FECHA
Saint Of The Day:

John Chapman,
better known as Johnny Appleseed.

Today is Johnny Appleseed Day, and the 150th anniversary of Johnny Appleseed's death, in Allen County, Indiana, on March 11, 1847. Chapman planted countless orchards througout rural America and as far west as the Ohio Valley.

He was also a protector of wildlife and regarded by Native Americans as a great medicine man. Model: Chapman's generous spirit. If the world is divided into two kinds of people, givers and takers, Johnny Appleseed was a giver. He never cared about making money.

He just wanted to share, and he found something good to share: red, rosy apples. What will you find to share? March 11 - John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed.

Your Birthday Today:

February 3
Day of the Flaky Realist
Aquarius

Pros
Easy-going, Perfectionist, Technical

Cons
Emotionally difficult, Unreliable, Self-indulgent

Master of minutiae. If you were born on February 3, you are the supreme master of detail and technique in your profession. Because you are ruled by the number 3 and the planet Jupiter, you are likely to rise high in your field, love your independence and would do mighty well in your own business.

You have a knack. You have a feel for your materials and a mechanic's ability to take things apart and put them together. You also seem to be in the right place at the right time in business and in love. In fact, pursuit of amore may receive much of your attention.

Commitaphobic. You are very realistic about what you can and cannot do, and are refreshingly matter of fact about your abilities. Yet as much as you have it together, you can harbor deep-seated emotional problems. You avoid intimate relationships like the plague and are often downright "commitment phobic."

So what? Who cares? You have an easy come, easy go attitude. If a situation doesn't work out, you can simply drop it and move on. Unfortunately, this makes punctuality your lowest priority. When it comes to money, you seem lucky enough to rake in the windfalls. But you can lose it just as easy. Ooops.

Situation: a bit flaky. Who needs stability and permanence in their life? Not you. In fact, your flexible lifestyle can provide a kind of security for you, crazy as it sounds. Quick to adapt, you are less likely to freak out at change and uncertainty. An understanding mate with great stability and self confidence can be of great benefit to you.

Advice : Don't give up. Fulfill your end of the bargain and don't cut your losses so quickly. A few rules are a good thing; don't dismiss them. Don't be afraid of feelings or responsibilities. We all have 'em sooner or later.
