Your Birthday for March 31, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 31st, 2016

Born today, you are the kind to stand out from the crowd -- often without even really trying! Indeed, you know how to cause a stir simply by entering the room, and those already there know that once you have arrived, everything will be different -- perhaps for all time! To say that you are unique is, in your case, literally true, for you have a singular style shared by no one else. Other people are drawn into your orbit by the sheer force of your personality; you pull them to you as the sun pulls planets and other heavenly bodies. You are very much the center of your own world -- for good or ill.

You can be rather secretive, and there are parts of your life that even those who know you best, members of your inner circle, would be surprised to learn. Keeping secrets in this way not only comes very naturally to you, but it gives you something of a rush; you find withholding information very exciting at times.

Also born on this date are: Ewan McGregor, actor; Christopher Walken, actor; Al Gore, politician; Shirley Jones, actress; Cesar Chavez, labor leader; Rhea Perlman, actress; Richard Chamberlain, actor; William Daniels, actor; Rene Descartes, mathematician and philosopher; Joseph Haydn, composer; Gabe Kaplan, actor and comedian.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll want to make sure you do the math correctly; you can't afford to find yourself coming up short any time soon.

Your Birthday for March 30, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 30th, 2016

Born today, you have a powerful personality and the will to prevail even when all the odds are stacked against you. This, more than anything else, will allow you to succeed where others are likely to fail. You have a kind of Midas touch, in that you can create gold in situations that offer others nothing but leaden possibilities -- and you are sure to attract a great number of admirers as a result. Indeed, many people will want to be just like you, though you are in many ways inimitable. Still, you will surely have your followers, those who are eager to learn how to do what you do. What they don't understand is that this is the result of who you are; it cannot be learned.

Like many Aries natives, you can be quite hot-tempered, and you're not one to let an offense, slight or any kind of wrong -- intentional or unintentional -- go unanswered. Fortunately, you will surely come to understand that revenge is often useless -- and can be quite dangerous, as well.

Also born on this date are: Celine Dion, singer; Vincent van Gogh, painter; Eric Clapton, guitarist and singer; MC Hammer, rapper; Robbie Coltrane, actor; Piers Morgan, television host; Norah Jones, singer; Francisco Goya, painter; Tracy Chapman, singer-songwriter; Warren Beatty, actor and filmmaker; John Astin, actor; Peter Marshall, game show host; Paul Reiser, actor and comedian.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're dangerously close to getting in over your head when it comes to a domestic situation that is not of your making. Steer clear!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You should be able to fit in everything you want to do, and still do the things that you are required to do. Don't dilly-dally!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be praised for a past success, but take care that you don't let it go to your head. You have something bigger to think about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are more than willing to lend a hand where you can -- or to stay out of the way if that's what's required. Help can take many forms!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You know better than most how complicated a current endeavor is likely to get -- and in little time, too. You're ready for whatever comes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can rely on someone's advice and guidance while still putting your own unique stamp on a certain endeavor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not realize that your attitude is actually putting a damper on your current efforts. You may want to rethink your approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can score big by doing what comes naturally. A rival may try to upset the apple cart, but you're not about to let that happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to find a way out of a situation that promises to bring you nothing in the way of lasting reward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be able to reunite with someone who brings out the best in you -- and vice versa. He or she is ready to consider all options.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your ability to please those around you will certainly come in handy, especially at the workplace, where an odd energy prevails.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There is, as you know, a time and a place for everything, but something may come up that challenges this long-standing notion.

Your Birthday for March 29, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 29th, 2016

Born today, you are not the kind to brook criticism well, nor do you like to be told what to do. Rather, you go about your business as if all is well, regardless of the reactions you may be getting from those around you. Your ego is such that you rarely think that you could be wrong -- and while you rarely are, the fact remains that you must never discount the possibility that it will happen now and then! You do not always follow the rules to the letter; rather, you behave according to your own unique interpretation of those rules. This, more than anything else, is likely to get you into hot water on occasion.

You want to be taken seriously, and you always want to receive the credit that you feel you deserve. Others may not always agree with you about what you deserve, and conflict will surely arise as a result. You feel that you are destined to do something important and lasting.

Also born on this date are: Scott Wilson, actor; Lucy Lawless, actress; Elle Macpherson, model and actress; Cy Young, baseball player; John Tyler, U.S. president; Brendan Gleeson, actor; Marina Sirtis, actress; Eric Idle, actor, writer and comedian; Christopher Lambert, actor; Pearl Bailey, actress; Jennifer Capriati, tennis player; Annabella Sciorra, actress; Amy Sedaris, actress and author; Bud Cort, actor; Terry Jacks, singer.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to stop what you are doing on at least two occasions in order to deal with a situation that is fast getting out of control.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can stem the tide of rising discontent on the home front simply by doing what seems most sensible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't let a knee-jerk reaction pull you into the realm of difficulty. You can solve problems easily by remaining calm and collected.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must follow the instructions you are given, even if they seem not to make a lot of sense to you right now. They will, in time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be tempted by something that you know is wrong for you at the moment. Trust a friend to keep you on the straight and narrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be impressed by the way a new member of your team is able to get with the program so quickly. He or she offers some inspiration.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You don't want to take the sloppy approach, as that can expose you to serious dangers -- both seen and unseen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You know what's best for you, and you know who can provide it -- but you may have to employ a little more patience than usual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're getting very good at telling other people what they want to hear. Be careful, however, as some can see through that tactic!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're going to want to make room in your busy schedule to accommodate someone's request that you be there when needed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are not likely to progress very far entirely on your own. You may not be in the mood for teamwork, but it can bring success.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Disappointment is likely to give way to satisfaction as you add things up carefully and realize that you've come out ahead.
