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 10

Day of Acclaim
Aquarius

Pros
Individual, Self-confident, Empathic


Cons
Nervous, Isolated, Removed

Numero uno. If you were born on February 10, you have a hunger to be appreciated-- by those around you and even pillars of society. Ruled by the number 1 and the Sun, you like to be first and will manipulate your environment to get there.

Love it or leave it. More advanced February 10 people manage to achieve popularity without trying too hard and looking like a game show host. In fact, you probably don't change your ways just to get recognition. You're not combative; you're just confident that your way works. Unfortunately, others may see you as stubborn and inflexible. (You may have to find a mate who loves you despite these quirks.)

Your feet on the ground. You can stir the emotions of those around you but are not as free with your own feelings. You put much time and energy into impassioned efforts but remain slightly detached. This leaves you more objective, however, and may contribute to your success. You keep a level head and know not to get carried away.

Step aside. You must learn to not always make yourself the center of attention. Let others have a chance and pass on what they know. You might learn something. Often February 10 people get so wrapped up in their lofty endeavors and goals that they forget the people and little things around them. You may battle for the highest acclaim, only to find it's lonely at the top.


Advice for the popular ones: It's never to late to mend bridges and reach out. You have plenty of empathy, you just have to look in the right direction. Sharing and sacrificing are things you should work on.
