Your Birthday for March 12, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 12th, 2017

Born today, you are one of the most charismatic individuals born under your sign, and you do know how to make an entrance! You can win the attention of an entire room simply by adjusting your stance at just the right moment -- and this may be a skill you have worked very hard to perfect. You have a kind of sixth sense that tells you when all eyes are on you and, furthermore, exactly what to do when that happens. The trouble is that this is all style, not substance, and there will always be some who claim that you have no substance at all. While not true, the assertion is understandable, because you do tend to focus on appearances -- your own, and those of others as well. You know how to dress stylishly in all situations, but you are at your best in semiformal settings.

You're likely to achieve things of greatest importance all on your own -- and entirely unobserved. This means that some of your accomplishments will go unnoticed by the world at large unless you choose to announce them yourself. Take care, however, that you only do this when you have something truly valuable to reveal!

Also born on this date are: Mitt Romney, politician; James Taylor, singer-songwriter; Liza Minnelli, actress and singer; Aaron Eckhart, actor; Al Jarreau, singer; Darryl Strawberry, baseball player; Gordon MacRae, actor; Courtney B. Vance, actor; Jack Kerouac, author; Titus Welliver, actor; Edward Albee, playwright; Frank Welker, voice actor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may feel threatened by someone who doesn't yet know that he or she is encroaching on your territory. You can make it abundantly clear!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You've been dreaming of a chance like this for quite some time, and today you can make the most of it. A loved one backs you up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The truth comes to light, as it always does, but in a way that you may never have anticipated. The benefits are many, and the risks few.

Your Birthday for March 11, 2017

Your Birthday | March 11th, 2017

Born today, you focus on the basics and trust that, when you are ready, your talents will allow you to make the embellishments you need to do things in a way that is unique to you. You never mind taking the time you need to learn how to do something or how to do it better. You're perfectly willing to open a book and read up on a given topic in order to better yourself -- either personally or professionally. There may be times when you are not in a position to take advantage of a given opportunity because you are in "student mode," but this only means that if and when that opportunity comes around again, you will be more able than anyone to make the most of it. Indeed, timing is everything to you, and readiness is all!

You enjoy making money, but you value doing what is important to you far more than filling your wallet. Given the choice between happiness and riches, you will take happiness every time -- though you may also be able to have both if you prepare yourself for that lucky break that may come your way.

Also born on this date are: Terrence Howard, actor; Shemp Howard, actor; Lawrence Welk, bandleader; Rupert Murdoch, media mogul; Bobby McFerrin, singer; Sam Donaldson, journalist; Peter Berg, actor and filmmaker; Thora Birch, actress; Lisa Loeb, singer-songwriter.

SUNDAY, MARCH 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be able to maintain a constant pace throughout this busy day, but overall you should continue to meet expectations at work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Objectivity is the key to maintaining your equilibrium. Once you start taking things personally, all bets are off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You only have to make one very small change in your schedule to reap very big rewards -- and make yourself available to tend to another's needs.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Rain or shine, you'll want to do what you've said you'll do. Don't let your reputation be threatened by disappointing a fan.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have the chance to prove something to yourself, but the opportunity isn't likely to present itself until late in the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can be in the right place at the right time on more than one occasion. Others marvel at your flexibility and maneuverability.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll be tempted to share your opinions, but you realize that you may be endangering the chances of one who is on the verge of something big.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Not everything is going to make sense to you immediately, but if you take the time to study trends, you'll reach an important conclusion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- All things begin fairly, and it will be up to you to make sure that they play out that way. Let no one have undue advantage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you find yourself in a position of authority even for a short time, there are things you can do to change much for the better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Even modest gains are worth celebrating, as they are not likely to come to you easily. A rival acknowledges your special talents.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll exert a calming influence on those who are overreacting to the unexpected -- unless you allow your own perspective to become blurred.

Your Birthday for March 10, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 10th, 2017

Born today, you are quick to make up your mind about situations that arise. Whether or not that assessment is correct, it will surely dictate your course of action for quite some time to come. This means that you may spend a good deal of your time making mistakes that you must quickly remedy, for not every one of your calls is going to be accurate. When your judgment is erroneous, you must certainly work to undo any damage that might have been done as a result, especially if others have experienced setbacks in the process. You aren't always willing to take the time to do something the right way, and you're likely to enjoy more than your share of success doing things your way instead. You may have to deal with health issues on occasion, especially if you do not give your mind and body the attention they need.

You aren't always the first to come up with a certain idea, or the fastest off the block when things heat up and get going, but your tenacity and unflinching ability to face what comes will allow you to catch up and, with a little luck, take the lead in either thought or action -- or both. You'll get to the front of the pack eventually!

Also born on this date are: Chuck Norris, actor and martial artist; Carrie Underwood, singer; Robin Thicke, singer; Harriet Tubman, civil rights activist; Olivia Wilde, actress; Sharon Stone, actress; Prince Edward of Great Britain; Jasmine Guy, actress; Paul Haggis, filmmaker; Paget Brewster, actress; Jon Hamm, actor; Shannon Tweed, model and actress.

SATURDAY, MARCH 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to be in a defensive frame of mind throughout much of the day, as a rival mounts an offensive to topple you from your throne.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Things progress like clockwork during the first part of the day, but a surprise event may see you making some wrong choices later on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You needn't give others everything they ask for, as you may end up with little of your own. Choose wisely, and budget your generosity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be unusually slow to understand the true meaning of what you are doing, especially where loved ones are concerned.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can afford to be a little more choosey than usual. Don't just jump at the first thing that comes your way! A partner sees an opportunity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll have the chance to prepare yourself as never before -- and the results are sure to please you and a loved one equally.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take some time to talk things over with a loved one who is concerned that you're not sympathetic. There's something you don't know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 21-Nov. 22) -- You may have to work harder to explain yourself clearly. Others are interested to learn just what makes you tick.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Accidents do indeed happen -- and today they're likely to happen with alarming frequency -- but you can turn a few to your advantage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A friend points you in a new direction, and you may happily discover that you're able to make your money go further as a result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Lighten up! There's little cause for you to approach the day's issues with such inflexible intensity. Let someone else call the shots.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have answers to almost all questions asked of you, but things may get dicey if you're asked where you get your information.
