Your Birthday for March 18, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 18th, 2015

Born today, you seem to have a great deal of inside information about things that are not only important to you, but to almost everyone you know -- and everyone else, too. You have a knack for knowing what is currently happening, what is going to happen -- as well as when, where and even why. Indeed, there are times when you seem to demonstrate a kind of sixth sense about the future, but really it's nothing but instinct at play. Your instincts are so keen that when you trust them -- and you must always trust them! -- you are sure to do and say the right things, be in the right places and take advantage of the right opportunities. Trust your instincts, and the world will be your oyster.

You know how to parlay the simplest advantages into the greatest possible gains. Indeed, you are likely to succeed where others fail simply because you are willing to do what you must do more quickly, without stopping to have second thoughts. When you decide to do a thing, you do it wholeheartedly; again, it's those keen instincts making things work for you.

Also born on this date are: Adam Levine, singer; Queen Latifah, singer and actress; Vanessa Williams, actress and singer; Irene Cara, actress and singer; Brad Dourif, actor; Grover Cleveland, U.S. president; Wilson Pickett, singer and musician; Mike Rowe, television personality; Peter Graves, actor; John Updike, author; Edward Everett Horton, actor; Charley Pride, singer-songwriter.

THURSDAY, MARCH 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Things may seem a little one-sided for a while, but you can restore parity by speaking honestly with all those involved.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your influence will work wonders on those who are not usually willing to talk about their problems. You'll have many opening up very well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to weed through a lot that is unnecessary and even cumbersome before you get to anything that is useful to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Patience is always a virtue, but today it is almost certain to be a necessity. You must resist the temptation to force an issue.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to explain to more than one person how you got into your current fix -- and how you intend to get out of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you are going through must not be allowed to distract others, though this may be difficult when certain duties overlap.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be feeling your very best during at least a portion of the day. Take care that you don't let worry make it even worse.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to dig a little deeper than usual in order to get your hands on what you need most.

Your Birthday for March 17, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 17th, 2015

Born today, you are, like a great many Pisces natives, at risk of being considered a know-it-all for the very simple reason that you do, indeed, know a great deal. More than that, you are often too willing to share that knowledge in an indiscriminate manner. The key, of course, is to learn to size people up quickly to determine if they are of the type to react favorably to your display of knowledge and acumen, or if they will be in any way threatened by it. It is the perceived threat, whether real or not, that rubs people the wrong way more often than not. Still, you would not have it any other way; you prefer to be in the know, and you spend a great deal of your time trying to expand your knowledge.

What is important, of course, is that you never let either your intellectual knowledge or your practical know-how lie dormant. It's essential that you use the power of your brain to develop your natural talents to their fullest. That way, you can achieve much and fulfill your potential, both personally and professionally.

Also born on this date are: Rob Lowe, actor; Kurt Russell, actor; Gary Sinise, actor; Nat King Cole, singer; Patrick Duffy, actor; Vicki Lewis, actress; Billy Corgan, singer-songwriter; Mia Hamm, soccer player; Bobby Jones, golfer; John Sebastian, singer-songwriter.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to lay down the law when it comes to sharing. Others must display a little more respect for what is yours!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone may be trying to change your mind, but it's not going to be changed easily! A careful negotiation may be on the horizon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A certain familiar danger lies directly ahead, and it is that familiarity that can ensure your ultimate success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're more than willing to jump in and help those in need, but you must remember to make time for your own personal needs as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may attract something of a crowd with your unexpected antics, but take care that this doesn't become a habit.

Your Birthday for March 16, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | March 16th, 2015

Born today, you are not always the first to be noticed, but once you get working on a project, you are likely to attract a great deal of attention for your confidence and the influence you exert over others in ways both large and small. You may, when young, fear being overlooked, but as you grow older, you will realize that this is merely an insecurity that you can quickly discard, like an old coat that no longer suits your style, taste or physique. When it comes to doing what is important and has to be done, you can be counted on to be on the front lines, getting it done in a way that is recognized as uniquely your own. You can weather criticism quite well, which is good, because you're likely to get more than your share.

The support you give others in your life is of a kind they are unlikely to find elsewhere, and when you have pledged your loyalty to someone, it is undying. You will work tirelessly for a person or cause that you have embraced, and you will not give up until you have reached your goal. You will, as they say, die trying.

Also born on this date are: James Madison, U.S. president; Jerry Lewis, actor and comedian; Erik Estrada, actor; Victor Garber, actor; Mercedes McCambridge, actress; Bernardo Bertolucci, filmmaker; Pat Nixon, U.S. first lady; Chuck Woolery, game show host; Henny Youngman, comedian and musician; Jim Bridger, trapper and scout.

TUESDAY, MARCH 17

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be blissfully unaware that others are trying rather desperately to get in touch with you right now. Be available when you can.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's now or never, and you've known this deadline would soon be upon you. You should be able to muster the courage you need.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Focus on those things that are most familiar to you, as they will give you some comfort in moments of unusual stress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Once you get started, you're not likely to stop until you have checked off every item on your to-do list. Or is there still one more?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Only you know the right answer to the question most people around you are asking. Are you ready and willing to share it?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your usual mode of communication may fail you for a time. Your choice is simple: Stay out of touch, or try something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're going to have to communicate with others to be sure that everything is in place before you start a new and important project.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be carrying the majority of the load throughout the day, be it physical, mental or emotional. Others can trust only you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your reaction when all is said and done is likely to be priceless. Others will surely appreciate that you're taking things so seriously.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're gravitating slowly toward those who share more than mere outlook. Indeed, your work will soon be almost entirely in sync.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What you thought would be a group effort proves to be nothing of the kind, and you're left holding the bag. Avoid resentment!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may find yourself behaving in a more self-conscious manner than usual. The reason will soon be clear -- and should soon pass.
