Your Birthday for March 05, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 5th, 2013

Born today, you don't always do things in the usual ways; in fact, more often than not, you will keep your eyes open for the kind of opportunity -- or methodology -- that is downright unusual. You will jump at a chance that others will quickly pass up because it is either dangerous or simply so far out of the realm of the ordinary that it cannot be clearly conceived by them. You, however, are perfectly at home dealing with things that are unconventional, controversial, unusual and even illicit. You may, once or twice, find yourself on the wrong side of the law.

You enjoy being at the center of important affairs, and doing things that will have a lasting impact on your own life and the lives of others. You know how to use your charismatic personality to win attention and support for all manner of causes that you take very personally.

Also born on this date are: Samantha Eggar, actress; Marsha Warfield, comedian and actress; Rex Harrison, actor; Chou En-Lai, former Chinese premier; Dean Stockwell, actor.

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.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You should be able to communicate the most complex and even esoteric ideas with clarity today. You have a way with words.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be trying to grab at a prize that is not rightfully yours at this time. Soon you'll realize that you were meant for different things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be able to decipher someone else's private code today -- but if you pay attention to silent signals you'll get what you need.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's never too late for you to try a new idea on someone who is willing to be your guinea pig. You can afford to be a little more daring.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's a good day for you to assert yourself in a creative manner. By focusing on what you can make, you'll remain enthusiastic and positive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may wake today to find that things are not exactly as you had anticipated -- and your support system has undergone a few changes, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have the ability to put others in a better mood -- provided, of course, you are in a good mood yourself. Today this may not be the case!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll know who should be taking the lead very soon after getting started today. If it's not you, then be sure to remain positive and helpful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's important for you to give a good first impression today. Don't be too hasty when answering questions -- and mind your manners!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Despite your well-structured arguments against such a thought, it may be time for you to step aside and let someone else show you how it's done.

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.

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.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll have the chance to prove yourself in a new way today -- but you mustn't let anyone forget the thing you've always been able to do!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's not usually up to you to determine your final destination, but today you may find yourself calling all the shots.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may fall victim to some false advertising of sorts today, but you'll have the chance to recoup any measurable losses.

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"!
