Born today, you want to be seen in one light, when you live most of your life in another, or at least trying to separate your public persona from your private one. This may cause confusion among those who do not know you well, because they will no doubt hear stories of your private life that seem to give the lie to the way they see you and know you -- and so it does, for the one could not be more different from the other in ways both subtle and profound.

You can be rather accident-prone, and especially in your youth you will likely have suffered more than your share of bumps, bruises and scrapes. And why is this? Perhaps it’s because you don’t really give much thought to the dangers that might lie before you, preferring instead simply to forge ahead, come what may.
Also born on this date are: Ice-T, actor and rapper; Vera-Ellen, dancer; John McEnroe, tennis player and commentator; Sonny Bono, singer and politician; Levar Burton, actor; Hugh Beaumont, actor; William Katt, actor; James Ingram, singer; Margaux Hemingway, model and actress.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Work is likely to see the spotlight trained on you for a while today, whether or not you like it -- but you can learn to like it and use it!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can impress others with actions that seem to be entirely improvisational, but you’ve actually put a lot of work into preparing them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’re not likely to receive a lot of praise today, but there are surely those who will appreciate what you do -- and your motives, too.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Though you may have made some very strict rules for yourself lately, today you may have to make an exception or two to accommodate another.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take care that others don’t goad you into saying something you’ll regret. Control your emotions today; do what you must to stay above the fray.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be looking forward to a certain opportunity, but know that it’s not likely to present itself as expected. Be ready for a surprise or two.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A mild-mannered approach will be expected from you today, but you can get greater results by doing something quite out of character.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The “what” is not as important as the “why” today -- and you’re going to have to dig deeper than usual to come up with the answer to that one!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your success is not dependent upon anyone else’s idea of good or bad luck, but rather upon your idea of what is timely and appropriate.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is no time to be uncertain, especially when it comes to your responses to another’s challenges. Be confident, but not overdramatic.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your privacy will be dear to you today, as others will want to get close to you for all kinds of reasons that don’t mean much to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to step up and prevent someone from doing something that might trip up a friend, partner or family member. Make it count!
