A baby born today has a Sun in Aquarius until 5:44 a.m., when the Sun enters Pisces and a Moon in Taurus.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021:
Magnetic, philosophical and empathic, you follow the beat of your own drum. This year, however, you embark on a project with others that proves very successful. Hire a manager to look after the mundane details of life, and you’ll be enriched. If single, you feel cut off from others, and this year it’s not likely you’ll commit. If attached, utter bliss, as you’ve found your twin. CANCER is as sensitive.
