Your Birthday for March 03, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 3rd, 2016

Born today, you are always on the lookout for that next big thing, but this doesn't mean that you are simply hoping for a quick payoff. On the contrary, you much prefer to get in on the ground floor and work toward a resounding success from the beginning, building a strong foundation and working your way up toward a towering achievement. What you are eager to do is stake your claim to something new -- and that is what drives you. You are not all that interested in doing what others have done before you, even though you may do it better -- and certainly in your own unique way. No, you want to do what has not been done, to add to the world's cache of good ideas and accomplishments.

You are always on the move, and this may prove rather upsetting to anyone who tries to pin you down romantically -- for you're not about to alight anywhere for any appreciable length of time. Whoever captures your heart -- or whose heart is captured by you -- must be ready for a peripatetic life of near-constant mobility.

Also born on this date are: Jessica Biel, actress; Alexander Graham Bell, inventor; Herschel Walker, football player; Jean Harlow, actress; Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Olympic athlete; James Doohan, actor; Miranda Richardson, actress; George Pullman, engineer; George Miller, filmmaker.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may find yourself unable to settle differences between two parties in the way you had anticipated. Avoid a knee-jerk reaction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What is presented to you as an explanation of sorts doesn't seem to make any sense. You may want to mount an investigation of your own.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Putting yourself front and center will only expose you to criticism -- and perhaps another unseen danger. Are you ready for that?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your ability to take direction while remaining true to your beliefs will certainly hold you in good stead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't let yourself become defensive when someone begins to criticize. You can always learn something from a different perspective.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself drifting, unable or unwilling to focus on what has recently become the center of your business life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What is bothering you? Something isn't right -- that much is certain -- but what it is and how it will affect you remains a mystery.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to rely on alternative transportation to get where you have to be, and arriving on time may prove quite a challenge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will want to be sure that everyone understands what you expect, and what you will accept -- which may not be the same.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone close to you may not be able to check in regularly, but you know that he or she is well-equipped to handle any situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be trying to get something done in a highly unorthodox fashion. The results may please you, but the pace may be quite slow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There may be some confusion over official policy. You can present more than one good reason to make a change.

Your Birthday for March 02, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 2nd, 2016

Born today, you have undeniable sex appeal, yet you look upon yourself as someone who is simply doing his or her best to get through life, oblivious to how others see you in this particular light. You are far more interested in solid, long-term relationships than in any temporary fling -- though you could, of course, enjoy more than your share at any given time. The fact is, you thrive on love, not mere attraction, and you are often far too busy to distract yourself with meaningless affairs. Fortunately, you are likely to enjoy one or two serious relationships in your life, and they may help define who you are in many ways.

You do not always take care of yourself as well as you should, though you do understand the need for good health physically, mentally and emotionally. You do not enjoy working out, but you never mind pushing yourself physically in the pursuit of an important personal or professional goal.

Also born on this date are: Daniel Craig, actor; Jon Bon Jovi, singer and actor; Dr. Seuss, children's author; Desi Arnaz, actor and bandleader; Karen Carpenter, singer; Lou Reed, singer; Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet leader; Gates McFadden, actress; Jennifer Jones, actress; Mel Ott, baseball player; Tom Wolfe, author.

THURSDAY, MARCH 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be able to take advantage of a few surprise loopholes, but you must be sure that you aren't actually breaking any rules.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The money issue is likely to be front and center. Be sure that your own accounting is correct before going public.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll know something is wrong when you hear what some officials have to say. It's time for you to shout the truth from the rooftops!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Things will seem to be starting anew in some way, but you'll be able to invest past experience into your evolving assignment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's time for you to put in a good word for someone else, returning the favor he or she did for you not all that long ago.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to do something the hard way -- or go somewhere the long way -- simply to avoid an uncomfortable encounter.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be concerned about certain personal issues that seem to be popping up at the most inopportune moments. What needs to be discussed?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be filling in the blanks as others give you only partial information. What you deduce can prove quite important immediately.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- If it's quiet time you're after, you can have it, but you're going to have to make it clear to others that you must not be disturbed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have trouble today doing something that usually takes little effort and even less thought. A subtle shift is occurring.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What begins as something utterly ridiculous is likely to be transformed by your special genius into an idea that can actually work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll do what you have to do to get things done, even if you hit upon the most unconventional method imaginable.

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.

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.

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.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're eager to show someone "in the know" just how much you're capable of doing. He or she may be able to help your career.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Assess travel times carefully before deciding where you are able to go, and in what order you must hit your various destinations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must be sure to get a certain amount of work done before setting it aside to indulge in a certain favorite sideline activity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You seem to know what others are up to all around you. Can you use that knowledge to your advantage without crossing a line?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are concerned with financial matters -- and rightly so -- yet you may be just beginning a very positive new trend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be forced to watch over certain family matters from afar. Don't let yourself feel burdened; it's a responsibility you enjoy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- While you sit on the sidelines, another may be doing all he or she can to set things up favorably for you. Your turn will come!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're not likely to appreciate what someone has done for you until all the returns are in. You're much better off as a result!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your ability to wait things out as they transpire will serve you well throughout the day. You can swing into action somewhat later.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be doing what you most love to do, but a part of you wishes you could share it with a certain someone and make it even better!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can entertain others even as you instruct them. Remember, laughter is not only the best medicine -- it's the best teacher, too!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to adjust your schedule to accommodate a few unexpected developments that affect someone else more than you.
