Today's Birfdays: February 12

The famous peeps born today definitely personify the mold-breaking, convention-defying, social-commenting Aquarius archetype. Incidentally, 212 is one of my lucky numbers.

Ethereal Aquarian and Hollywood veteran Christina Ricci is only 26 but so obviously an old soul.

Twisted-genius director Darren Aronofsky, 37, has also amassed quite the body of work for his age. Come to think of it, he might be a good match for Miss Ricci -- if not romantically, at least they'd make one sick movie together.

The Doors' Ray Manzarek has experienced his share of Aquarian rebellion and mind expansion but is still around to ring in his 67th.

Although she is now 68, author Judy Blume will always be inextricably linked in my mind with the onset of menstruation.

Few individuals so completely embody the Aquarian values of progressive, egalitarian, humanitarian thinking as Abraham Lincoln, who would have been 197 today had his life not been tragically cut short. Well, okay, maybe not, but a lot of what he said still feels totally contemporary and relevant. Like all the most evolved Aquarians, he was a way-ahead-of-his-time thinker.
