Your Birthday for March 08, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 8th, 2014

Born today, you are always careful to keep your balance as best you can, especially in those situations that would have others stumbling about willy-nilly. You insist on being in control as much as possible in life, and you avoid anything that you fear will lessen that control. You understand fully that life cannot be entirely risk-free; however, you also believe that it is your duty -- to yourself and those in your life -- to reduce the risks as much as possible, both literally and figuratively. Danger, to you, is unacceptable and, quite often, entirely unnecessary.

You work hard and play hard, and you don't always need the kind of rest that most others require. You tend to sleep well, and that is all the rest you need. During your waking hours, you are always striving to make things happen for yourself, both professionally and personally. You don't like being bored.

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.

SUNDAY, MARCH 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must get in touch with your honest feelings and face them in an unflinching manner. You'll learn much about yourself in the process.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have very high standards that may actually turn some people off, but those who stick with you will surely come through.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Focus on that which has eluded you in the past. It is perhaps nearer than ever, and your reach can be extended in a valuable fashion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What happens during daylight hours is only a sort of prologue for what will happen after dark. That's when the fun begins!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Short-term plans may not require a great deal of thought, as certain options are no-brainers. Long-range planning may be more complicated.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may wake from a dream, wondering why things can't really be as you imagined them while you slept. In many ways, in fact, they can!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll want to listen to what someone is telling you about balancing the personal and the professional. You can make excellent adjustments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your ideas are sound, but some may argue with how you came up with them -- and someone may, in fact, claim that you have stolen them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can avoid regret by doing things you know to be right and fair. Following the rules may be boring, but it's necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before you begin telling someone what he or she should be doing, take a look at your own schedule and fill in the blanks for yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have a way of saying things that has others agreeing with you even if what you have to say goes very much against the grain.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're at the center of the storm -- or you will be very soon. You'll want to get things done ahead of time to make room for change.

Your Birthday for March 07, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 7th, 2014

Born today, you are not always one to attract attention to yourself as you go about your business in a determined, methodical, honest and direct way. Indeed, this may be a factor in your career as you seek a kind of success that is elusive simply because your work sometimes goes unnoticed -- as good work often does. Eventually, however, if you stick with it, continue to dedicate yourself, and focus on process and quality rather than results and reward, you will find the success you seek. When it finally comes to you, it's likely to come by the bucketful! Once you "arrive," you're sure to stay a while!

You seem, at times, to be able to do much with little and to get maximum effect from what appears to be marginal effort -- but this is not so! You are always working hard to be the best that you can be; the truth is, it only looks easy!

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; Lynn Swann, football player; Peter Sarsgaard, actor; Franco Harris, football player; Daniel J. Travanti, actor; Taylor Dayne, singer; Piet Mondrian, artist; Jeff Kent, baseball player.

SATURDAY, MARCH 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others will be impressed by your ability to conceptualize what is, to them, vague and unwieldy. You know what has to be done.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your comments will not go unheard, but take care that you aren't so blunt or critical that you rub others the wrong way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your experience is what makes you unique, and the lessons you have learned in the process give you a unique advantage.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be addressing some important issues, even as you try to give yourself some time for reflection. It will be a balancing act.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Spontaneity will serve you well, but don't make the mistake of thinking that you don't have to prepare for anything at all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your instincts are keen and will lead you in the right direction. Be sure you are in a mental place where you can listen to them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your emotions are quite accessible to you, and you'll know with exacting specificity how you feel about each and every development.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will require a little more room than usual when it comes to maneuvering and adjusting your game plan to suit current circumstances.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must be willing to narrow your focus if you wish to accomplish something that really counts. You can't fight on multiple fronts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be eager for comments and suggestions, but ultimately you'll want to be solely responsible for what and how you communicate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your understanding of another's plight is the very thing that is holding things together between the two of you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be distracted by all that's going on around you, but later in the day such behavior will not be forgiven by circumstances.

Your Birthday for March 06, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 6th, 2014

Born today, you are always on the lookout for the next big thing, that thing that can propel you farther and faster toward the ultimate accomplishment or success, that thing you will no doubt be looking for throughout your lifetime. You are compelled to seek and strive -- so much so, in fact, that you don't always acknowledge when the search and effort yield results. Indeed, you may overlook some of your own accomplishments simply because you are so keen on looking beyond yourself and the here-and-now to what may happen in the future. You must learn to live more in the present if you intend to take full advantage of all the opportunities life has in store for you.

You don't always have all the answers, nor do you always ask the right questions -- but you like to act as if you do. This confidence -- or, perhaps, overconfidence -- can serve you well in certain circumstances, but it may also blind you to certain harsh realities that demand attention from time to time.

Also born on this date are: Lou Costello, actor and comedian; Shaquille O'Neal, basketball player; Michelangelo, artist; Rob Reiner, actor and filmmaker; Tom Arnold, actor and comic; Kiki Dee, singer; Moira Kelly, actress; Elizabeth Barrett Browning, poet; Alan Greenspan, economist; Kiri Te Kanawa, opera singer; Gordon Cooper Jr., astronaut; Philip Sheridan, Civil War general; Willie Stargell, baseball player.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Risks today may come in strange forms, and at strange times. You'll want to protect your head, of course, and your extremities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be going down a vey peculiar road, Taurus! It's a good day to consider the advice a loved one is giving you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your understanding of family history will serve you well, as you come up with unexpected answers to long-standing questions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to communicate in a clandestine way for part of the day, until you know your info has been imparted with no security leaks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been in the same place many times before, but this time it seems somehow different. Stick to the game plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself gravitating toward one who is doing things you have resisted doing in the past. Your perspective is changing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- If it falls to you to lead others through difficult terrain, you can do so in a way that keeps everyone lighthearted and optimistic.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't want to stop doing what you're doing until it yields the results you have been anticipating. Timing is important.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may encounter some resistance, but in the end you'll be able to persuade even the die-hards that you're in the right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your motives and methods may come under some scrutiny. You can point to the results you get, and your critics should back off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're making a big mistake if you think that the ends truly justify the means; how you do things is very important right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be at the center of something that you don't fully understand, but it can be quite enjoyable nonetheless.
