likely to have manifested itself as bashfulness -- even of a paralyzing nature. Later you will cast off this shyness, but you must always be ready to deal with your own self-made stress in ways that allow you to move forward, personally and professionally.

Also born on this date are: Corbin Bleu, actor; Ashley Greene, actress; Jennifer Love Hewitt, actress; Alan Rickman, actor; Ellen Page, actress; Kelsey Grammer, actor; Rue McClanahan, actress; Andres Segovia, classical guitarist.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You should be able to proceed according to plan today, even though some circumstances do not seem immediately favorable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Every effort you make today is likely to pay off in some small way. It all adds up, and the overall results today should build momentum.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can expect things to heat up considerably today after you accept another's terms for a competition of sorts. You must perform well!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It may be difficult for you to make ends meet today, but by making at least one rather difficult decision, you should be able to get it done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're more interested in what others have done in the past than in what you are expected to do in the future. This can provide a moment of discovery.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You and a friend make a pact of sorts, and as a result, neither of you should be in any real danger at this time. You have each other's backs!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may wake to find that you're under the weather, and though symptoms should not last long, you are best to lie low as long as you can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You should have the advantage today, but what you do with it will make all the difference. One careless moment can ruin your whole day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must observe another's boundaries today, just as you expect him or her to observe yours. Progress stems from mutual respect.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will want to steer clear of someone who insists on spreading his or her bad attitude to anyone nearby. You don't need this today!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will surely want to stand up for yourself today -- but it's more important to know when the time has come for you to back off.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You cannot afford to let people know all that is going on beneath the surface today, lest you put yourself in an overly vulnerable position.

Your Birthday for February 20, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 20th, 2020

Born today, you are not one of those who can be easily swayed by others, and you are able to remain true to your beliefs, ideals and chosen way of life even in the face of serious challenges from others who simply don't see things your way. You will have a decision to make in life, in this regard: Will you put up a fight every time you encounter someone whose ideas differ from your own, or will you simply shrug and assert that there is room in this big, wide world for all points of view?

You are a born winner, and when you first win at an early age you will develop a taste for it and strive to win at all times throughout your life. You must never, however, be a poor winner -- the kind to flaunt triumph in the face of the vanquished. You must always be mindful of the feelings of those who cross the finish line after you.

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.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A current endeavor proves more complicated than usual today, in part because you are not giving it the attention it deserves. Be sure to focus!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're interested in what others have to say, but you're not likely to change your mind merely because their opinions are intriguing to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A minor shock is best dealt with in tandem with someone who is in a similar situation. You don't have to deal with things alone today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The same old routine isn't likely to give you what you really want today -- but can you afford to set things aside and explore other options?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Jump to conclusions today and you're sure to discover that you've overstepped a few important realizations that are key to your understanding.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must resign yourself to making the best of a situation that is far from ideal. You may find that your immediate environment is a real problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must go to someone in charge today and file an official complaint. This is the only way you can effect change swiftly and permanently.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not agree with someone who occupies a position of authority, but a head-on conflict is not the ideal course to take at this time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be able to impress others today, but a friend or loved one knows that you're capable of doing much more. Why not go for broke?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to change your plans today when someone you've been counting on is a no-show. Your primary goal must remain the same.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to embrace something new today, but first you must tie up some loose ends. You mustn't let an old alliance hold you back.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have more than enough help today, provided you ask for what you need ahead of time. You can spread important information via word of mouth.
