Your Birthday for March 24, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 24th, 2017

Born today, you are rarely one to wear your heart on your sleeve. The discussion of personal matters is something you engage in only with those who are closest to you -- a very few family members and friends you have allowed to see beneath the surface into your heart of hearts. You cherish your privacy, and you prefer to keep such things behind closed doors. You can be quite difficult to read on most occasions, and those who try to figure you out are likely to be frustrated again and again by your refusal to expose your feelings in any way. You reveal yourself only when you choose to do so -- and only to those you trust completely and implicitly. You get along best with those who understand this about you, and who do not try to pry into your personal life for any reason.

You are a hard worker, and you have been known to drive yourself to exhaustion before calling it quits. Indeed, while many people work to live, it could be said that you live to work -- for work, to you, may become the be-all and the end-all of existence. While others may not understand this, it can surely take you far!

Also born on this date are: Peyton Manning, football player; Harry Houdini, magician and escape artist; Steve McQueen, actor; Jessica Chastain, actress; Louie Anderson, comedian and actor; Kelly Le Brock, actress and model; Joseph Barbera, animator; Norman Fell, actor; Clyde Barrow, outlaw; Donna Pescow, actress; Lara Flynn Boyle, actress; R. Lee Ermey, actor; Star Jones, television personality; Jim Parsons, actor; Annabella Sciorra, actress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone may be trying to bully you into an unfavorable concession. Stand your ground, and his or her reaction will surely surprise you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can get all kinds of ideas from watching what goes on not far from home. No one realizes that you're using them for inspiration!

Your Birthday | March 23rd, 2017

Born today, you are never one to ask of another something that cannot be granted. You insist on treating other people fairly and with respect, and you are able to defuse all manner of difficult situations to protect those around you from lasting conflict and the dangers that might result from it. You are an effective peacemaker; you are able to substitute words for blows and have others follow suit, and the peace and harmony you bring about are often permanent. Your manner is stylish and easygoing, and you are quite tolerant of the differences in people that make life interesting moment by moment. Indeed, you always enjoy discovering something new about someone else that defies expectation or the norm.

There may be times when your personal needs call to you so strongly that you have to turn away from others for a while in order to satisfy them, but you will always turn back, eager to care for those in your circle and beyond. You are by nature a caregiver, and you will never turn your back on anyone for long.

Also born on this date are: Kyrie Irving, basketball player; Chaka Khan, singer; Keri Russell, actress; Joan Crawford, actress; Akira Kurosawa, filmmaker; Catherine Keener, actress; Amanda Plummer, actress; Richard Grieco, actor; Roger Bannister, runner; Kenneth Cole, fashion designer; Ric Ocasek, singer and musician.

FRIDAY, MARCH 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to step in and cover for someone who is not getting the job done. The question is: How long is this going to last?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A rough start is nothing to worry about. You have what it takes to reverse any negative trends before they become real obstacles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can stage a comeback that is sure to be quite memorable, even though some are likely to criticize your methods.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- One message is sent as another is received, and you'll realize that you're working at cross-purposes with someone who should be an ally.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The plan you've made is solid, but not foolproof. Today, you'll understand just how you can tweak it to make it better than anyone else's.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time to tell a certain someone where your boundaries are. For too long, he or she has been violating them -- unwittingly, you hope.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Promote yourself in a no-nonsense way, and you'll get favorable responses from those who are in a position to give you work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will have a chance to gather with friends and discuss certain issues that have been ignored for too long.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A certain memory upstages all others. Perhaps it's time to deal with it in a way that prevents this from happening again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A personal battle may have to be waged just so that you can maintain your autonomy and sense of self. Don't back down again!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may want to play only a supporting role, but that's not in the stars. Get ready to be thrust into the limelight by day's end!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone who used to open doors for you is no longer doing that job, so you'll have to step up and open them for yourself. You know how!

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?
