Your Birthday for March 11, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 11th, 2016

Born today, you are a quiet, strong, principled, highly visionary individual for whom the word impossible is only a concept to be disproved again and again. Indeed, you often feel compelled to try the things that others have not been able to do. You consider a day well-spent only when you have been able to accomplish something that is widely believed to be outside the realm of possibility. You have a kind of Midas touch that allows you to make the very best of every situation -- but this is no accident or quirk of fate! On the contrary, you spend a great deal of time studying, analyzing and preparing your assault on the impossible in order to be sure you can indeed prevail.

You love exploring all that is new in life, and your own personal style, while "classic" in some respects, is also quite groundbreaking in many ways. You do not observe the kinds of boundaries that hold other people in their place. You are always on the lookout for that which can add to your reputation and prestige.

Also born on this date are: Terrence Howard, actor; Shemp Howard, actor; Lawrence Welk, bandleader; Rupert Murdoch, media mogul; Bobby McFerrin, singer; Sam Donaldson, newsman; Jerry Zucker, filmmaker; Douglas Adams, author; Rob Paulsen, voice actor; Peter Berg, actor and filmmaker; Alex Kingston, actress; Lisa Loeb, singer-songwriter; Johnny Knoxville, actor; Thora Birch, actress.

Your Birthday | March 10th, 2016

Born today, you are one of those rare individuals who attracts attention at an early age, and who will no doubt hold others in thrall again and again throughout much of your lifetime. You have tremendous talents, but even more compelling is your personality: You are a vibrant, open, energetic, surprising, friendly, highly interactive individual, always eager for involvement. While young, you may not know just what it is you are meant to do, so you will surely explore all options available. When you are older and experience has shown you the way, you will follow a path that leads you directly to the door of success -- and you will no doubt go through that door with confidence and style.

You don't have to know everything; you value learning, and for that reason you never let yourself become frustrated by a lack of knowledge. You know how to combine experience and practical know-how, applying it to new situations in such a way that you are very rarely taken by surprise. Indeed, you always seem prepared for what comes!

Also born on this date are: Chuck Norris, actor and martial artist; Carrie Underwood, singer; Robin Thicke, singer; Harriet Tubman, activist; Olivia Wilde, actress; Sharon Stone, actress; Prince Edward of Great Britain; Jasmine Guy, actress; Paget Brewster, actress; Jon Hamm, actor; Shannon Tweed, model and actress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to break one or two rules before you can make any real headway. Yes, this means you may have to explain yourself.

Your Birthday for March 09, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 9th, 2016

Born today, you are always eager to see what lies just beyond the limits of your vision -- literally and figuratively. This will compel you, throughout your lifetime, to journey beyond your boundaries and explore what the world has to offer, often very far afield. Travel, to you, is excitement; even the harsh practical realities of preparation and delay offer valuable lessons and are therefore to be appreciated rather than despised. Indeed, there are times when the harder a thing is, the more you enjoy it -- for you feel that you are challenging yourself in some way and, in so doing, developing at a quicker rate than you otherwise might.

You are not all that competitive, but you always want to try to better yourself in any way you can. You will attempt that which has never been done before simply to test yourself. If you fail, you will do all you can to learn what you must to succeed the next time.

Also born on this date are: Brittany Snow, actress; Matthew Gray Gubler, actor; Amerigo Vespucci, explorer; Yuri Gagarin, cosmonaut; Raul Julia, actor; Bobby Fischer, chess player; Emmanuel Lewis, actor; Juliette Binoche, actress; Will Geer, actor; Mickey Spillane, author; Samuel Barber, composer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may wake early to find that much of what you had anticipated is unlikely to transpire. This may prove something of a relief!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others are keenly interested in what you are doing and why, though you have a very good reason to keep as much as possible to yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If it's only a matter of money, you can work it out. If something else is working beneath the surface, you must examine it more closely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your full focus should be on what you are doing, for it's likely to take some keen concentration. One particular distraction threatens.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't seem to understand exactly how you got yourself into your current predicament. Do you know how to get yourself out?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- If something is done on the first try, so be it; the second, that's fine; but if it takes a third, the stars may be sending you a message.
