Your Birthday for March 09, 2023

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 9th, 2023

Born today, you may fear that you are easily overlooked, for there is something about you that makes you fit in wherever you are or whomever you're with, and when people are attracted to the new and different, that would normally mean you would go unnoticed -- but that is definitely not the case. You have so much going for you, and your personality is so bright, colorful and genuinely attractive that you are able to turn heads at any time.

You carry yourself well and professionally in almost all situations, as appropriate behavior is, to you, a most important part of daily life. What might surprise others, however, is that underneath that propriety is a tendency toward wild and unconventional thinking -- but you do your best to keep that part of you very much to yourself.

Also born on this date are: Brittany Snow, actress; Matthew Gray Gubler, actor; Amerigo Vespucci, explorer; Yuri Gagarin, cosmonaut; Raul Julia, actor; Bobby Fischer, chess player; Emmanuel Lewis, actor; Juliette Binoche, actress; Will Geer, actor; Mickey Spillane, author; Samuel Barber, composer.

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.

FRIDAY, MARCH 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your compulsion to see things through will serve you well today as you tend to something that too many others have recently neglected.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A situation under your care may need to be "fertilized" in some way today in order to ensure that progress is made in a timely fashion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A change in someone's behavior may have you exploring something behind the scenes today. An answer can be found if you search long enough.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A relative has some news for you, but you may have to do a little work to dislodge it from them. Once it's in your hands, progress can be made.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can be quite persuasive today, but take care that you don't come on so strong that you turn away those who might otherwise support you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A change in protocol may have you confused, and if you don't come to an understanding of what is happening, you may be overwhelmed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will have the chance to display far more courage today than some others even suspect you have. You'll be sitting pretty very soon.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A minor irritation must not be allowed to fester today. You'll have to step up quickly and do all you can to nip this problem in the bud.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may suddenly find yourself without the support you'd been counting on to see you through a difficult patch. This is only temporary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be presented with a long list of to-do items today, but you mustn't be fooled. Much of it you've already taken care of recently.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be unable to finish something today that you started yesterday. It's not you, but rather an environmental anomaly at work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Putting your best foot forward is likely to be much easier than expected today, as someone close to you has laid some very good groundwork.

Your Birthday for March 08, 2023

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 8th, 2023

Born today, you tend to suffer from -- or rather enjoy -- what is often called "shiny object syndrome," in that you are always pulled in the direction of the new, quirky, interesting, colorful, active and the shiny, too. When young, this characteristic can be given almost free rein, as it will encourage a free and active exploration of all that this big, wide world has to offer you both personally and professionally.

You combine the physical and the intellectual to achieve remarkable results, and the more you engage your brain and your body in any given pursuit, the more you'll progress and, ultimately, succeed. With disciplined hard work, you will find a way to make the impossible possible on many occasions, attracting the awe of those around you.

Also born on this date are: Aidan Quinn, actor; Micky Dolenz, actor and musician; Freddie Prinze Jr., actor; Alan Hale Jr., actor; Cyd Charisse, actress and dancer; Jim Rice, baseball player; Camryn Manheim, actress; Lynn Redgrave, actress.

THURSDAY, MARCH 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- After a long period marked by healthy choices, you may feel yourself falling back into an old, unhealthy pattern. This needn't happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The authority vested in you by some agency or another isn't really likely to hold you in good stead as expected. You may be on your own.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be so independent and unencumbered today that others think of you as a loose cannon, but you are following a certain set of rules.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What goes on outside needn't affect you inside today, and this means you may have to make adjustments you were formerly loath to make.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is not the time to talk about the permanence of any quick decision. You likely have a situation to get under control any way you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may require a kind of shock treatment today in order to be jolted out of a certain complacency that threatens to hold you back.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can observe someone else making decisions under pressure today and learn how you must react when it's your turn. Not all is lost.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Try as you might, your attempts at persuasion today are likely to fall short. Folks aren't yet ready to buy what you're selling.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to divide your day into smaller parcels in order to deal with separate issues as they arise. Follow another's lead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may grapple with "should I" and "shouldn't I" throughout the day, but no one else's input will illuminate the full picture for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to make a request of someone that is surely a long shot -- but it's the only option you have right now as you hold your ground.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone may act in a way that proves compelling to you as you consider your next move. Several unusual options present themselves today.

Your Birthday for March 07, 2023

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 7th, 2023

Born today, you are one of those rare but exciting individuals for whom an overnight success is likely to be the product of many, many years of tenacious hard work -- and even after such work, your ultimate success is not guaranteed. Much of what you acquire in the world, from jobs to financial reward, is likely to depend upon a good measure of luck; being in the right place at the right time is sure to play a major role in your ultimate success.

You can be hard to pin down, especially when your most heartfelt opinions and beliefs are concerned. You don't like talking about these things with most people; you save such conversation, when you can, for your closest friends and family members. The world at large may never know exactly how you think about some very important issues.

Also born on this date are: Bryan Cranston, actor; Wanda Sykes, actress and comedian; Rachel Weisz, actress; Willard Scott, TV personality; John Heard, actor; Maurice Ravel, composer; Piet Mondrian, artist; Jeff Kent, baseball player.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is more to do today to further a certain project than you may suppose. Get started early if you can, and expect some long hours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Certain desired results will come easily to you today, but not all. You're going to have to ask for help at some point later in the day.

GEMINI (May 12-June 20) -- You can learn a thing or two from someone you do not wish to emulate -- as even a negative example can be valuable to you at this time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The results you get today may surprise you, but no more than the methodology you had to employ to get them. Things may be changing permanently.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is no time to call it quits, no matter how difficult things might seem. You may simply be overreacting to a certain set of circumstances.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your hopes for a brighter tomorrow depend, in large part, upon your willingness to go through a certain hardship today. Are you ready for that?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may come perilously close to drowning in a situation you've tried your best to avoid -- but you can save yourself with a quick decision.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are likely to be both realistic and idealistic about the same essential issue today -- and a chance encounter may determine the outcome.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can certainly see a way to complete a difficult task today, but will you be afforded the opportunity? If so, you'll have to act fast.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself swimming against the current today, but not for long. A friend or partner has expected this and is there to help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are going to have to invite another to assist you in your most personal affairs today if you're going to avoid a rather costly setback.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Being willing and able are important today, especially as you are facing a situation that will require you to do something new and untried.
