Your Birthday for March 22, 2016

Your Birthday | March 22nd, 2016

Born today, you are a serious-minded, hard-working, idealistic and principled individual, but you can also be quite lighthearted, humorous and carefree when circumstances allow it. The truth is that despite your ability to commit yourself wholeheartedly to your work and to the serious business of living, you are able to maintain good spirits at all times -- even when circumstances seem to conspire against you. You're not the kind who thinks that you can score significant gains only through a fight; on the contrary, you know that you can gain far more by getting along with those around you -- even rivals and close competitors. Life can be quite enjoyable to you, and you know how to make it enjoyable for others as well.

You're not one to let time slip by unused; you will take advantage of each and every moment and make the most out of it. You know how to dream big dreams, but you never let your feet leave the ground. This allows you to turn many of those dreams into reality. You are always grounded.

Also born on this date are: Reese Witherspoon, actress; William Shatner, actor; James Patterson, author; Andrew Lloyd Webber, composer; Ross Martin, actor; George Benson, musician; Chico Marx, actor and comedian; Stephen Sondheim, songwriter; Bob Costas, sportscaster; Elvis Stojko, figure skater; Marcel Marceau, mime; Karl Malden, actor; Matthew Modine, actor; Lena Olin, actress; Werner Klemperer, actor.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're seeking validation of some kind, but it's not likely to come to you unless you continue along your current path a bit longer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What others are giving you may not be as valuable as you had hoped. You're going to have to supply your major needs yourself.

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.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A collaborative effort falls short, but that doesn't mean it's the team that needs fixing. Perhaps it's the plan itself.

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.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find it impossible to avoid one of your darker moods, but you can recover quickly if you take care of your physical needs.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The proper rest, relaxation and nourishment are all essential -- though you may be tempted to skip a meal or two.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Something that initially seems quite trivial will prove to be the key to a personal mystery by day's end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Nothing is impossible for you -- at least in theory. It's the right time to pose to yourself a seemingly unanswerable question.
