Your Birthday for March 01, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 1st, 2016

Born today, you are likely to enjoy every opportunity while you are young, and this can serve as both an advantage and a disadvantage to you as you strive to make your way in the world. The problem, of course, is that you may simply be presented with too many choices, all of which are attractive and tempting to you -- for your interests are many, and your talents just as numerous. It may take you some time, then, to decide in just which direction your life should take you -- and what professional niche you should carve for yourself. The truth is that while you may well succeed at any of a number of professions, you may only be happy if you pick just the right one -- and that may not be easy for you at any time in your life.

Also born on this date are: Ron Howard, actor and director; Justin Bieber, singer; Daniella Monet, actress; Frederic Chopin, composer; Roger Daltrey, singer; Alan Thicke, actor; Robert Conrad, actor; Harry Belafonte, singer; Javier Bardem, actor; Catherine Bach, actress and model; Glenn Miller, bandleader; Harry Caray, sportscaster; David Niven, actor; Russell Wong, actor.

You have a great deal of personal style, and when you are not working hard, you are attracting attention in other ways. Indeed, you know how to turn heads simply by entering a room: Your timing is impeccable, and your natural flair is impossible for others to overlook or ignore.

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.

Your Birthday | February 28th, 2016

Born today, you know how to connect with others, and that will prove to be the keystone of a life that is rich in endeavor, accomplishment and relationships of all kinds. You are not at all secretive -- though you certainly know when to share and when not to -- but you will surely listen to others more than you talk about yourself. What you learn from the people in your life carries through everything you do -- you are quick to learn lessons both large and small and apply them to your daily life. Ultimately, you will have many, many people to thank for helping you become who you are -- and do what you do. Your success must, of course, be shared with them as well!

Your ability to turn on a dime will surely come in handy again and again throughout your lifetime, and this innate nimbleness is widely admired. You never get stuck; you are able to jump at opportunities as they arise, and get the most out of them.
