Your Birthday for March 20, 2017

Your Birthday | March 20th, 2017

Born today, you are one of the real "straight shooters" born under your sign! When you speak, you say precisely what you mean, and others around you are in no danger of misinterpreting either your message or the thoughts behind it. You never shy away from the more challenging issues, and you can be counted upon to lead others through territory that is quite difficult to navigate. You are never aggressive or overbearing, however; you have a certain style that puts others at ease and promotes harmony and good will almost everywhere you go, no matter whom you may be interacting with. You never lack the confidence you need to stand up to injustice, and others know they can rely on this courage, which is your single greatest gift.

You are clearly talented, and your mind is always filled with ideas of all sorts -- some of which can be transformed into reality, and some of which cannot because they are simply too fanciful for the real world. Still, even your most farfetched notions are valuable because they can get you -- and others -- thinking about what could actually be.

Also born on this date are: Hal Linden, actor; Fred Rogers, television host; Spike Lee, filmmaker; Bobby Orr, hockey player; David Thewlis, actor; Holly Hunter, actress; Carl Reiner, actor, writer, director and producer; Kathy Ireland, model and actress; William Hurt, actor; Theresa Russell, actress; Jack Barry, television personality; John de Lancie, actor; Paul Junger Witt, director and producer.

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.

TUESDAY, MARCH 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may feel sure that someone is trying to do you harm, but this is a falsehood born of a certain insecurity. You'll get over it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will receive an invitation that seems most intriguing, but you may not be able to accept because of prior commitments.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An old friend makes things more complicated for you by telling you precisely what he or she is feeling -- and why.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Many others share the uncertainty you feel right now. There are things you can do to combat it if you can recognize your allies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can offer everyone something that is far more uplifting than the norm. Have you ever thought of doing this on a permanent basis?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- As you near a major milestone, you'll have much to think about. What a loved one provides is some of what you need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may fear that what you are doing will prove to be a calamity for many, but the truth is that you're offering something of great value.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can enjoy some quiet time that allows you to focus inward and solve a problem in an organic, highly personal fashion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Don't jump to conclusions! Gather and weigh evidence, and then lay out a plan for dealing with what you have learned.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Social media offers you only one means of reaching out to someone who shares your views. There are others that are far more effective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're making assumptions that are severely limiting your options. Don't let yourself remain trapped by what has gone before.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Once you give a loved one what he or she most needs, you'll be free to tend to your own personal issues. Some time alone may be necessary.

Your Birthday for March 19, 2017

Your Birthday | March 19th, 2017

Born today, you have high standards in all things, and you expect others to live up to them at all times. You can be quite rigid in these expectations, inflexible and demanding, and you are rather unpleasant when disappointed by those you trusted to toe the line. You know what you want, and you know how to get it, but you can be easily angered when circumstances or other people appear to work against you in some way. You don't like the word "no," and you will fight tooth and nail to retain the right to do what you wish, when you wish. You are never vague when expressing yourself, and others can always rest assured that you say what you mean and mean what you say. You don't have any time for beating around the bush!

You often move so quickly that those working with you allow you to go off on your own -- they are simply unable to keep up with you! This means that if you wish to maintain cooperative relationships, you must slow down occasionally to let others catch up. You must also encourage those who try to match you step for step.

Also born on this date are: Bruce Willis, actor; Glenn Close, actress; Wyatt Earp, law enforcement officer; Ursula Andress, actress; Patrick McGoohan, actor; Harvey Weinstein, movie producer; William Jennings Bryan, lawyer and politician; Ruth Pointer, singer; Philip Roth, author.

MONDAY, MARCH 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Instead of worrying about how to proceed when something becomes overdue, you may want to do something to keep it from being overdue at all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Reorganization is necessary. It may not be exciting to plan, but it can actually be fun to carry out. Involve a loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're anticipating one thing, but you should also prepare for something else. Indeed, you must account for all eventualities.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The changes around you needn't affect you, but you must acknowledge them just as others do. You can then go about your business freely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've got your priorities in order, but you'll be working against yourself if you proceed as if such things are set in stone. Be flexible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be expected to handle a difficult situation entirely on your own. You will, however, have the chance to ask for hints.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Any sort of self-deception can be truly hazardous over the long term, even when it's about something seemingly trivial.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's time to put a past episode behind you for good, lest it prevent you from moving forward as you have planned.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Safety is entirely up to you. Family members will depend on you for the usual, but you may need to provide something additional.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're trying to balance two very different interests, but neither is getting the attention it deserves. You may have to choose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’ll be operating at peak performance throughout much of the day, but take care that you are not simply fighting to meet others' expectations. Your own goals matter most right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can bet you'll encounter some resistance, but only from those who think your plan can be improved before it's implemented.

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.
