Your Birthday for March 21, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 21st, 2016

Born today, you know how to dig into a thing and reap every possible benefit from it. You never shy away from something that gets difficult, complicated or unusually intense. You are never afraid of immersing yourself completely in a project. Indeed, the more you can lose yourself in something, the better -- though in truth, you never do lose yourself completely, for you always remain aware, alert and able to trim your sails to get the most out of the ever-changing winds and currents. Though you are no doubt interested in a great many things, when it comes to your profession you're likely to limit yourself to a single course of study or endeavor so that you can gain a level of expertise that is rare or even unheard of.

You can be forceful, aggressive and rather insistent when it comes to promoting your agenda, but at the same time, you can be highly sensitive and willing to listen to reason when others come to you with problems or complaints. Still, your own affairs are likely to remain foremost in your mind, always.

Also born on this date are: Gary Oldman, actor; Matthew Broderick, actor; Timothy Dalton, actor; Eddie Money, singer; Rosie O'Donnell, actress and talk show host; Modest Mussorgsky, composer; Florenz Ziegfeld, stage producer; Peter Brook, stage director; Jaye Davidson, actor.

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!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're eager to learn how others may have fared in the past when facing a situation very similar to the one you are in right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you hear from others may not quite match the official version of events that you are more familiar with. You will want to investigate.

Your Birthday for March 19, 2016

by Stella Wilder

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.

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.
