Your Birthday for March 24, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 24th, 2016

Born today, you may always have the feeling that others are watching you, expecting something from you that you may or may not be able to provide. This is the result of a certain innate insecurity that you do your best to hide from the world at large, but that informs much of what you do and how you do it. The truth is that you are quite capable -- more than most, in fact, especially if you find that one niche that allows you to develop your talent to the fullest. You needn't be insecure, yet it's not something you're likely to shed anytime soon. What you must learn to do is forge ahead regardless of any doubts or uncertainties you may be feeling, and embrace the fact that others are paying attention to you!

You have tremendous physical prowess, matched at times by your intellectual abilities. You are able to solve all manner of puzzles and learn a great deal on the job -- and you know how to put this knowledge to use immediately. You are nimble in thought and action; you can change course quickly to take advantage of opportunities or avoid obstacles.

Also born on this date are: Peyton Manning, football player; Harry Houdini, magician and escape artist; Steve McQueen, actor; Jessica Chastain, actress; Louie Anderson, comedian and actor; Kelly LeBrock, actress and model; Joseph Barbera, animator; Norman Fell, actor; Clyde Barrow, criminal; Donna Pescow, actress; Lara Flynn Boyle, actress; R. Lee Ermey, actor; Star Jones, television personality.

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.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You don't have anyone in your corner, but you can still get out there and put up a fight worthy of admiration and praise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will have to predict more than just one outcome. When you do, you may be surprised at the reaction you get from others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not have all the answers, but you know that when one comes to you, it will prove useful almost immediately.

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.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone with whom you've only recently cultivated a meaningful friendship is likely to throw you a curve -- but you can take it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Now is the time for you to reach out to someone who has attracted your attention in the past. He or she turns you on in a new way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone else's pull on you may be much stronger than usual. You must be willing to go where you are led, at least for a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may need to step in and ease a conflict that, if left to spiral out of control, will certainly begin to affect you personally.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't want others to do anything dangerous, but you are not proving to be a healthy example. Certain changes are required!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to see what passes by, but you're going to have to be sure that you find the most advantageous vantage point.

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.
