Your Birthday for March 01, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 1st, 2017

Born today, you are quite adept at balancing the private aspects of your life with the public. Indeed, there are times when the two are combined in such a way as to make it possible for you to do the impossible, and to impress those around you with the grand scope of your vision and accomplishments. It is likely you will spend a great deal of your life in the public eye. Whether locally, nationally or worldwide, the attention of a great many will be focused on you, to varying degrees, but always more than on most others. Despite the fact that you are not an attention monger, you will always conduct yourself with style and find a way to deal in a positive and productive manner with what others have to say about you, both personally and professionally.

You are never afraid to face difficult situations or ask tough questions of yourself or others. You don't worry about what you may find when you dig into complex issues and try to shed light on the darker aspects of daily life. And you are certainly never afraid of knowledge -- for all knowledge is a positive thing, as far as you are concerned.

Your Birthday for February 28, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | February 28th, 2017

Born today, you are a dedicated, thoughtful, conscientious, hard-working individual, and you are perfectly at home dealing with personal issues in a professional manner, and professional matters with personal interest and passion. You are almost always able to combine business with your personal affairs; indeed, you believe that the application of personal ideals and interests to professional endeavors enables you to do things better than those who approach their work without looking at things from a personal point of view. To you, faith and ideals are of paramount importance in most things, and though you may not always share them openly with others, you maintain them as the foundation for much that you try to accomplish in life.

You may not always do things in the most straightforward or conventional manner, and indeed some of your ideas can only be brought to life by doing things that are simply unusual. You're sure to raise eyebrows wherever you go, but you are also likely to turn many critics into enthusiastic supporters.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- How you interpret what you see and hear will make all the difference. There is more at stake than just the routine spoils.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's time to take your discovery to someone who can tell you what to do with it. You must avoid any kind of guesswork.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you're searching for is not far out of reach, but you're entering sensitive territory in which a friend may prove troublesome.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others know full well what you're going to do next, so why try to hide your intentions? You can come out into the open at last.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Putting something in a memo isn't likely to work. You're going to have to arrange some face time with someone in authority.

Your Birthday for February 27, 2017

Your Birthday | February 27th, 2017

Born today, you are one of the most charismatic individuals born under your sign. This can be a liability at times, when those who do not fall under your spell begin to examine the substance that lies beneath the surface and question your ability to go beyond charisma and provide something more tangible and valuable. The truth is that charm is but one of your gifts; you have been endowed with tremendous abilities, a healthy dose of ambition and the will to put ambition and ability together to produce results. You can be rather inward in your thinking -- sometimes, when you are mulling things over and making plans, you may even withdraw from the society of those who know you best and to whom you are closest -- but you will always emerge once again to brighten the lives of everyone around you.

You can be highly emotional, but you will no doubt become quite adept at channeling your passions into work that will be considered valuable by a great many others. You are determined to make your mark and be seen in a positive light, both professionally and personally.

Also born on this date are: Elizabeth Taylor, actress; Josh Groban, singer; Chelsea Clinton, journalist; John Steinbeck, author; Joanne Woodward, actress; Timothy Spall, actor; Ralph Nader, consumer advocate; Howard Hesseman, actor; Kate Mara, actress; Noah Emmerich, actor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you must do can only be done today, and you're not likely to get another chance. Make sure everyone around you understands this.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll have the chance to revisit something from your past that made a big difference at the time; it can have a huge impact yet again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are willing to do more than planned, but not everyone around you will want to do the same. You need to work toward a consensus.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It may be time for explanations. Are you ready to reveal everything you have up your sleeve? Others will hang on your every word.
