Your Birthday for March 20, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 20th, 2016

Born today, you are always concerned with how things look. This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage in life, particularly because you also take things very personally in both professional endeavors and domestic affairs. You don't let bygones be bygones, and you are quick to determine whether something is an intentional affront or merely an accidental slight. However, the fact is that you are sometimes too quick to find fault where there truly is none. On the flip side, this innate trait, while it may be something you do not fully understand, is one reason you are so careful to do what is expected, correct and appropriate. You don't want to be the cause of anyone else's irritation or offense!

You are quite good at all means of communication, but you are most effective when it comes to face-to-face interactions where you can read another's expressions and unspoken cues in order to grasp subtle messages that lie beneath the surface. You like to read between the lines!

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 and filmmaker; Kathy Ireland, model and actress; William Hurt, actor; Theresa Russell, actress; Jack Barry, television personality.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's important for you to follow the trends, but this doesn't mean that you shouldn't try something new and unique.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now may not be the best time to buck the system, but you may not have any choice if your usual path is blocked.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be in the most jovial of moods, but you can still mix and mingle in a way that promotes harmony -- and progress, too.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Focus on the little things, and you can avoid feeling overwhelmed as you travel through your day. Minutiae can be fascinating!

Your Birthday for March 19, 2016

Your Birthday | March 19th, 2016

Born today, you are, like many Pisces natives, quite adept at a wide variety of very different activities and endeavors, and you will not be held back by a narrow vision of what is possible in life. Indeed, you have been endowed with the sincere belief that anything is possible, and it is as if you have plotted out your life's course specifically to prove it! You are destined to try many different things -- some successful, some not -- but you will always demonstrate a certain style and flexibility even if it's not in the cards for you to reach a high level of accomplishment or success. You can do many things -- and you do most of them very well, indeed!

There is something rough and tough about your demeanor, and those who don't know you well may mistake this for being difficult or overbearing. The truth, however, is that you are neither of these things; you are simply rough around the edges at times, giving little thought to what is accepted as normal or appropriate.

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

SUNDAY, MARCH 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're trying very hard to keep accidents from happening, but you're likely to discover that something unintentional can be a boon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is no time to be thinking of someone else as an enemy. In fact, he or she can prove to be a valuable ally in all kinds of ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're sure to encounter a few bumps in the road, but that doesn't mean your journey should be interrupted. Keep your speed steady.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Doing exactly what you are told to do is the way to avoid attracting attention -- or is it? Someone is likely watching you, regardless.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The plans you have made are sure to stand up to scrutiny, and you are confident that you can do precisely what you have set out to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can get more bang for your buck by venturing outside your comfort zone and trying something that wouldn't normally be for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're eager to see what's available and what may prove most instructive. You can learn quickly what you need to know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The situation you find yourself in may not be at all what you had expected, but your innate abilities will serve you well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't get too excited about mere rumors. Go about your business in the usual way until you hear something you know to be true.

Your Birthday for March 18, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 18th, 2016

Born today, you are no stranger to adversity, but you believe in facing even the biggest challenges with a smile -- or, if not a smile, a demeanor that belies the seriousness of the situation while allowing you to remain calm, collected and flexible. Like a great many of your Pisces brethren, you're likely to enjoy second chances again and again in your lifetime. Your ability to suffer a setback and then turn it into a resounding success may not be unique, but it is something that you will make work for you in many ways and many important situations. You can be quite robust in thought and action. You're not one to adopt a hushed or introverted style, and you're sure to turn heads when you enter a room.

You know how to use words well. You put your thoughts together in such a way that when you share them, you tend to make converts of those who thought they stood against you in some way. Indeed, persuasion is perhaps the single greatest weapon in your personal arsenal: You know how to change minds!

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

SATURDAY, MARCH 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can do much to keep a major conflict from erupting. Because you know how to put up a fight, you know how to prevent one, as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A personal sacrifice of some kind may be unavoidable. What happens late in the day gives meaning to what occurred much earlier.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can share your thoughts and feelings with someone who knows just what you are going through. You needn't feel isolated at all.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are in a position to give someone precisely what he or she needs, but you may have a good reason to withhold assistance for now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's important for you to go about your business in a strict, logical fashion. Trying to improvise may prove costly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to adopt another's point of view, at least temporarily, while you sort out a situation that was not of your making.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Troubles are sure to arise if you fail to accept certain developments as inevitable. Fighting against a sure thing is futile by definition.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be compared to someone who is doing things for all the wrong reasons, but you can prove, once and for all, that you're on the right track.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Take care that you don't overreach, or you may find yourself losing that balance you've worked so hard to maintain lately.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to turn down a very attractive invitation in order to tend to some business that concerns a family member who needs you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The mess you have to clean up may not be your own, but you can have order restored in little time and in a way that truly impresses!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are in need of more answers than you are getting, but perhaps you're not asking the right questions. You realize something unexpected.
