Your Birthday for March 14, 2013

Your Birthday | March 14th, 2013

Born today, you are one of the most sensitive and emotional individuals born under your sign, but you are certainly not the type to telegraph those feelings to others in an indiscriminate manner. On the contrary, most of the time other people have no idea just how deeply you are affected by what is said and done around you, as you are so guarded and able to keep your feelings close to the vest. What is most important to you is that you have some kind of outlet whereby you can let off steam and release any pent-up feelings without embarrassing yourself or others.

Your passions are sure to help you achieve great things in life, for the more strongly you feel about a given endeavor, the better you are likely to perform. It is not likely you will ever do something that you do not feel passionate about -- at least not in the professional arena.

Also born on this date are: Kirby Puckett, baseball player; Billy Crystal, actor and comedian; Michael Caine, actor; Quincy Jones, composer and music producer; Frank Borman, astronaut; Hank Ketcham, cartoonist; Les Brown, bandleader; Albert Einstein, physicist.

FRIDAY, MARCH 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've been good for quite a while, but today you may be tempted to break the rules -- albeit for a very good reason.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Something you hope is yours and yours alone may actually be something you're going to have to share -- but with someone you know very well.

Your Birthday for March 13, 2013

Your Birthday | March 13th, 2013

Born today, you know how to combine business and pleasure in a way that is unique to you, and almost always profitable and rewarding. But this is the key: That which is not profitable and rewarding is not for you, period. You're not the kind to toil away at something that isn't going to pay off in some way -- and the more remarkable the rewards, the better! You are eager to be noticed, but you're not always willing to do the work that is required beforehand; too often, in fact, you are willing to take possibly dangerous shortcuts.

You are comfortable talking openly and honestly about almost anything -- and there are times, in fact, when this may well result in some discomfort for others! You aren't a squeamish or stuffy individual, and you are able to move swiftly and easily among most types of people, even those who rub you the wrong way.

Also born on this date are: Emile Hirsch, actor; Rachael Bella, actress; Will Clark, baseball player; Adam Clayton, musician; Dana Delany, actress; William H. Macy, actor; Neil Sedaka, singer, songwriter, musician; William J. Casey, former CIA director; L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology founder; Percival Lowell, astronomer.

THURSDAY, MARCH 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to get news from a trusted source that has you making new plans -- and striving to push an agenda that some may think is unwise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're likely to need the help of a rival before the day is out -- and you know just how and when to ask for it. Don't miss your chance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The skills you have developed of late are likely to come in handy today -- and in the days to come -- but you're likely to need help.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You and only you can make peace between two conflicting parties today. What you have to offer is more than a satisfactory compromise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll find yourself in charge of a series of anticipated developments that are sure to have a resounding impact. You can't back away now!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your natural suspicions will keep you from a direct encounter with a certain danger that lies before you today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may want to take a more roundabout route to your chosen destination at this time, in order to appreciate the scenery more than usual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be able to do much more than is expected of you today -- and more than is assigned.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Teamwork is what is required today, though you may have trouble choosing just the right partner. It's a question of personality.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to put the quest for what you want on a back burner for the time being, as someone else's needs trump your personal desires.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Don't forget to demand the right price for your services today, or others are likely to think that they can get something for nothing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll come face to face today with certain realities that you cannot change, try as you might. By day's end you'll have a different plan.

Your Birthday for March 12, 2013

Your Birthday | March 12th, 2013

Born today, you may not always know what to do at the outset, but once you have received a nudge, clue, hint or timely piece of instruction, you are quick to be on your way. Once on your way, you can achieve a great deal on the merits of your own character and talents. Like so many other Pisces natives, you rarely, if ever, allow yourself to get stuck in situations that are not good for you. You have a way of wriggling out of a tight spot and sprinting to the next opportunity or episode -- and you're not the kind to dwell on what has happened in the past. You much prefer to look forward, not backward!

You know how to assess all sides of a complicated issue and come up with a view that satisfies your need to be on top of things. You don't like to feel as though others know something that you don't; you want to keep up -- and, if possible, sprint to the head of the pack.

Also born on this date are: Darryl Strawberry, baseball player; James Taylor, singer and songwriter; Liza Minnelli, actress and singer; Al Jarreau, vocalist; Barbara Feldon, actress; Edward Albee, playwright; Jack Kerouac, writer; Gordon MacRae, actor.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to reconsider a few of the decisions you've recently made after the day's events demonstrate how off-center you currently are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A simple choice becomes more difficult today when you realize just who is involved besides yourself. Your responsibilities are multiplying.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can get more mileage out of a well-tempered, even approach than with any sort of aggressive maneuvering.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The more imagination you apply to a pressing problem today, the closer you will be to solving it -- for good.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The assistance you required may have provided you with more than you had bargained for -- and as a result, you'll be in a startling new position.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Another's behavior is likely to put you behind schedule during the first part of the day. Later, on your own, you can regain lost ground.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll want to make a stand today, but you may not feel as though you are on a firm footing just yet. You'll know when the time is right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can enjoy a little more freedom today once you do what is expected of you -- and as early as possible. You can't shirk responsibility.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll be able to show others just what you're made of -- and without the need to be overly aggressive or ostentatious.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone else is likely to make that big decision for you -- and why? Perhaps it is because you waited just a bit too long.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are in need of a little quiet time -- but before you can give it to yourself, you must jump into the fray once more.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Now is no time to pass around blame; you must be willing to bear the responsibility for that which you can control.
