Born today, you are not always the first to be noticed, but once you get working on a project, you are likely to attract a great deal of attention for your confidence and the influence you exert over others in ways both large and small. You may, when young, fear being overlooked, but as you grow older, you will realize that this is merely an insecurity that you can quickly discard, like an old coat that no longer suits your style, taste or physique. When it comes to doing what is important and has to be done, you can be counted on to be on the front lines, getting it done in a way that is recognized as uniquely your own. You can weather criticism quite well, which is good, because you're likely to get more than your share.
The support you give others in your life is of a kind they are unlikely to find elsewhere, and when you have pledged your loyalty to someone, it is undying. You will work tirelessly for a person or cause that you have embraced, and you will not give up until you have reached your goal. You will, as they say, die trying.
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; Jim Bridger, trapper and scout.

TUESDAY, MARCH 17
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be blissfully unaware that others are trying rather desperately to get in touch with you right now. Be available when you can.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's now or never, and you've known this deadline would soon be upon you. You should be able to muster the courage you need.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Focus on those things that are most familiar to you, as they will give you some comfort in moments of unusual stress.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Once you get started, you're not likely to stop until you have checked off every item on your to-do list. Or is there still one more?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Only you know the right answer to the question most people around you are asking. Are you ready and willing to share it?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your usual mode of communication may fail you for a time. Your choice is simple: Stay out of touch, or try something new.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're going to have to communicate with others to be sure that everything is in place before you start a new and important project.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be carrying the majority of the load throughout the day, be it physical, mental or emotional. Others can trust only you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your reaction when all is said and done is likely to be priceless. Others will surely appreciate that you're taking things so seriously.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're gravitating slowly toward those who share more than mere outlook. Indeed, your work will soon be almost entirely in sync.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you thought would be a group effort proves to be nothing of the kind, and you're left holding the bag. Avoid resentment!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may find yourself behaving in a more self-conscious manner than usual. The reason will soon be clear -- and should soon pass.
