HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Feb. 20, 2012: This year you will tend to walk to your own beat. Others find you to be most appealing and gentle, yet also a bit odd. If single, you need to be more open to someone who will appreciate you. If attached, plan a special vacation together. Aquarius reads you cold. A baby born today has a Sun in Pisces and a Moon in Aquarius.
