Your Birthday for March 22, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 22nd, 2013

Born today, you aren't one to take the easy road when you know that the more difficult path is also the more legitimate and respectable one. Legitimacy and respectability are perhaps more important to you than anything else. You insist on maintaining the highest possible ideals, and you stick by your principles no matter what -- and when the going gets tough, you are indeed one of those who get going. Your reputation is important to you, and you will do what you can to preserve and protect it. You are able to be a boss or an underling, but no matter which role you take on, you will live it fully and maintain pride in yourself and your dedication.

You are something of a visionary; you know how to turn the simple germ of an idea into something real and valuable. You have good taste, and prefer higher-end goods whenever you can afford them. If you like a thing, you will learn all you can about it.

Also born on this date are: Reese Witherspoon, actress; Elvis Stojko, ice skater; Lena Olin, actress; Bob Costas, sports commentator; Andrew Lloyd Webber, composer; James Patterson, novelist; George Benson, guitarist; William Shatner, actor; Stephen Sondheim, composer and songwriter; Marcel Marceau, mime; Louis L'Amour, novelist; Chico Marx, actor and comedian.

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.

SATURDAY, MARCH 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can do much to ease tensions between two parties engaged in a conflict of ideals. You must, of course, avoid taking sides.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The help you need right now is likely to be offered by someone who is not known for his or her generosity of spirit. Things may be turning around!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can get along with almost anyone -- but today you may find it hard to find common ground with someone new on the scene.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must be ready today -- if not for anything, then surely for those things that you can imagine and anticipate. Options are numerous!

Your Birthday for March 21, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 21st, 2013

Born today, you aren't the kind to let fate control things if there is even the slightest chance that you can be in the driver's seat -- and when you are in control of things, they are more than likely to turn out exactly the way you had planned. You are always sure to dot all your i's and cross all your t's, and arrange things to suit yourself. Even small-time endeavors get your full attention, for whenever you commit to something you do so fully, and with every intention to do your best work. You always play as though the stakes are very high, indeed.

Your independence is one of your great strengths, though there are surely times in which you prefer to do things with others -- though others had better get used to the fact that when you are on their team, you will want to be the leader nine times out of 10. You have a rather large ego!

Also born on this date are: Kevin Federline, dancer; Matthew Broderick, actor; Rosie O'Donnell, actress and TV personality; Gary Oldman, actor; Eddie Money, singer and musician; Timothy Dalton, actor; Florenz Ziegfeld, Broadway showman.

FRIDAY, MARCH 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The goals you set today will prove even more important tomorrow than they are right now. Give yourself time to get used to certain realities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're going to want to focus on the details today, as they make all the difference -- especially when persuasion is the name of the game.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An unusual strategy can serve you well today, though you may want to employ extra care when you're doing something you're not used to doing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're getting a bit stuck in old ways of thinking about certain key issues. What is needed now is a new and youthful approach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're in no mood to listen to the experts today, but you do need one or two key pieces of information that only they can provide.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be surprised by an offer that comes your way from an unusual source. What you're after may not be possible just yet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Patience is required today on all fronts -- especially where children and young people are involved. You can learn something from a role model.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not know anyone who can do what needs to be done, so let the search begin. By day's end, you'll be closer to a permanent fix.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You believe that you do, indeed, get what you pay for -- which is why you're willing to pay quite a bit for what you really need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You've been trying to do things a certain way lately -- but it's not "your" way. Instead of imitating another, try an original approach.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Once you get a look at the object of your desire, you're not likely to be satisfied with anything else. Is that what you want?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must strive to remember names and faces today, and quick recall will be essential when you are put to the test.

Your Birthday for March 20, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 20th, 2013

Born today, you know how to keep yourself busy and on the straight and narrow when you have your sights set on a worthy goal and you have charted a clear course to get yourself there. But when the future is less clear and you don't have something tangible and compelling to work for, you can become aimless and lazy, and even self-destructive at times. The best thing for you, of course, is to stay involved, no matter what the endeavor or what the cause. Fortunately, you have many interests and you needn't focus on just one line of work; in fact, you prefer having many irons in the fire.

You enjoy taking certain risks, but you're no daredevil; in fact, for a gambler, you can be quite cautious and careful -- and you always want to know that the odds are as strongly in your favor as possible. Still, even the slightest chance that you may not win in the end can cause you a great deal of excitement.

Also born on this date are: Chester Bennington, singer; Kathy Ireland, model; David Thewlis, actor; Holly Hunter, actress; Spike Lee, filmmaker; William Hurt, actor; Bobby Orr, hockey player; Hal Linden, actor; Fred Rogers, children's TV personality; Carl Reiner, actor, director, writer.

THURSDAY, MARCH 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you are planning may seem to be too lofty or out of touch to some, but it is very likely to have a lasting and practical effect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're not likely to get the whole benefit of another's "magic" today without being in his or her presence and seeing it first-hand.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be charged with making a decision today that proves difficult because it requires you to get in touch with your hidden side.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself going out on a limb today in support of an idea that only yesterday, perhaps, was not one you could stand behind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will have a chance to fix something that has been broken for quite some time. A neighbor comes to you and gives you an emotional boost.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've got to fix what is broken before you can put it to good use. What others want is not so different from what you want, is it?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself in a familiar situation today, but one or two details make all the difference, and require different tactics.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Now is not the time for you to take risks with your safety or your health. Longevity depends upon making some smart decisions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will have to get up to speed today on all manner of developments far from home, as they are likely to affect you indirectly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're not likely to find a lot of bargains out there today, so take care that you make only smart spending decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Cleanliness may not truly be next to godliness, but you have many reasons to keep your environment clean and tidy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Even the simplest of notions today can have a major impact on you and those around you today. Don't underestimate the mundane!
