Your Birthday for March 11, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 11th, 2014

Born today, you are quick to take the initiative when something captures your interest, or when a job or project is in your "sweet spot." Most things, however, leave you unimpressed, and you are not quick to take action even when action is required. You are a self-motivated, self-driven, self-made individual, eager to follow your own path without being responsible for anyone else at any time. Of course, this attitude will change some as you grow older and surround yourself with more people who are dear to you. For the most part, however, you are known as a loner.

You are quite energetic when it comes to love and courtship. Indeed, when it comes to winning someone you've set your sights on, you can be quite creative and tenacious. You may not always be as eager to maintain a lasting relationship, however, as you were to get it started in the first place -- but that, too, is something that can change.

Also born on this date are: Terrence Howard, actor; Shemp Howard, actor; Lawrence Welk, bandleader and TV personality; Rupert Murdoch, media mogul; Bobby McFerrin, vocalist; Sam Donaldson, journalist.

Your Birthday for March 10, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 10th, 2014

Born today, you are not the kind of individual to let yourself be pushed this way or that, but you are very much the kind to push yourself, drive yourself and insist that you work harder and achieve more with each passing day. You are beholden to no one but yourself, and you will always give yourself credit for the things you do, confident that your inimitable, indomitable spirit and remarkable skills will set you apart and enable you to achieve the things you do. You take the notion of "duty" very seriously, but it is not a duty that has come down to you from anyone else; it is one you have invented for yourself.

You can be one of the most friendly, sociable and fun-loving individuals born under your sign -- when things are going your way. When they are not, you can be quite difficult -- demanding, hot-tempered, irascible, inconsistent, mercurial and, at times, incomprehensible.

Also born on this date are: Chuck Norris, actor and martial artist; Carrie Underwood, singer; Robin Thicke, singer; Harriet Tubman, civil rights pioneer; Olivia Wilde, actress; Sharon Stone, actress; Prince Edward of Great Britain; Jasmine Guy, actress; Paget Brewster, actress; Jon Hamm, actor; Shannon Tweed, model and actress.

TUESDAY, MARCH 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care that you don't let yourself become too aggressive, especially when dealing with those who are hard to communicate with.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Not everyone will be as receptive as you hope, but those who are will surely see the wisdom of your plan -- and the reasoning behind it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your approach may be rather off-putting to some, but others will think that you have adopted exactly the right strategy and tactics.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are usually quite supportive of others, but today you may instead wish to focus exclusively on your own personal affairs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can do much to improve your relationships, and to ensure that everyone is working together in the days to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can promote your own agenda with some success, but take care that you aren't causing someone else's setback in the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Distractions abound, but you know how to prepare yourself for just this kind of situation. What happens is a testament to your skill.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are expecting things to be somewhat rough, but you may be surprised to find that most things come to you quite easily right now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You have good reason to be racing against the clock. Try to get the hardest things done first so you can relax later on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your understanding of how certain things work will surely serve you well throughout the day. The unusual comes to the fore.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Don't say everything that comes into your head; rather, pick and choose with care the things that will have the desired effect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may prove to be unusually strong and determined throughout the day. Much is likely to come at you, but you can be ready for it.

Your Birthday for March 09, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 9th, 2014

Born today, you are a highly thoughtful individual. You think about others, yourself, what's happening and what's going to happen -- and you think about your own thought process whenever you have nothing concrete to think about! Indeed, you tend to live in your head, and you could benefit from giving your heart and your gut a bit more of a chance now and then. You don't have to let them rule your life, but you could certainly attain greater balance between what you think and what you feel. You are not the kind to do something without first considering all the options and potential outcomes.

You are friendly, loyal and quite generous; you will give generously to those you know as well as those you don't. You are always the first to give credit where credit is due -- even if it means acknowledging the accomplishments of a rival. You strive to be fair in all things.

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.

MONDAY, MARCH 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The slightest changes can make the biggest differences; don't make the mistake of thinking that small is small!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A certain issue may prove to be a stumbling block. You can get past it with the help of a friend who has "been there, done that."

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to take a project down to the wire in order to get it finished to your satisfaction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You don't have to say a lot to say a lot. The message you have to impart will have a major impact if you communicate efficiently.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been receiving a great deal of assistance lately from someone who, in return, requires your help right now. Give it!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be aware that something is needed, but you may not know exactly what. Experimentation can lead to a satisfactory discovery.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to dig deeply into your bag of tricks in order to come up with a ploy that will do what you need it to do -- quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your experiences will be interesting to others if you choose to share them. Now is not the time to doctor the truth in any way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can imagine a future for yourself and another with greater clarity than ever before. It's time to begin making plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The role you play in the personal affairs of a close friend will be more significant moving forward, and today's actions are key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've gotten it into your head to make plans now, but it's so far in advance that you needn't fret if they don't coalesce quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be able to remain free of constraints in some areas, but the trade-off will be restrictions in others. You can make this work.
