Your Birthday for March 07, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 7th, 2017

Born today, you are not one to get caught up in the finer points of whether something is the right thing to do, or whether you should pursue a given opportunity. You are the kind, rather, to follow your instincts on most occasions and do what your gut tells you to do, regardless of the prevailing wisdom that might urge you otherwise. Whether dealing with personal or professional issues, your guiding voice is the one you will listen to, come what may. Fortunately, that voice is rarely ever wrong, so if you listen to it faithfully, you're likely to find yourself exactly where you want to be, again and again. You're certain to follow your own path to success, and in the process you may actually skip several steps that others have to navigate.

You have what it takes to land a long-term, satisfying job that keeps your bank account fat and your smile broad. Indeed, making a healthy living doing what you enjoy is very important to you. You surely wouldn't be able to get rich doing something that didn't make you happy.

Also born on this date are: Bryan Cranston, actor; Wanda Sykes, comedian; Rachel Weisz, actress; Willard Scott, television personality; John Heard, actor; Maurice Ravel, composer; Lynn Swann, football player; Matthew Vaughn, filmmaker; Peter Sarsgaard, actor; Franco Harris, football player; Daniel J. Travanti, actor; Taylor Dayne, singer; Piet Mondrian, artist; Jeff Kent, baseball player; Laura Prepon, actress; Rik Mayall, actor and comedian.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you hear through the grapevine may be more serious, and worthy of greater attention, than any information you actively seek out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Think back to the last time you felt you had fulfilled your potential, and you'll realize what you should do now to feel that way again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You don't want the technical aspects of a certain problem to overcome your human concerns. Think of a way to focus your thoughts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The more specific your memories, the more likely it is that you will be inspired by them rather than held back by any melancholy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Avoid any knee-jerk reactions. Remain focused and careful, and do what you must to foster a calm and harmonious attitude.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't want to act on what you learn until you have confirmed its verity. Someone may be trying to deceive you in some way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will receive something that means more to you than to the giver. Take care that you don't make anyone uncomfortable with your response.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are in a position of power, but you may choose to use it at a later date because of circumstances beyond your control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What you claim to be true may be so -- but only to you. Much depends on how you see things and your interpretation of a key issue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Balance is the key to success. Make sure that your focus remains trained on your most important personal goal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- If you forget what you were intending to do, a friend or loved one will be there to remind you. Someone special will appear after dark.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- From your vantage point, you may be the only one to see what lies ahead with any clarity. Not everyone will believe what you tell them.

Your Birthday for March 06, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 6th, 2017

Born today, you are quite adept at sizing people up in an instant -- but you are also far more transparent to others than you would like to be. You want to be mysterious and hard to read, but the fact is that you wear your heart on your sleeve for all to see, and that is no way to maintain a mysterious persona! You have numerous talents, but in your youth, you will not have felt compelled to explore any one of them fully. Indeed, some may consider you uninspired or even lazy -- though later in life you will surely remedy this and put them all to shame by accomplishing things that no one else has. You are more than willing to dive into hazardous situations; you may, in fact, find a niche for yourself saving lives as a first responder. You certainly want to be useful, and you want to be remembered, as well.

Because your emotions are so near the surface, you're likely to fall in love again and again -- and others may fall in love with you quite often. You don't respond well to those who throw themselves at you, however; you prefer a lengthy courtship that involves all manner of jockeying for position. To you, love is something of a game.

Also born on this date are: Lou Costello, actor and comedian; Shaquille O'Neal, basketball player; Michelangelo, artist; Rob Reiner, actor and filmmaker; Tom Arnold, actor and comedian; Kiki Dee, singer; Moira Kelly, actress; Elizabeth Barrett Browning, poet; Alan Greenspan, economist; Kiri Te Kanawa, opera singer; Gordon Cooper, astronaut; Philip Sheridan, military leader; Willie Stargell, baseball player; Connie Britton, actress.

TUESDAY, MARCH 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have to get closer to someone in order to glean what he or she is intending to do. Be aware that words will tell you only so much.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others may think you're selling out, but the truth is that you're just giving something new a try, and it could benefit them later on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll get good advice, but you may still be torn in two directions. Personal and business concerns exert strong pressure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone may be testing you in ways that you never fully expected, but that makes sense when you think about it carefully. Rise to the occasion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may sense that you're falling behind. If so, you'll have the chance to regain ground by doing something you usually don't want to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A good idea is a good idea, no matter where it comes from. Be willing to listen to anyone who will step forward and share.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not be enthusiastic about the instructions you'll be given -- not because of the intent, but the odds of success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Share what you know, and everyone around you can come out ahead by day's end. If you are reluctant to speak openly, hazards will abound.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The closer you get to the center of the action, the better you'll be able to acquit yourself. Others are eager for your contribution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not be controlling expenses as wisely or as effectively as possible. A friend lends a fresh perspective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Don't miss your chance simply because your attention is where it shouldn't be. Stay awake and receptive!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- One thing begins and another ends -- almost simultaneously. The world is sending you certain messages, so make yourself receptive.

Your Birthday for March 05, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 5th, 2017

Born today, you are not always confident with affairs that require hard knowledge or a way with facts, figures and dollar signs -- but when it comes to ideology, principles and faith, there is no one who embraces such concepts quite like you do! Indeed, you are likely to build your entire life on the notions of truth, honor and wisdom, with faith in all its forms taking the top spot in your personal hierarchy. You do not expect others to live as you live or to believe in the things that you believe; you are tolerant of many different ideologies and points of view. You are not, however, tolerant of anyone who chooses to challenge you directly or treat you unfairly because of how you live or what you think. That behavior is the mark of one who is intolerant, and you will have none of that!

Your interests are many, and you can commit yourself to almost any project or any line of work, provided you are drawn to it by some compelling force. However, you will drop anything in the name of love, for you firmly believe that love -- true, lasting love -- is the be-all and end-all of existence.

Also born on this date are: Eva Mendes, actress and model; Joel Osteen, televangelist; Andy Gibb, singer; Teena Marie, singer; Jack Cassidy, actor; Dean Stockwell, actor; Rex Harrison, actor; Penn Jillette, magician.

MONDAY, MARCH 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be discouraged by the fact that your contributions are undervalued, but you mustn't let that keep you from doing all you can.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A loved one will come to you with a suggestion that seems, at first, to be utterly realistic -- until further thought tells you otherwise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You don't have to blow your own horn; your actions will surely tell others just how valuable you are and what you deserve in return.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're not a fan of someone playing a pivotal role in the day's endeavors, but that shouldn't stop you from contributing where you can.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can't afford to risk anyone's ire, so by all means do exactly what is asked of you in exactly the manner required.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have more time available than you had originally thought, but you may not be able to get any more done than was scheduled.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself surrounded by all manner of things that are not necessary to the task at hand. It's time to clean up and streamline!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Something that begins quietly, even in the shadows, is likely to burst forth later in the day and demand attention. Are you ready?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must do all you can to keep yourself and others from rocking the boat. Smooth sailing is required, for the good of all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A problem will be solved only if you are willing to let someone else take a leading role; keep your ego out of the equation!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Questions of legitimacy may plague you for a time, but once you start getting results, any such cries and criticisms will surely fade.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Now is no time to throw up your hands and call it quits. Others need you and what you bring to the table, and the need is urgent.
