Your Daily Horoscope -- February 23, 2015

Today's Birthday Horoscope: February 23, 2015 Born today, you seem to know exactly where you are going, how you are going to get there, and when you will arrive -- right down to the minute! This is true not just in the symbolic, metaphoric sense, but often literally -- you try to live your life according to a strict timetable that you have constructed for yourself to maximize gains, minimize dangers and ensure for yourself both success and lasting contentment. You believe strongly in the notion that nothing good ever happened entirely by accident; you always want to be prepared for the next eventuality so that you can take full advantage of it when the time comes.      You are one of those modern individuals who maintain ties to the past that enable you to progress in a way that displays both continuity and tremendous originality. You spend a great deal of time looking at what has been done before so that you can do it your way, better -- and you usually do your ancestors very proud.      Also Born Today Also born on this date are: Dakota Fanning, actress; Emily Blunt, actress; Peter Fonda, actor; Kelly MacDonald, actress; George Frideric Handel, composer; Howard Jones, singer-songwriter; Victor Fleming, filmmaker. Aries March 21 - April 19 You're ready to undertake something you've been planning for some time. Should you jump right in or start slowly, in a more thoughtful way? Taurus April 20 - May 20 Your emotions may be quite near the surface. Focus on any issues brought to your attention by family members and other loved ones. Gemini May 21 - June 21 You're working hard to make sense of things that don't seem to make much sense. Perhaps your efforts are being misplaced. Cancer June 22 - July 22 You may have to face several contradictory issues. In the end, you'll realize that confidence in your own beliefs wins the day. Leo July 23 - Aug 22 Avoid making impulsive decisions. Your actions must be the product of careful thought and planning, and thorough preparation. Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22 The more you let another speak, the more you will learn about his or her motives -- and how you are affected. Be content to listen! Libra Sept 23 - Oct 22 You may have to weather a barrage of criticism after doing something that others had warned you against. Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21 You're very eager to be seen in the right light. Are you willing to put your beliefs on the line? Expedience is not the issue. Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 Avoid bragging, no matter how well things go for you. It's important to let others come to their own conclusions about you. Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 You may find that someone who has been on the periphery of your professional affairs is ready and willing to play a more central role. Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18 Money matters may have your head spinning as you realize that the rules you have followed for so long aren't applicable right now. Pisces Feb 19 - March 20 You may be able to set yourself up in a position of greater authority, but what you do with that authority is really the issue.
