Your Birthday for March 12, 2018

Your Birthday | March 12th, 2018

Born today, you are a baffling combination of traits that would seem to be contradictory were you not proof that they can coexist within one human being. You are a generous individual with a certain selfishness that keeps you thinking about "No. 1"; you are hard-working, and yet you will drop everything to enjoy even a few moments of stolen leisure; you are quite disciplined, and yet you can turn on a dime and let things fall apart for lack of attention or care; and you are committed to endeavors that you love, yet you sometimes lack the drive to be the best that you can be. Others do not always know what makes you tick, and even those closest to you will shake their heads and admit that you are, in many ways, a complete mystery to them. But are you a mystery to yourself? That's the real question!

You know yourself better than most people know you, but that doesn't always make things easier for you. The truth is that your life is going to be one of constant self-discovery. One thing is for sure: You are a force of nature and someone to be reckoned with in love, work and play.

Also born on this date are: Mitt Romney, businessman and Massachusetts governor; Ron Jeremy, adult film star; James Taylor, singer-songwriter; Liza Minnelli, actress and singer; Aaron Eckhart, actor; Al Jarreau, musician; Darryl Strawberry, baseball player; Gordon MacRae, actor; Courtney B. Vance, actor; Jack Kerouac, author; Titus Welliver, actor; Edward Albee, playwright.

TUESDAY, MARCH 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have trouble with some of the simplest tasks today, which is a sure sign that your mind is elsewhere. What has distracted you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Before you sit down to plan any big changes, do what you can to eliminate resistance while you are on the move. Don't stop what you are doing!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone you know may be making a much bigger deal of something than necessary -- and it's likely to be a very small mistake on your part.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are unable to shake your particular bias with regard to a certain developing situation. You may have to recuse yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Giving another a helping hand demonstrates your generosity and your eagerness to see that everyone is on the same page. Don't hesitate to do so.

Your Birthday for March 11, 2018

Your Birthday | March 11th, 2018

Born today, you are the kind of person who others have their eyes on all the time. Though you may not always want to be the center of attention, you cannot avoid it most of the time; you had better get used to it if you're going to avoid feeling trapped throughout much of your life. The truth is that if you adjust your thinking and approach being watched in a different way, you can make use of it and enjoy a great deal as a result -- including monetary and other rewards.

Though you are never one to blindly pursue financial gain, you do recognize that it is better to be rich than to be poor. This simple tenet is your guiding light in life, in fact; you never want to go without when you could, with consistent effort, have precisely what you want.

Your creative juices are always flowing, and you are eager to pursue opportunities that are revealed to you in life -- personally or professionally. A little clever maneuvering can result in a long and successful career that is actually fueled by the attention of others. Your audience, ultimately, may be quite large!

Also born on this date are: Terrence Howard, actor; Lawrence Welk, bandleader and TV personality; Rupert Murdoch, media mogul; Bobby McFerrin, singer; Sam Donaldson, newsman; Alex Kingston, actress.

MONDAY, MARCH 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- All you may need today is a pep talk, and you know just whom to go to for words of wisdom and encouragement. They'll be given gladly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can go through the motions, or you can commit fully -- the choice is yours, but you must make it today, as it will affect others as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are able to give someone precisely what was promised -- on time and beyond your hopes and expectations. This is a great new beginning.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're waiting for an offer that is likely to open many doors for you -- but you still have to jump through a few hoops first. Are you ready?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's time for you to set aside anything that distracts you from your primary purpose at this time. Focus on what gets results and maximize gains.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Offering someone else needed assistance will also come back to benefit you at a later date that you cannot yet foresee.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're able to match another step for step, but that doesn't mean you'll come out on top. Be sure to employ your unique methods!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be torn between two extremes today, each of which offers you risk and potential reward in equal measure. Listen to your heart!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to engage in some last-minute repair work today before something can progress the way you had hoped. Get your tools ready.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The cause you currently support is in need of more than you can currently offer, but in little time you'll be able to come through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You know that what you're looking forward to is going to take it out of you, so you must begin preparing right now -- today. Plan your course!

Your Birthday for March 10, 2018

Your Birthday | March 10th, 2018

Born today, you don't always do things the way they are supposed to be done. You are recognized by many as someone who is able to manufacture shortcuts to reach your destination -- or achieve your goals -- sooner than anyone might have expected. There are those who are always cautioning you against this approach; "take no shortcuts," they always say. Yet you are able to use them in a manner that allows you to escape the kinds of moral and practical difficulties that others encounter when they do the same things as you.

Occasionally, perhaps, you encounter a situation that requires you to pay the piper; but, generally, you have a knack for sailing through life without having to sacrifice much of anything in your pursuit of more.

You are unusually attractive to others, and though you may not be a classic beauty, there is something about you that others find irresistible; you're likely to leave a trail of broken hearts in your wake. You don't fall in love with others as often, however, as others fall in love with you.

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; Jim Valvano, basketball coach.

SUNDAY, MARCH 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can guide others most successfully today simply through suggestion -- and example. You needn't give outright orders at any time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Examine your prospects with care today, knowing that you must be ready to make a clear choice when the time comes. You know what you really want!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be getting mixed messages from a loved one who doesn't really know what he or she wants. This is a place to start!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Sharing what you know will initiate a new phase of a working relationship. You can do much more than stay out of each other's way!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be feeling as though no one really understands the position you are in -- and you may be right. So why not explain it -- clearly and calmly?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not in a position to give instructions to others, but you can suggest how to do certain things by speaking in code. You'll be heard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What begins innocently enough threatens to become something of which you may become ashamed if you are not careful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov 21) -- You finally have the chance to work closely with someone who has inspired you over the years. He or she is interested in your unusual methods.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can do more than most with the time available to you today; don't let your inability to see the future get you down. Keep striving!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be the best dressed person in the room, but if you don't provide what others are expecting from you, that doesn't matter at all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others appreciate your sense of style, and yearn to be more like you. You, ironically enough, are wanting to be like someone else!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll want to make time to address a certain personal issue with just the major players in the room. Insist on privacy when you need it.
