Your Birthday for March 23, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 23rd, 2016

Born today, you have a certain style that is not likely to be matched by anyone else born under your sign -- or possibly anyone else at all! You are, indeed, unique! You turn heads almost everywhere you go, and you change the dynamics of a room simply by entering it. You know how to get things done, not because you are an expert at everything, but because you apply your true self to every problem and maintain a realistic, positive stance at all times. You are no Pollyanna, and you understand that not everything can pan out the way you want it to. Even so, you're not likely to give up on a thing just because it may be difficult. If you can dream it, you can make it happen -- or at least that's what you believe! Your personality is your No. 1 asset.

You don't always do things the way they're "supposed" to be done, and you're sure to win your share of supporters as a result -- perhaps more than your share of critics, too. Those who want to put you in a box, limit what you can do and restrict your possibilities are not for you -- nor do they understand who you really are!

Also born on this date are: Kyrie Irving, basketball player; Chaka Khan, singer; Perez Hilton, blogger; Keri Russell, actress; Joan Crawford, actress; Akira Kurosawa, filmmaker; Catherine Keener, actress; Amanda Plummer, actress; Richard Grieco, actor; Roger Bannister, runner.

THURSDAY, MARCH 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Prospects are quite good right now, but you must be able to reach an optimum speed and keep up that pace through all that is going on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not understand all that is happening, but you feel that you're in the right place at the right time. This should soon be proved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have only a limited amount of time to work with. You must get enough done to prove that you are on the ball.

Your Birthday for March 22, 2016

by Stella Wilder

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.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not understand why nobody seems to be connecting with you in the usual way, but the day's events will give you more information.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be trying to figure out where your current path is leading you. Pay particular attention to the smallest developments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be able to regain your balance as quickly as usual after a loved one throws an obstacle in your path. Don't be impatient.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your attempts to fly under the radar may actually work against you. Don't try too hard to go unnoticed, or you will end up attracting attention!

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.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take time to express yourself in the manner that best suits the situation and your state of mind. Don't allow anyone to rush you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're eager to show just what is possible, but you may have to wait until environmental influences are somewhat calmer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A promise comes your way, but you may have your doubts. Seek a new way to say what must be said, and don't expect a routine response.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You've got to get more done than usual before you can pack up and get on the road -- if, indeed, that's where you want to be going!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've got to fill a tall order before you are able to focus on your own needs and desires. It may take more time than anticipated.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Quality control becomes an issue. Don't let others -- or yourself -- take the easy way out just because it causes less friction.

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.

TUESDAY, MARCH 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may feel as though your strength has been sapped, but you can dig into your reserves and save yourself just in time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What happens to you during the first two hours of your waking day will have a decided impact on everything to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may wonder how you are able to deliver the goods again and again, but you know that it's all a matter of planning and enjoying your work.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to receive a message that you won't fully understand until you start off in a new direction. Don't be ruled by fear.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have much to offer those who choose to listen, but you're in no mood to waste time persuading anyone to lend you an ear.

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.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may feel as though you are nowhere near where you want to be, but in fact, you are closer than you think!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to bend or break the rules in order to get yourself out of a difficult situation that someone else created for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Now is the time to tell others precisely what you think -- and why. There's no harm in sharing your honest opinions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are fully capable of doing what you have been told to do, but the way you were told may have rubbed you the wrong way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't know what another is trying to do, but you do know that his or her actions are affecting your work. Get out of harm's way!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to arrange your personal affairs in an unusual way, and in a manner that attracts more attention than you would like.
