Your Birthday for March 20, 2014

Your Birthday | March 20th, 2014

Born today, you can be a rather emotional individual. While this may not always be an advantage for you, the fact is that you can learn how to make this aspect of your personality pay off handsomely in certain professional endeavors. The trick, of course, is to choose the right one! The opposite is also true, of course: You must learn to control your emotions when you find yourself in situations that require a more stoic demeanor. If you don't, you are sure to bring about a great deal of hardship; you may even cause harm to others in the process. Ultimately, however, it's all about balance and knowing yourself. If you behave according to a firm set of principles, then all should be well.

When it comes to rules, you may not always have what it takes, for you may be tempted to break the rules simply for the sport of it -- a course of action seldom to be recommended! Fortunately, you are more than willing to fess up when you have been found out; you are nothing if not responsible and accountable in this way.

Also born on this date are: Hal Linden, actor; Fred Rogers, children's television host; Spike Lee, filmmaker; Bobby Orr, hockey player; David Thewlis, actor; Holly Hunter, actress; Carl Reiner, actor, writer and filmmaker; Kathy Ireland, model and actress; William Hurt, actor; Theresa Russell, actress; Jack Barry, game show host.

FRIDAY, MARCH 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be afforded a new perspective before the day is out -- and what you see is likely to lift your spirits and inspire you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's a good day to address issues some might call routine, but which you know to be a little more complicated than usual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may enjoy some downtime in which you can actually get a great deal done. Some things will not wait until tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have what it takes to create something special and memorable at this time. Today, all ideas are worth exploring.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be feeling under the weather, but you mustn't let it cloud your judgment or keep you from meeting a certain deadline.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be ahead of the game if you are able to check one or two things off your list before noon. Momentum can build steadily.

Your Birthday for March 19, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 19th, 2014

Born today, you harbor great talent, but you are not always certain that you are doing the best you can with it. Indeed, there may be times in your life when you get derailed and lose sight of your primary objectives, the risk being that you will spend a great deal of time simply spinning your wheels. But when you focus and dedicate yourself to growth and development, it will be a rare thing to find anyone more capable and more accomplished than yourself. Indeed, once you hit your stride, you're likely to work constantly at the thing you love most -- until you choose to make a change and try something else.

You are not always the first person to share your opinion, but when you do, you can almost always be counted on to do so in a way that commands the attention of those around you. Indeed, when the time comes to stand up and be noticed, there are few better than you at making the most of the opportunity!

Also born on this date are: Bruce Willis, actor; Glenn Close, actress; Wyatt Earp, law enforcement officer; Ursula Andress, actress; Patrick McGoohan, actor; Harvey Weinstein, filmmaker; William Jennings Bryan, politician.

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.

THURSDAY, MARCH 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can clarify issues that have been confusing to many. What you offer is more than information -- it's confidence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll get the answers you need, but perhaps not as quickly as you had hoped. The route to the truth has unexpected twists and turns.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must follow a clear course if you're going to reach your goal. Now is no time for guesswork or dead reckoning.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Not everyone is likely to understand what you mean -- on the surface or on a deeper level. Some secrets are worth keeping.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can illuminate a certain issue in a way that allows others to see it as if for the first time -- and understand it fully, too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not want to reveal everything to a new partner, but you're going to have to demonstrate trust in some way before the day is out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have a mystery to solve, and you're going to get the information you require, one small piece at a time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You won't be dealing in black and white, but in shades of gray. The subtleties may require a good deal of study.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to alter your approach ever so slightly, but in that small change lies the solution to a very big problem.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take care that you're not overcomplicating what should be a very simple and straightforward proposition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're tempted to go it alone, but be warned: Certain dangers are best tackled in tandem with a partner as skilled as you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to feel as though you are going around and around and not coming to any real conclusions, but you are spiraling closer.

Your Birthday for March 18, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 18th, 2014

Born today, you aren't one to let others enjoy the spotlight for long before you mount a serious challenge for supremacy. You are a confident, capable individual, and you thrive on doing things under scrutiny; indeed, while others may sheepishly turn away from any opportunity to stand center stage, you would rather risk everything for your chance in that position than let the opportunity pass you by. Fortunately, you have been endowed with considerable talent, and you are likely to make the most of any opportunity to shine -- particularly in the public eye.

Also born on this date are: Adam Levine, singer; Queen Latifah, singer and actress; Vanessa Williams, actress and singer; Irene Cara, actress and singer; Brad Dourif, actor; Grover Cleveland, U.S. president; Wilson Pickett, singer-songwriter and musician; Mike Rowe, television personality; Peter Graves, actor; John Updike, author; Edward Everett Horton, actor.

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.

When it comes to creativity, you are unequaled -- at least among those born under your sign. But creativity alone is not enough, as you well know, so you are always willing to work hard to reach your goals. You are a serious and dedicated individual; you don't engage in much frivolity.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The competition is likely to heat up, but you are not yet in a position to make your move. Wait for the proper moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Doing things by the book can yield you the results you seek -- particularly if your rival thinks you will prove to be a loose cannon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Make them think you will do one thing, then do another -- that's how you can gain the advantage, at least during the first part of the day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to transfer some authority from one to another without giving up any autonomy of your own. It's a balancing act.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're not really willing to trust anyone else to take the reins, but you're not in a position to do so, either. Which option is least risky?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself in a situation that demands more in the way of instinct than usual. Quick reactions are key.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be unusually uptight today -- and for any Libra native, that's saying something! A close friend loosens the reins after noon.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your energy is on the rise. Put yourself in another's shoes, and you'll quickly determine just which path is for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It'll be up to you before the day is out to report on activities that you don't fully understand -- but you'll want to very soon!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- That which you can control will fall into place very quickly. That which you can't may prove difficult to follow or comprehend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to know the difference between the lighthearted and the serious -- perhaps even deadly serious.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to study a great deal of paperwork and fine print before you realize just what you have missed. You can make up for lost time.
