Beware the ides of March!
Forget Friday the 13th. Ignore ladders, black cats,
broken mirrors, and spilled salt. But remember the
ides of March (also known as March 15) and beware!
As superstitions go, being wary of March 15 is
somewhat unusual. Yet the day does have its staying
power. It lives on partly because of Shakespeare's
"Julius Caesar." In Scene 2, Act 1, the soothsayer
cautions Caesar to "Beware the ides of March!" Caesar, of course, ignored the warning, and was murdered.
Note that in their calendar, the ides fell on the 15th in
March, May, July and October. In other months, they
fell on the 13th. If that seems odd, just remember that
the Julian calendar, established by Julius Caesar, gave
us the basis of our system of 365 days a year and 366
in a leap year.
One-half of life is luck. The other half is discipline, and
that's the important half. Without discipline, you wouldn't know what to do with luck.
--Carl Zuckmayer
Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us.
--Dale Turner
Heaven is full of answers to prayers for which no one
bothered to ask.
--Billy Graham
The ides of March continues to be remembered as
unlucky, so marked because of Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 B.C. But there is another reason it was
frowned upon by all. On March 15, of the Roman
calendar, all debts from the previous year were supposed to be settled.
Caesar was assassinated in Pompey's Theater, where
the senate happened to be meeting that day. The theater was in the temple of Venus, which was part of the
theater complex.
The foundations of that building survive to this day.
It is the site of the modern Roman restaurant Da
Pamcrazio, which invites passersby to dine where
Caesar was slain.
The restaurant is located in what is now a wonderful
part of the old city.

The Golden Rule from 13 Different
Religious Perspectives*
YOUR HOROSCOPE
ARIES: You now realize that some of your beliefs
Compiled by John Milan & Paul McKenna
are not based on the reality of your life. Readjusting
your thinking could have long-term benefits.
Baha'i Faith
Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid
upon you, and desire not for anyone the things you would
not desire for yourself. (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings)
TAURUS: Meditation will calm you and lead your
thoughts in a more constructive direction. There is no
need to make big changes in your life until you are
ready.
GEMINI: The edge in a close associate's or loved
one's voice should tell you that something you don't
know is going on with that person. If you ask questions, you could discover what it is.
CANCER: You don't have to be Irish to be involved
with St. Patrick's Day. You could wear something
green to show that you care about others' events.
LEO: Consider whether this might be the time to defer to someone else instead of trying to be in charge of
the matter. Take an easier stance and actually hear
what others have to say.
VIRGO: Let your playful personality play a role in
difficult situations. Sometimes humor relieves the
stress of a situation. Be careful not to offend anyone or
direct humor at an individual.
LIBRA: You’re entering a time of good fortune. But
don't just ride the wave because you need to play a part
in keeping good luck flowing.
SCORPIO: Spring is a time of new life, and that includes new life for that idea that has been languishing
in the back of your mind. Prepare and watch for the
opportunity to show your stuff.
SAGITTARIUS: Relationships with friends are important to you. Encourage them with one-on-one time
even if it's just on the telephone. Show that you care
about them and they will care more about you.
CAPRICORN: Financial pressures are taking their
toll, but you can work things out if you have a definite
plan. Don't be influenced by others' spending habits.
AQUARIUS: When your workload is heavy, remember that you may not be able do it all by yourself.
Ask for advice from your boss or a trusted co-worker.
Get help anywhere and anytime you can get it.
PISCES: Your creativity is at a high point now. Put it
to work by taking a new view of every situation and
problem. Let your ideas flow and leave the details for
later. It could be the start of something big.
