Your Birthday for June 02, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 2nd, 2013

Born today, you are able to deal with people on a very straightforward, businesslike basis -- and yet you harbor a kind of the idealism and creativity that sets you apart from most of those with whom you come in contact in your daily life. It is very important for you to have in your life a few close friends -- a very few, in fact -- who share your outlook, your abilities and your overall perspective about life and what is important in it. You don't like to feel that you are all alone in your thoughts, feelings, habits or behaviors.

You can be quite flexible when circumstances demand it of you, and yet you always manage to remain true to your own ideals and principles. The day you sacrifice them is the day you turn against yourself -- and that, of course, cannot be in any way a good thing!

Also born on this date are: Sally Kellerman, actress; Jerry Mathers, actor; Marvin Hamlisch, composer and pianist.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

MONDAY, JUNE 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have been remembering a particular episode recently that resonates quite significantly throughout this unusual day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The questions you ask yourself today are more important than the answers they yield -- and you'll discover something about yourself, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll receive a piece of news today that affects how you view your own current circumstances, though you are not directly affected.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not know how to broach a difficult situation with a friend or loved one, but he or she will help you break the ice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have the chance to show someone else just how much you know about your current project. It's not just a whim, surely!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's a good day to touch base with someone who is working on a different project; he or she is working with similar tools in a similar way.

Your Birthday for June 01, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 1st, 2013

Born today, you are highly creative, and you see the world through a lens that is very much of your own making. Indeed, there are times in which your view of the world doesn't really match the reality -- and yet this doesn't hold you back at all, though it may cause you some emotional difficulty now and then. You are a trusting and loyal individual -- and you must always take care that you don't leave yourself too vulnerable to being hurt by those who are willing to take advantage of your nature. You are able to compromise often, even while you are pursuing your own goals, and you understand that working with others demands the occasional sacrifice.

You don't like to hold yourself back, and you don't like interacting with those who try to limit you in any way. You like to think that there are no limits to what you can do, and anyone who might suggest otherwise is not for you. You only want those around you who are loyal and, above all, supportive.

Also born on this date are: Marilyn Monroe, actress; Alanis Morissette, singer and songwriter; Andy Griffith, actor; Morgan Freeman, actor.

SUNDAY, JUNE 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can do much to improve your chances today -- provided, of course, that you recognize and acknowledge the difficulties you face.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself engaged in an ideological conflict with someone who has supported you in some measure in the past.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Focus on situations that promise to bring you rewards sooner rather than later -- if you can identify them upfront.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You mustn't try so hard to do things faster than anyone else; try, instead, to do them better than anyone else. Quality is the true measure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have something to present today that is worth waiting for -- but if you wait too long you may not be met with the enthusiasm you expect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The element of surprise can work in your favor today -- but guard against those who would use it against you! Such things go both ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- That which worked for you yesterday can certainly work for you today -- though you may want to put a slightly different spin on it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you do for another today is likely to prove valuable to yourself as well. Things are working in a cyclical fashion at this time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The routine, mundane, ordinary and expected are not for you today, and you can certainly avoid them if you follow your instincts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A challenge comes to you in a form not immediately recognizable, but you'll be ready to swing into action when the time comes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What others have passed on recently is something you can accept as a viable option for yourself. Unusual developments must be considered.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your relationship with someone who has had a controlling influence over your life is about to change dramatically -- and for the better.

Your Birthday for May 31, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | May 31st, 2013

Born today, you are perhaps one of the most realistic, down-to-earth and practical individuals born under your sign -- though you are not without the kind of lofty idealism that characterizes so many born under the sign of the twins. You are creative and artistic, and yet you are able to live in the world without having the two seemingly conflicting sides of your personality clash too often -- if at all. But this is, in many ways, what makes you a Gemini native -- and indeed, some may know you for one set of characteristics, and some for the other, but all will think they know the definitive you.

You don't always follow instructions to the letter; rather, you prefer to improvise as long as you understand, to some practical degree, what the overall plan is. It is in your performance of seemingly mundane tasks that you often demonstrate your more creative side.

Also born on this date are: Lea Thompson, actress; Sharon Gless, actress; Brooke Shields, model and actress; Clint Eastwood, actor and director.

SATURDAY, JUNE 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be tempted to lash out against those working against you at this time, until you realize that a recent setback was really your doing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be too quick to judge those around you; today, do what you can to understand their motives as well as you understand your own.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be asking for a bit too much at this time. Today, you'll realize that there are limits, even though you can remain optimistic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be asking questions all day long, and only a few are likely to be answered to your immediate satisfaction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're going to have to work hard to uncover the information that is the most important to you today. You can get help just when you need it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's a good idea to present your ideas in an open and undisguised fashion today. Those who are most interested will let you know right away.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take care today that you don't react prematurely to an opportunity that is rather slow to develop. Being hasty can threaten all progress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are likely to realize that what you had assumed to be one way has really been quite another -- and for some time. Your eyes are opened.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're expecting things to progress according to a plan that has already been laid down -- but certain things are bound to change.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A potentially dangerous situation can be defused today by you doing what no one else is willing to do. It may be entirely up to you -- again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can't get things going as quickly as you might have hoped, but you can maximize your returns by making the right resource investments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's time to get on with business today, after a setback that may have found you re-examining your own motives. All is back in line.
