Your Birthday for March 22, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 22nd, 2017

Born today, you are an individual perfectly fashioned for the times in which you live, for you are forward-thinking, adventurous, experimental, reliant upon all that is contemporary in style and function, honest to the point of occasional bluntess, and always eager to work harder on projects that promise to bring tremendous gains for yourself and others. You are a team player, yes -- but you are also always looking out for No. 1. When push comes to shove, your own needs and desires will take precedence over anyone else's. There are some who may say you are overconfident, but let them try to do what you do! There are some who say you are unrealistic, but let them try to achieve what you achieve! There are some who say you are selfish, but let them try to match your level of success!

You never have to say much to communicate a great deal. A single word, or even a look, can deliver a message with as much power as the most carefully crafted oration. And once you make your point, you are ready to move on, eager to transition to the next issue that requires your attention. When something is done, it's done!

Also born on this date are: Reese Witherspoon, actress; William Shatner, actor; James Patterson, author; Andrew Lloyd Webber, composer; Ross Martin, actor; George Benson, musician; Chico Marx, actor and comedian; Stephen Sondheim, songwriter; Bob Costas, sportscaster; Elvis Stojko, Olympic figure skater; Marcel Marceau, mime; Karl Malden, actor; Matthew Modine, actor; Lena Olin, actress; Werner Klemperer, actor; Keegan-Michael Key, comedian.

THURSDAY, MARCH 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've been on a one-way path for too long. Today you'll have the chance to jump the tracks and head off in another direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can take things to the next level, but a loved one may prove stubborn. Be prepared to use all your powers of persuasion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Maintaining a positive outlook may be difficult, but it is necessary if you wish to have an impact on those who are most stuck in the mud.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone who knows better than you will come to you with advice -- and you'll only get one opportunity to take it and come out on top.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may soon have to pay for something that you took possession of quite some time ago. You must learn once again that nothing comes for free!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're waiting for the right time to reveal your intentions, but that time may have already passed. Now is as good a time as any.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can raise the stakes without any fear of losing your shirt. Others will be left holding the bill if you play your cards right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can make all the right moves and still not come out ahead, so you might as well focus on enjoyment rather than profit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You've been doing something good for another, and now you'll have the chance to do it for yourself -- which is far more important.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An unpopular opinion you held some time ago will be recognized as far more valid now than ever before. Real progress can start to be made.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- An old ally must not become a new enemy, but what happens today will be the determining factor. There's only so much you can do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone close to you is working on you right now -- and you know exactly why. Are you ready to give in and provide what he or she wants?

Your Birthday for March 21, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 21st, 2017

Born today, you usually find that you can get along with almost anyone, for the truth is that you like people -- even though you may sometimes claim that you cannot abide them! What is happening at such times to make you turn away from humanity in general, however, is merely an overreaction to specific individuals. But you will always be pulled back into the fold eventually, to enjoy both social and professional interaction, particularly with those who share your interests and aspirations, as well as some whose interests and aspirations are in polar opposition to your own! Indeed, you are often drawn to those who are very different from you -- for in such difference you find commonalities more often than not.

You are a good judge of character, but you try not to be judgmental. You never assume to know what is in another's heart at any given moment, because you haven't been in their shoes or experienced what they have experienced. You work hard to get what you want, and even harder to hang onto it!

Also born on this date are: Gary Oldman, actor; Matthew Broderick, actor; Timothy Dalton, actor; Eddie Money, singer; Rosie O'Donnell, actress and comedian; Rhys Darby, actor; Nobuo Uematsu, composer; Modest Mussorgsky, composer; Florenz Ziegfeld, stage producer; Thomas Frank, writer; Peter Brook, stage director.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not realize until very late in the day that things have lined up exactly as you would have preferred -- and you must act accordingly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Internal adjustments yield external change -- which, in turn, can alter things on a wider front in ways that you have long anticipated.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can give someone what is needed, but you will then have to ask for something in return. Don't let your resources go for nothing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- "No good deed goes unpunished" -- or so goes the adage. But you can prove that a good deed can and will be rewarded!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have little to say, perhaps, but much to do, so you can surely let your actions speak for you. A friend proves to be rather stubborn.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not in the mood to cater to another's wishes, but bending to his or her will in some matters can make other things easier.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be able to take control of a situation that has been mismanaged for quite some time. Progress is made with you behind the wheel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The answers you are seeking may be hidden from you in unexpected ways, so you'll have to journey into unfamiliar territory.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You've been looking far afield for answers, when searching closer to home can give you what you need. Some things don't have to be hard.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Others are starting to realize that you're involved in something for the long haul. Why didn't you let them know sooner?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The advice of a friend is hard to take, but you know that it's precisely what you needed to hear. An awkward phase is coming to a close.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be privy to some words of wisdom, but what you do with them matters more than the message they convey. It's up to you!

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.

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.
