Your Birthday for March 18, 2017

Your Birthday | March 18th, 2017

Born today, you attract attention of all kinds wherever you go and whatever you do. This is likely to cause you some difficulty where love and romantic relationships are concerned, as not everyone will appreciate that you are the darling of everyone else's eye! You must prepare yourself for rapid changes in your personal life, for despite any efforts to make things lasting and harmonious, there will always be some who do not want to share you with others and will therefore give up rather than put up. On the whole, you are a steady, responsible, hardworking individual. You thrive on mutual respect and kindness. You cannot abide any sort of unfair treatment, especially if it is intentional. You have many natural gifts that can bring you opportunity and, perhaps, a good deal of money.

Though you may deny it, the fact is that you hunger for power to a certain extent, and you will often pursue any opportunity to increase your status, whether personally or professionally. Fortunately, however, this never robs you of your desire to be fair to others, and you will always wield authority with care and insight.

Also born on this date are: Adam Levine, singer; Queen Latifah, singer and actress; Vanessa Williams, actress and singer; Irene Cara, singer and actress; Grover Cleveland, U.S. president; Wilson Pickett, singer and musician; Mike Rowe, television personality; Bonnie Blair, Olympic speed skater; Peter Graves, actor; Edward Everett Horton, actor; John Updike, author; Brad Dourif, actor; Adam Pally, actor.

SUNDAY, MARCH 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to see more than you had planned on -- perhaps more than someone wants you to see. Find out who is accountable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have it within your power to change much, but not everything. Indeed, one thing in particular may continue to haunt you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's time to do that thing that someone wants you to do, but that you've insisted you're not ready for. You cannot resist any longer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You've recently made a promise that you can keep or break, and today is the day that makes the difference. Deny this at your peril.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be able to communicate well with almost any sort of person -- except, perhaps, the one who is most like you. This opens a strange door.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others may bring up details about your past life that threaten to undo what you are trying to accomplish. Offer up the truth.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may discover that one of your most vocal critics is also a secret supporter -- and now is the time to begin working together.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're not in the mood for what a family member has suggested, but you can't simply decline without offering an alternative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone you expected to be by your side may be nowhere near, but perhaps this is good news rather than bad. How brave are you feeling?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must deal in truth and facts, not just tall tales you've made up on the spur of the moment. You have to get things right!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have everything you need at your disposal -- except, perhaps, the knowledge of what you must do first. There is room for mistakes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Put your best foot forward, and you'll do more than make a good impression. You may also end up precisely where you want to be.

Your Birthday for March 17, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 17th, 2017

Born today, you are a serious, sincere, straightforward individual, and you respond best to those who are like you in this regard. You do not take kindly to deception, duplicity or misplaced levity, and you certainly cannot abide those who beat around the bush and try to avoid the hard choices and difficult moments in life. You command respect, and you respect others who earn it. You will give someone the benefit of the doubt when you have been wronged, but you're not the kind to turn the other cheek again and again. After repeated offenses, you will eventually quit the offending individual like a bad habit!

You are not always as confident as you might be, but this has more to do with lingering, baseless fears than any real lack of talent or skill. When it comes to money matters, you often need someone to walk you through complexities. The basics, you can handle, but when things get tricky, you really shouldn't trust your limited knowledge or abilities!

Also born on this date are: Rob Lowe, actor; Kurt Russell, actor; Gary Sinise, actor; Nat King Cole, singer; Patrick Duffy, actor; Bobby Jones, golfer; John Sebastian, singer-songwriter; Billy Corgan, singer and musician; Alexander McQueen, fashion designer; Mia Hamm, Olympic soccer player; Vicki Lewis, actress; Lesley-Anne Down, actress; William Gibson, author.

SATURDAY, MARCH 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've got more to do than those around you, but you will enjoy being busy as a certain issue begins to loom in the distance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must play an unexpected role, and you may have to learn the ins and outs of assigned tasks all on your own. Keep your eyes open!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You want to be more connected to those around you, and to nature -- and the steps to take are clear. Why not start the process today?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can accomplish routine things quite differently from anyone else. A crowd may gather to see what you are up to.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to tell an expert what you've been thinking or feeling lately, as he or she can help you see it all from the proper perspective.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can be more creative today than yesterday, surely -- but take care that you don't raise too many eyebrows by doing the unthinkable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Travel may not have been anticipated, but you should take precautions in case you find yourself straying far from home after dark.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Something lies around the next corner that can benefit you in a unique way, but it may be rather frightening to think about at first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- While questioning someone's methods, your own may come under fire. It may be time to come to some sort of agreement.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know what you want, and how to get it, but a loved one may be standing in your way because he thinks he knows what's best for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have what it takes to outperform your rivals, but try not to expend too much energy during the first few hours of competition.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others are likely to gravitate toward you -- but is it for the right reasons, and will it benefit you? That remains to be seen.

Your Birthday for March 16, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 16th, 2017

Born today, you are often thinking of things that others have not thought of before, but this originality is not always going to be appreciated by those who have trouble keeping up with you, or who may question your motives or intentions. The truth is that you are far more straightforward than you may seem to some. Honesty is something you will never sacrifice -- even to the point of being blunt, untimely or inappropriate. Something of a live wire, you like to think of yourself as a mover and shaker, though you do understand that you can't accomplish all that you envision entirely on your own. You therefore cultivate friendships with those who can help you do what you want to do -- and you don't mind if, for a while, you must play second fiddle to someone more capable than you.

You tend to be rather reticent where love is concerned; anyone interested in you had better be prepared to show his or her hand early on, or frustration is likely to ensue. You never assume that a person may be attracted to you; you require proof -- and that, of course, is completely up to the other party to provide.

Also born on this date are: James Madison, U.S. president; Jerry Lewis, actor and comedian; Erik Estrada, actor; Victor Garber, actor; Mercedes McCambridge, actress; Bernardo Bertolucci, filmmaker; Pat Nixon, U.S. first lady; Chuck Woolery, game show host; Henny Youngman, comedian and musician; Lauren Graham, actress; Flavor Flav, rapper; Alan Tudyk, actor; Tracy Bonham, singer and musician.

FRIDAY, MARCH 17

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can fill a gap if you work quickly, but know that a rival may be trying to beat you to the punch. Trust your own methods.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A deadline approaches, but you may not have to throw yourself into a frenzy to get things done on time. A calm, steady pace pays off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's no reason for you to panic over news you receive through unofficial channels. The likelihood is that it is not true -- yet, anyway.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're not doing what you're doing for profit, but for another kind of personal gain -- and you can have that, in spades, starting today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Everyone is looking for his or her own comfort zone right now, and you're likely to find yours where you least expect it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must not forget what you have promised to do for a friend or loved one. It may not be convenient, but it's not to be overlooked.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Things are coming together exactly the way you hoped, but you may have to exert your influence on someone who's bringing up the rear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Is your reputation coming under fire? If so, can you take steps to avoid any permanent harm? Answers will become clear after dark.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to rally everyone else around a common banner, despite the fact that you are not overly enthusiastic about the cause.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can get something for free, but you're going to have to pay more than you expected for something else. Is this a fair trade?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can do much to ensure that others are treated fairly. Someone close to you is aware of a situation that is slowly unraveling.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can do much for someone who hasn't been in the forefront for some time. You may choose to take a pioneering stance very soon.
