Your Birthday | March 22nd, 2018

Born today, you are always eager to follow your instincts, whether it means you will be alone or not. While you enjoy company, you like being true to yourself more, and sometimes this means that you will find yourself on a solitary journey. You consider such periods valuable opportunities for study and learning. You know how to examine yourself with remarkable honesty; you can pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses with unusual ease and clarity. You believe that to be the best that you can be -- no matter what your personal life or professional commitments might bring -- you must always be willing to look at yourself in the mirror and respond honestly.

You are likely to find yourself in charge of large and complicated projects many times throughout the years. Fortunately, you have a way of bringing out the best in those that work for you. You are supportive and nurturing; those led by you often discover that they, too, can become effective leaders.

FRIDAY, MARCH 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're going to have to put a few of your secret talents on display today -- but this can be very enjoyable if you embrace the opportunity.

Your Birthday for March 21, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 21st, 2018

Born today, you are something of a chameleon. You can alter your behavior, your speech and even your looks to a certain extent in order to promote your agenda and get what you want. You are often a whirlwind of activity, known for having many irons in the fire. You cannot abide inactivity; you are quick to become bored -- and when you do, you become frustrated with your place in the world. Then it is only a matter of time before you spiral down into a dark emotional place from which it is very difficult to rise again. For this reason, you are always on the move, looking for opportunities both personal and professional. You don't necessarily want to be admired, but you very much want to be respected -- especially by those whom you respect.

You are rather liberal in your thinking, and you are almost always eager to embrace that which is new and progressive. You consider blind loyalty to tradition an easy way to get stuck in the mud -- and that, to you, is something that will never do!

Also born on this date are: Gary Oldman, actor; Matthew Broderick, actor; Timothy Dalton, actor; Eddie Money, singer; Rosie O'Donnell, actress and talk-show host; Modest Mussorgsky, composer; Florenz Ziegfeld, stage producer; Peter Brook, stage director.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to jog your memory a bit, but once you've accessed a certain episode from your past there should be nothing stopping you today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The demands being made on your time and energy today would tax anyone, and you must be willing to tell someone when enough is enough.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone whom you admire may be under attack today -- but is there anything you can do right now? You don't want to make things worse!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to receive an invitation that confuses you somewhat, as it is in direct conflict with information you received not long ago.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must keep things squarely in mind as you navigate the day, lest you forget the one thing that makes everything else coherent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Spend only as much time as necessary tending to routine matters; there is something quite out of the ordinary that will demand your attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You hear something through the grapevine today that has you thinking differently about a friend or mentor. Could it be true?

Your Birthday for March 20, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 20th, 2018

Born today, you don't like secrets, and you're not the kind to hang around the watercooler to exchange gossip with co-workers. You prefer to deal with things out in the open, embracing transparency and full accountability. You are quite adept at anticipating coming events; you assess the current state of affairs, study what is going on and scan the horizon for signs that give you a sense of what the future holds. Others rely heavily on you to help them determine how things are going; you are a kind of barometer to them, and if you are calm then they can be calm. Conversely, if you are agitated for any reason, they know that it is all right to be agitated as well! You were born to lead -- but sometimes you don't like the responsibility.

You are always eager for people to get along, and you are known for your ability to step in and ease tensions between warring factions. You enjoy the social scene, but you do not like small talk; when you are at a party, you may speak at length with only one or two people, rather than only briefly with many.

Also born on this date are: Hal Linden, actor; Fred Rogers, children's television pioneer; Spike Lee, filmmaker; Bobby Orr, hockey player; David Thewlis, actor; Holly Hunter, actress; Carl Reiner, actor, writer, director, producer; Kathy Ireland, model and actress; William Hurt, actor; Theresa Russell, actress; Jack Barry, TV personality.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to redefine, for yourself, what it means to be brave. There is something you have to do that only you can do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone is likely to remind you why you're involved in a certain endeavor just as you are ready to call it quits. Don't be hasty!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good time to rewrite the rules -- especially if you receive support from those who have been working for some time in the shadows.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What begins as something of a lark is likely to become quite a serious endeavor before you know it. What exactly do you have riding on it?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may think that a certain decision is entirely up to you, but you are being influenced by others in a very significant way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are tempted to explore uncharted territory today, and you will find that things may get unusually emotional if you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to receive a report of another's progress today that inspires you to pick up the pace -- and to try something unorthodox.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must do all you can to determine who is telling the truth, and who is trying to deceive you. Your efforts are likely to inspire others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What you do today cannot be taken back, no matter how hard you may try. As the saying goes, "You cannot unring a bell."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Something you've taken for granted proves elusive at this time. You must be willing to dedicate yourself to its recovery.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be confused about doing what someone else calls the "right thing." This may prompt a discussion from which you can learn a great deal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're tempted to do what others claim cannot be done. As you turn the next corner, you will be able to demonstrate what you're really made of.
