Your Birthday for March 16, 2014

Your Birthday | March 16th, 2014

Born today, you often feel as though you have a very long way to go to get what you want, but in fact what you want is most often entirely within reach. The truth is that you lack the confidence of other Pisces natives, and you tend to make the mistake of thinking that what lies before you is not likely to be as good as what is behind you -- but this is surely not the case. You seldom let yourself respond favorably to favorable developments in your life; it could be because you fear you do not deserve to enjoy them, or it could be because you doubt that they will last. In any event, if there's one lesson for you to learn, it's this: Enjoy what comes!

You don't like to be indebted to others, but there may come a time when you ask help of others far more than you need to. This, of course, is simply another result of your insecurity. You are no stranger to personal sacrifice, and you know that sometimes sacrifice is nothing more than personal gain delayed or deferred.

Also born on this date are: James Madison, U.S. president; Jerry Lewis, actor and comedian; Erik Estrada, actor; Victor Garber, actor; Mercedes McCambridge, actress; Bernardo Bertolucci, filmmaker; Pat Nixon, U.S. first lady; Chuck Woolery, game show host; Henny Youngman, comedian and musician; Alan Tudyk, actor.

MONDAY, MARCH 17

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not think you have to do everything at just the right time, but timing is very much of the essence throughout the day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Good news comes your way, but you may still be thwarted by circumstances that have not yet shifted in your favor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The choices you have to make are many, and not all will be easy or clearly understood. Family members can and will offer guidance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll stumble upon an opportunity that may change things for the better -- and for a long, long time to come. Don't pass it up!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're trying to achieve a new level of harmony at home, but someone may be standing in your way -- and it may become a battle of wills.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your day -- and week -- begins on a note of highest expectation, though you may feel that any minute you'll suffer a setback.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are uncertain as to whether another is willing to play by your rules. Only time will tell -- and there isn't as much time as you think.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can solve a puzzle once and for all, provided a friend gives you that last necessary piece. He or she may be playing games.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your own preferences are not as important as what is best for the whole group. Like it or not, it's your call.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is the time to get down to business. Avoid repeating yourself, for there is no progress made by covering old ground.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are asked a favor by someone who has been beholden to you in the past, but that's no reason to say no. Your help is invaluable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Follow your instincts, and don't let anyone tell you that you are not a good judge of your own past -- or future.

Your Birthday for March 15, 2014

Your Birthday | March 15th, 2014

Born today, you do not always do things that are in your own best interest. Instead, you are driven by a unique kind of idealism that motivates you when your emotions are most engaged, and this can bring you face to face with very real dangers time and again. You are always working to make things better for yourself and for those around you, but there is a part of you that may at times feel you are a little bit better than anyone else in your immediate circle. Take care! This is a view that can lead you into trouble; you must never let this notion take root and become genuine.

You have the kind of confidence that makes others believe in you almost as much as you believe in yourself, and you are sure to make the most of it -- particularly when you are trying to do something that others have said cannot be done. You enjoy this kind of challenge, whether it leads to personal success or not.

Also born on this date are: Eva Longoria, actress; Andrew Jackson, U.S. president; Sly Stone, musician; Dee Snider, singer; Fabio, model; Judd Hirsch, actor; Mark McGrath, singer; Harry James, musician; Kevin Youkilis, baseball player; Jimmy Swaggart, evangelist.

SUNDAY, MARCH 16

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You needn't call on the experts to do what you know perfectly well how to do yourself -- especially in and around the home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Doing precisely what you are told may not sound like a great deal of fun, but it may be the only way you can progress as planned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You cannot expect others to put down what they are doing in order to help you with your tasks; you must be willing to wait your turn.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is a great deal to learn, and you are in a position to collect more information than usual.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The signals you receive from a loved one may seem contradictory, but in fact you are simply not interpreting them correctly just yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- This is a good day to work on the finer points of your strategy and tactics. Certain techniques may be proven outdated very soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will only get the answers you need if you ask the right questions. Don't be in a hurry! Specifics can win results.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel like things are getting backed up at this time, causing you stress that is difficult to ease. It's time to prioritize.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're in no mood for messages that are vague or uncertain. Only signals that are clear, concise and specific can do you any real good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may sense that the end of something is fast approaching, but you have a lot to do before it arrives. Now is no time for procrastination!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will realize that you know a great deal more than you have to in order to prevail -- but there is still much to learn.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can't expect things to continue at the same pace without doing something to energize what is, in fact, a deflating situation.

Your Birthday for March 14, 2014

Your Birthday | March 14th, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most creative individuals born under your sign. Much of your best work is done when you are solving problems of any kind, problems that require you to think in ways that have never been thought before. You excel at forming and refining ideas and notions that are brand new and exciting to everyone who hears of them. You are at your best when you are doing things that others have done before, but doing them your way, in a manner that sheds new light on something that might otherwise be considered routine.

You don't like busywork, and you don't like to do things merely because another has told you that you must do them. When you are excited about a project, like many Pisces natives, you will dedicate yourself to it fully -- and the results, of course, can be spectacular.

Also born on this date are: Albert Einstein, physicist and mathematician; Stephen Curry, basketball player; Billy Crystal, actor and comedian; Michael Caine, actor; Quincy Jones, music producer; Les Brown, bandleader; Hank Ketcham, cartoonist.
