Your Birthday for March 04, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 4th, 2013

Born today, you are an active individual with a driving ambition to achieve that which has never been achieved before. When you are very young, you're not likely to know where this will lead you, or to what you are most suited, so that very ambition may be a source of frustration rather than inspiration and satisfaction. Later in life, however -- and quite possibly when you are still young -- you will know just what you want to do, and this will allow you to combine energy and aspiration with natural and learned skills to enable yourself to achieve what is, in the eyes of so many others, the impossible.

You are not always as circumspect as you might be, and you think nothing of "giving things away" prematurely when you are making plans. The simple truth is that you lack any sense of secrecy or the like, and never suppose that someone else would use information you reveal against you. Still, your honesty and openness are real virtues.

Also born on this date are: Paula Prentiss, actress; Antonio Vivaldi, composer; Knute Rockne, athlete and coach; Chaz Bono, actor and activist.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TUESDAY, MARCH 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's not up to you to make the final choice, perhaps, but you may well be responsible for offering up those choices to one who is in charge.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A contest develops between you and someone who shares your outlook and ambition. What happens can be exciting for you and for onlookers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll feel good about yourself when you take advantage of the opportunity to help out a rival in need. You won't be weakening your cause!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your value will be clearly understood once all is said and done today -- but for a while it may not be clear to everyone involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- That which usually gives you the most strength may be in short supply today; be willing to do a little something extra to fortify yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may feel as though you're doing nothing new at all, but there's more to what is going on today than the "same old, same old"!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Success beckons today, but take care that you don't threaten your own progress by doing something that is purely reactive. Use your head!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have a way of doing things that will attract attention to yourself whether you like it or not -- and today that can come in handy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be in a position to help someone out with a project that is not, to date, going exactly as planned.

Your Birthday for March 03, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 3rd, 2013

Born today, you know how to attract attention to yourself -- not simply because you are an attractive sort, but because you are likely to do things that others find interesting and, for the most part, admirable. It would come as no surprise to those who know you well if you were to win many awards in your lifetime, for you seem to seek out recognition even without going out of your way. When it comes to choosing a profession for yourself, you aren't likely to take the advice of others lightly -- though you're also not the kind simply to do what you are told. You know how to combine the expected with the unexpected in a wholly unique way.

You don't like secrets, but this may be because you have one or two that you desperately wish to keep under wraps -- and so, naturally, the whole concept of secrets is one that makes you uneasy! Still, you may be making a mountain out of a molehill; what you are trying to hide may not be that important to others!

Also born on this date are: Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Olympic runner; Jean Harlow, actress; Jessica Biel, actress; Perry Ellis, designer; Alexander Graham Bell, inventor; James Doohan, actor.

MONDAY, MARCH 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The relationship that is developing between you and a co-worker may give others reason to pursue similar connections in their lives.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You know how to wield authority with grace, while still getting things done in an efficient manner. You inspire loyalty.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A homecoming of sorts gives you a good reason to reflect on what has been -- and on what may be, if you continue along the same course.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The promise of something fun and lively has you changing plans and heading in a direction that is unusual for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You and a partner may have to agree to disagree today, though you are both after the same things. The difference lies in method, not motive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What goes on around you today can serve as inspiration or distraction, depending upon how you look at it -- and which you need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll receive news today that may have you rethinking a current plan. In the end, however, you'll have good reason to stay on course.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will want to be sure that the information you receive today is up to date and accurate before you act on it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone is likely to come to you today with a far-fetched idea, but there is something about it that inspires you to lend your support.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You won't likely have time to sugar coat your reactions to another's work today. Make sure you say only what you mean and no more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll have more than one question about another's behavior today, but now may not be the time. You'll have the opportunity at a later date.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be surprised by what happens as a result of one of your knee-jerk reactions. Someone may say, "I told you so"!

Your Birthday for March 02, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 2nd, 2013

Born today, you are quite adept at knowing what is going on with the people around you, and quick to jump to their assistance if you sense it is needed. There are times, of course, when your help may not be wanted or asked for -- and you must also know when it is best to steer clear of a situation for fear of making things worse! Still, you seem to have a knack for reading warning signs that are hidden from others' view, and for anticipating dangers that others may not know are just around the corner. For these reasons, you seem to be rather fearless -- which can surely help you achieve much in life.

You are not one for pretense of any kind; you prefer to deal in that which is honest, genuine, true and accessible -- to you and to those around you. Communication is, to you, one of the most important things in life, and you insist that the doors of communication stay open.

Also born on this date are: Jennifer Jones, actress; Karen Carpenter, singer; Jon Bon Jovi, singer; Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet president; Desi Arnaz, actor and bandleader; Lou Reed, singer; Dr. Seuss, author.

SUNDAY, MARCH 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Past experience will surely come in handy today as you begin to answer someone else's questions that are similar to your own.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not yet understand just what someone else is trying to do, but when you do you'll know just how to react.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Discussions you have with those in charge today will gain you only so much pertinent information. Investigate on your own.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll receive advice from someone older and more experienced than you -- but it is your enthusiasm that will really win the day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's a good day to pursue your agenda whole-heartedly. You may not get everything you want, but you'll now be on another's radar.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Sharing what you know with others can propel a project forward, but some people around you may not be able to absorb it all just yet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your natural tendencies will lead you toward a new kind of opportunity today. You will have more than one important choice to make.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- While you are chasing down one lead today, you'll come upon one or two other clues that may well change the whole course of your search.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You could use a little kindness from a friend or loved one today -- but the timing will make all the difference. Be as available as possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you have to offer can make a difference to those around you, but someone may doubt that you are truly on the up-and-up.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Two seemingly unrelated events are likely to prove closely connected when all is said and done. You bring a lot to the table today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What you find today may set you off on a journey both of discovery and of accomplishment. You'll be working closely with others.
