Your Birthday for March 29, 2017

Your Birthday | March 29th, 2017

Born today, you are a highly emotional individual. It is virtually impossible for you to see or experience what is going on in any proximity and not react in a deeply personal way. You are quite often overcome by emotion in situations that others might find ordinary or innocuous. Still, you wouldn't have it any other way, for you know that it is these emotional currents that make you who you are. Indeed, who you are is more than an existential state for you; it is in fact the very core of everything you do, whether personal or professional. Along with emotion comes truth: Your emotional identity informs everything in your life -- often to a fault. You are all but incapable of compromise in most situations, and this can, of course, bring you more than your share of conflict.

You know how to take advantage of the odds when they are in your favor, and you take no notice of those who would call you an opportunist -- for surely it is the opportunist who can get things done! You are ambitious and confident -- even perhaps overconfident -- and you crave recognition and respect.

Also born on this date are: Scott Wilson, actor; Lucy Lawless, actress; Elle Macpherson, model; John Popper, singer; Cy Young, baseball player; John Tyler, U.S. president; Brendan Gleeson, actor; Marina Sirtis, actress; Eric Idle, actor and comedian; Christopher Lambert, actor; Pearl Bailey, actress; Jennifer Capriati, tennis player; Annabella Sciorra, actress; Amy Sedaris, actress; Bud Cort, actor; Terry Jacks, singer; Perry Farrell, singer.

THURSDAY, MARCH 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to serve as an intermediary between two parties engaged in a self-made conflict. A solution is at hand -- find it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're not about to be held back, held down, or held up in any way. Once out in the open, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may decide to relinquish control to see what happens when someone else is in the driver's seat -- but only temporarily!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can explore methods other than your favorites, but you're likely to confirm once again that your ways are the best ways for you.

Your Birthday for March 28, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 28th, 2017

Born today, you are driven by a deep-seated urge to make things better -- for yourself, for those around you and, if possible, for the world at large. You are profoundly affected by your environment; you are not just sympathetic to the plights of others, but genuinely empathetic. You are able to feel what they feel, which fuels your desire to cure all ills. In your younger days, there were numerous paths open to you, and you likely explored many of them freely. Not long after, however, while still young but reaching maturity, you will have recognized that you have what some might call a "destiny," and you will have chosen your life path accordingly. Once you start down that road, you will not alter your course for any reason -- certainly not simply because things get difficult! Indeed, you are at your best when you are facing significant challenges of all kinds.

You have a great deal of tenacity, and your longevity is unmatched by anyone else born under your sign. You have what it takes to be one of the greats -- provided that you don't let a certain dark secret rise to the surface and cause you to fall from a great height. If this happens, the most prodigious talent in the world cannot save you!

Also born on this date are: Lady Gaga, singer; Reba McEntire, singer and actress; Vince Vaughn, actor; Julia Stiles, actress; Dianne Wiest, actress; Rick Barry, basketball player; Ken Howard, actor; Maxim Gorky, writer; Nick Frost, actor; Conchata Ferrell, actress.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An important relationship is developing quickly, and you must take care not to put yourself in a subservient position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be frustrated by the lack of choices available to you, but perhaps you're simply not looking in the right places.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A casual conversation provides you with some important information that can make the difference between success and failure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone may not be following the rules, which will make things difficult for you in the process. It's time to protect your boundaries.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You do not intend to do what is considered inappropriate or, worse, illicit, but such a thing may happen by accident. Be prepared.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not appreciate the situation you're in. You have choices to make that will affect how things fall out for those around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Are you responsible for more than your own affairs? This is a question you may be asking yourself all day long, but the answer is unclear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The reaction you get from a friend is likely to baffle you at first -- until you realize that he or she has misinterpreted your intentions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Now is no time to overlook the obvious, for the obvious will be absolutely essential to you as you make a new plan.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have underestimated the capabilities of someone who is no longer on your team. Perhaps you can get him or her back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Important communications must be received, so make yourself available to anyone who may be playing the role of messenger.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Much is changing around you, and you are likely to find yourself in a period of transition as well. A friend will help keep you focused.

Your Birthday for March 27, 2017

Your Birthday | March 27th, 2017

Born today, you are a dynamic, forceful, often mercurial character who is often very difficult to pin down. You insist on having the freedom to do what you will when you will. Although you do understand that you must, to some degree, subscribe to certain norms and satisfy certain expectations, you aren't the kind to dedicate your life to such predications. Indeed, you are often at the mercy of your own creative drive, which compels you to reach for goals that are yours alone. These goals inspire you to behave in ways that are unique and do things that no one else is likely to do -- or, at the very least, do recognizable things in unrecognizable ways. You enjoy experimenting with your perceived character, and you never feel the need to be consistent -- except, of course, when it comes to love.

In matters of the heart, you are as constant as the planets in their orbits around the sun: solid, reliable and ever-attentive to the needs of that special someone. In fact, he or she may be the one person who knows who you really are -- and underneath it all, your romantic passions blaze with an unquenchable fire.

Also born on this date are: Mariah Carey, singer; Fergie, singer; Quentin Tarantino, filmmaker; Buster Posey, baseball player; David Janssen, actor; Gloria Swanson, actress; Michael York, actor; Nathan Fillion, actor; Elizabeth Mitchell, actress; Stephen Dillane, actor.

TUESDAY, MARCH 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone who makes the rules hasn't considered your needs at all. You must take the time to explain your position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be grappling with questions of right and wrong. Trust your instincts and remember what a mentor taught you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Avoid the theoretical. Focus instead on the realistic. You want to be dealing with issues that are concrete and crystal-clear right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There's a difference between just getting by and succeeding. You should be able to transition from the former to the latter.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Hard work will surely get you what you want, but be prepared! It may be harder than you ever imagined, even when a friend lends a hand.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be ready for what someone introduces, leaving you with only two options -- and you know which is really for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Listen to your heart, and you'll know exactly what you must do and with whom you must do it. Something easy and something hard must both be done.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't want to find yourself in an unfamiliar situation without having a game plan. You should research all possible scenarios.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You've been wishing for the same thing for quite some time, with unchanging results. How can you make things start to happen?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to take a more active stance than usual, providing what was missing to an endeavor that can bring you recognition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may rub someone the wrong way early in the day, but ultimately the two of you will see eye to eye and come up with a valid plan.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You fear falling short of a current goal, but that is only going to happen if you try to do too much at one time. Pace yourself and prioritize!
