Your Birthday for March 07, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 7th, 2014

Born today, you are not always one to attract attention to yourself as you go about your business in a determined, methodical, honest and direct way. Indeed, this may be a factor in your career as you seek a kind of success that is elusive simply because your work sometimes goes unnoticed -- as good work often does. Eventually, however, if you stick with it, continue to dedicate yourself, and focus on process and quality rather than results and reward, you will find the success you seek. When it finally comes to you, it's likely to come by the bucketful! Once you "arrive," you're sure to stay a while!

You seem, at times, to be able to do much with little and to get maximum effect from what appears to be marginal effort -- but this is not so! You are always working hard to be the best that you can be; the truth is, it only looks easy!

Also born on this date are: Bryan Cranston, actor; Wanda Sykes, actress and comedian; Rachel Weisz, actress; Willard Scott, TV personality; John Heard, actor; Maurice Ravel, composer; Lynn Swann, football player; Peter Sarsgaard, actor; Franco Harris, football player; Daniel J. Travanti, actor; Taylor Dayne, singer; Piet Mondrian, artist; Jeff Kent, baseball player.

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 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others will be impressed by your ability to conceptualize what is, to them, vague and unwieldy. You know what has to be done.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your comments will not go unheard, but take care that you aren't so blunt or critical that you rub others the wrong way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your experience is what makes you unique, and the lessons you have learned in the process give you a unique advantage.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be addressing some important issues, even as you try to give yourself some time for reflection. It will be a balancing act.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Spontaneity will serve you well, but don't make the mistake of thinking that you don't have to prepare for anything at all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your instincts are keen and will lead you in the right direction. Be sure you are in a mental place where you can listen to them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your understanding of another's plight is the very thing that is holding things together between the two of you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be distracted by all that's going on around you, but later in the day such behavior will not be forgiven by circumstances.

Your Birthday for March 06, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 6th, 2014

Born today, you are always on the lookout for the next big thing, that thing that can propel you farther and faster toward the ultimate accomplishment or success, that thing you will no doubt be looking for throughout your lifetime. You are compelled to seek and strive -- so much so, in fact, that you don't always acknowledge when the search and effort yield results. Indeed, you may overlook some of your own accomplishments simply because you are so keen on looking beyond yourself and the here-and-now to what may happen in the future. You must learn to live more in the present if you intend to take full advantage of all the opportunities life has in store for you.

You don't always have all the answers, nor do you always ask the right questions -- but you like to act as if you do. This confidence -- or, perhaps, overconfidence -- can serve you well in certain circumstances, but it may also blind you to certain harsh realities that demand attention from time to time.

Also born on this date are: Lou Costello, actor and comedian; Shaquille O'Neal, basketball player; Michelangelo, artist; Rob Reiner, actor and filmmaker; Tom Arnold, actor and comic; Kiki Dee, singer; Moira Kelly, actress; Elizabeth Barrett Browning, poet; Alan Greenspan, economist; Kiri Te Kanawa, opera singer; Gordon Cooper Jr., astronaut; Philip Sheridan, Civil War general; Willie Stargell, baseball player.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Risks today may come in strange forms, and at strange times. You'll want to protect your head, of course, and your extremities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be going down a vey peculiar road, Taurus! It's a good day to consider the advice a loved one is giving you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your understanding of family history will serve you well, as you come up with unexpected answers to long-standing questions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to communicate in a clandestine way for part of the day, until you know your info has been imparted with no security leaks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been in the same place many times before, but this time it seems somehow different. Stick to the game plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself gravitating toward one who is doing things you have resisted doing in the past. Your perspective is changing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't want to stop doing what you're doing until it yields the results you have been anticipating. Timing is important.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your motives and methods may come under some scrutiny. You can point to the results you get, and your critics should back off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're making a big mistake if you think that the ends truly justify the means; how you do things is very important right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be at the center of something that you don't fully understand, but it can be quite enjoyable nonetheless.

Your Birthday for March 05, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 5th, 2014

Born today, you have been endowed with a remarkable sense of style and a flair for presentation that often wins you the praise and admiration even of those who are usually immune to such things. It can be said that you possess a great deal of charisma and charm, and these two traits, working in tandem, are likely to open a great many doors for you in life. You must take care, however, that you never let style take the place of substance; the former is no substitute for the latter, and you know it. It would therefore behoove you to work very hard to prove that there is, beneath the surface, a great deal of value.

You enjoy a good laugh, but you do not enjoy being the butt of anyone's jokes. You can laugh at almost anything -- but you don't like being made to laugh at yourself. This may be considered by some a weakness -- indeed, it may cause you harm even though it is normally a form of self-defense.

Also born on this date are: Eva Mendes, actress; Joel Osteen, evangelist; Andy Gibb, singer; Teena Marie, singer-songwriter; Jack Cassidy, actor; Dean Stockwell, actor; Rex Harrison, actor; Paul Blackthorne, actor.

THURSDAY, MARCH 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not know the significance of a certain message, but you can probably translate it at least on a surface level.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone is looking over your shoulder, giving you advice you think you do not need. Think again! It may offer an important option.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You know what you must do after receiving a message from afar -- and it's certainly not what you are being asked to do in the message, is it?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're in the middle of a very productive phase, yet you may still have trouble determining what steps should be taken.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can protect yourself and others better than usual, but a certain threat may still give you cause for concern, now and tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- One idea gives rise to another -- and so on. You'll enjoy feeling very productive as others around you get stuck in a rut.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're feeling unusual pressure from certain forces. As a result, you're not likely to enjoy what you've been most anticipating.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- After saying no for so long, today you may actually be able to say yes -- and enjoy what comes next far more than you had anticipated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must prepare in a way that is not obvious to your opponents. Indeed, you may want to engage in a certain planned deception.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Not everything is as it seems, particularly when you find yourself far from home. Trust in the lessons that got you there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- One thing leads to another in a way that you cannot fully control, but you can exert a certain unique influence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll find strength in standing firm. Take care that someone unexpected doesn't knock you off balance at the last moment.
