Your Birthday for March 04, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 4th, 2014

Born today, you are a strong, resolute individual, wholly capable of holding your own even when your ideas or actions run against the grain. You are not the kind to buckle under pressure when you think you are in the right, no matter how strong or aggressive the opposition to your position or ideology may be. You hold fast, confident that you would not believe as you do if it were not the right thing to be thinking! There is, of course, a certain cockiness to this belief, and it may in fact fail you now and then -- for anyone may be wrong once in a while, and this is something that you must learn to accept. When your back is against the wall, you can become quite aggressive in self-defense.

No matter where your work may take you or how much success you may find in distant lands, you are always compelled to return home sooner or later, for you thrive on the kind of comfort, familiarity, and ease that only comes to you on the home front. There will always be a place in your heart for family and old friends.

Also born on this date are: Antonio Vivaldi, composer; Knute Rockne, athlete; Paula Prentiss, actress; John Garfield, actor; Steven Weber, actor; Dav Pilkey, author and illustrator.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you say must come from the heart; anything that is too heady is likely to be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Focus on details. The big picture is sound and solid, but the minutia will require a bit more attention than usual.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Confidence is high, but it must not be allowed to soar to such heights that you become overconfident. Be realistic at all times.

Your Birthday for March 03, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 3rd, 2014

Born today, you have been endowed with tremendous will and drive. Because you are so resolute in your decision-making and subsequent actions, there is virtually no limit to the number of things you can get done in your lifetime -- provided, of course, you follow a path that provides you with opportunity. Even you cannot create opportunity out of whole cloth, as if by magic! You can be so aggressive that you may, at times, be rather off-putting to those around you; you are willing to speak your mind at any time. Indeed, it's likely that your disarming honesty and willingness to speak openly about any subject will take others by surprise on many occasions.

Whether you are recognized for being at the top of your chosen field or you merely work hard to accomplish personal goals with little thought for what the world thinks, you are destined to be content and enjoy success as you define it. You never let yourself be trapped by common notions.

Also born on this date are: Jessica Biel, actress; Alexander Graham Bell, inventor; Herschel Walker, football player; Jean Harlow, actress; Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Olympic athlete; James Doohan, actor; Miranda Richardson, actress.

TUESDAY, MARCH 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care that you don't take on more than you can accomplish in a single day's time. Right now, completion is an important factor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You take something for granted that may, by day's end, no longer be yours. Then you'll know what it was worth! You can prevent the loss.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A cloudy, uncertain issue is clarified somewhat by someone new on the scene. He or she knows how much you have at stake right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Energy is high, and inspiration is likely to come to you quite readily throughout the day. It's a good time to implement plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to receive that last piece of information that allows you to put together an accurate picture of your immediate future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can make a bad situation a good deal better simply by doing what comes naturally. Don't let a naysayer hold you back.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be experiencing something of a decline -- but of what, and why, may be something of a mystery. The feeling is genuine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can't argue with someone else's preferences, so don't waste any portion of the day with such futile behavior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have something that others do not, but it is bad form to lord it over them. Play fair at all times.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may require a change of scenery in order to be fully energized. You want to see things in a new light, from a new perspective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone in a position of authority is ready to give you the assistance you need -- but he or she cannot afford to be seen playing favorites.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll want to spend some quality time at home, perhaps healing a rift that may have formed as a result of a recent misstep.

Your Birthday for March 02, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 2nd, 2014

Born today, you can boast one of the strongest wills of anyone born under your sign, but you aren't likely to do so. The reason is that you are also one of the most modest individuals born under any sign, so you aren't ever likely to be caught boasting about anything at all. You go about your business in a confident yet realistic fashion; you know that no matter how good you may be at a given thing, there will always be something to learn and someone who is a little bit better than you are. The basics are always important to you, as building blocks of a strong and successful career, as well as of a life that brings you opportunity and contentment.

You are likely to carve a professional niche for yourself in an honest, straightforward manner. You behave much the same way in your personal affairs; you strive to be honest, fair and generous in all things -- particularly when it comes to love. Where the heart is concerned, you are more a giver than a taker.

Also born on this date are: Daniel Craig, actor; Jon Bon Jovi, singer and actor; Dr. Seuss, children's author; Desi Arnaz, actor, producer, bandleader; Karen Carpenter, singer; Lou Reed, singer; Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet leader; Gates McFadden, actress; Jennifer Jones, actress; Mel Ott, baseball player; Tom Wolfe, author.

MONDAY, MARCH 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be forced to face certain shortcomings whether you like it or not. Ultimately, however, a realization proves inspiring.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may feel as though the circumstances you face could quickly become overwhelming. A friend offers some sage advice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be observed by those who do not wholly appreciate what you do, or why -- and you needn't feel compelled to explain yourself. Yet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're approaching a certain endeavor far more creatively than most, which is sure to win you both praise and criticism.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to follow certain roads today; avoid getting yourself lost in terrain that cannot be confidently navigated.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can correct mistakes before they have any real effect on your progress -- or perhaps even before others notice them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll receive information that is not in sync with what you know to be true -- or have you simply been making erroneous assumptions?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must be sure that what you are hearing is accurate; you can't afford to make decisions based on outdated information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You have but a few minutes to finish what you only recently started, and today those minutes may not be easy to identify.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A complicated maneuver lands you in some hot water. Fortunately, you're not likely to take anyone with you who doesn't want to go.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Not all elements of a current endeavor are falling into place as expected. You may have to search high and low for the reason.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be able to explore your options with a new sense of freedom, but take care that you don't overdo it and burn yourself out.
