Your Birthday for June 11, 2013

Your Birthday | June 11th, 2013

Born today, you are very much like so many other Gemini natives in one key respect, and that is that you are more able than those born under other signs to make the most of circumstances that may not, at first glance, seem to be positive or fortuitous. You know what to do to maximize the odds, increase your chances for success, and turn what others might only call a moderate achievement into something lasting, memorable, and worthwhile. You have a kind of "Midas touch" that you will no doubt learn to exploit fully.

You may, at times, feel as though it is up to you to do it all, and indeed you are more willing than most to take on what may well amount to too much responsibility. You must always remember, however, that this is your own doing -- something that you have done, not something that has happened to you.

Also born on this date are: Shia LaBeouf, actor; Mehmet Oz, TV doctor; Hugh Laurie, actor; Joe Montana, football player; Adrienne Barbeau, actress; Chad Everett, actor; Gene Wilder, actor; Vince Lombardi, football coach; Jacques Cousteau, undersea explorer.

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.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll seem to know just what to do to solve all the little things that arise today, but a big problem may prove quite stubborn.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your progress may be interrupted as you suddenly come upon a turning point that requires you to think about things in a new way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not know quite how to react to another's unexpected play today. You will want to go all the way to your destination, regardless.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have trouble communicating with someone whose problem is not talking, but listening. Take care you don't pick up a bad habit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may receive instructions today that are difficult, if not impossible, to follow to the letter. Improvisation can lead to success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can rise to something more today merely by dedicating yourself to a cause that is, according to the cliche, "bigger than yourself."

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're not alone, but you may be required to take care of certain details on your own, notwithstanding. You may be unclear during the P.M.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your judgment about a certain personal issue may be warped due to another's inability to tell you what you really need to hear.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may react in an unusual way to someone else's unqualified approval of what you've been doing lately. What's really going on?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The outcome today doesn't depend entirely on your own decision-making progress, but you will surely get the ball rolling.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to make a split-second decision today that affects those around you. You may not be in the best bargaining position.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're facing certain things today that will require you to reflect clearly and honestly. Be sure to talk to everyone in your life.

Your Birthday for June 10, 2013

Your Birthday | June 10th, 2013

Born today, you combine the fearless outlook of one who is willing to tempt fate and do the impossible with the natural caution of one who understands that the world can be a dangerous place, and that it is best to proceed well-armed and ready to deal with whatever comes. This is the true Gemini in all its ready-and-willing glory, and you are someone to be reckoned with in all things -- at home, at work, at rest, at play and particularly when things are not exactly as they are expected to be. Indeed, you are often at your best when you are forced to deal with things that spring up as if out of the blue, for when you seem to be least prepared, you are most in your element.

While family is always important to you, so is the ability to do what you want, go where you want, and say what you want -- when and how you want! In other words, your autonomy and individuality are everything to you, though you can find a way to reconcile them with a love of family.

Also born on this date are: Elizabeth Hurley, actress and model; Judy Garland, actress, singer, entertainer; Leelee Sobieski, actress; Maurice Sendak, author and illustrator; Saul Bellow, author; F. Lee Bailey, attorney.

TUESDAY, JUNE 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Adjustments may be necessary today, but not everyone is going to have to do the same things as you -- and vice versa.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A generous gesture may be misinterpreted today, resulting in a conflict where before there was none. Think fast and you can solve the problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be trying to put off the inevitable. Today, you'll have a chance to face your demons in a way that gives you the advantage.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be wondering whether someone in charge is angry with you or with the way you approached a certain problem. It's a moot point.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's important for you to be on the same page with someone who is trying to accomplish the same kinds of things that you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A tactic which used to solve a certain problem every time may not work for you today; it's time to think more creatively.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- This may not be the time to bring up certain issues that have been lying dormant for some time. You can show someone the ropes late in the day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may come under some scrutiny today, but this is really an opportunity to prove yourself and to reach for more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not know just where you are headed at this time, but with the help of a trusted ally you can boost your reputation considerably.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're likely to find yourself in the enviable position of being asked to determine your own immediate fate today. Choose wisely!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can contribute to another's well-being today, provided you keep your point of view clear and your focus aimed at what really matters.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn't let yourself overreact to things that cannot be controlled at this time. The important thing is to avoid being a phony.

Your Birthday for June 09, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 9th, 2013

Born today, you are one of the most upstanding individuals born under your sign, and there is little or nothing you will not do to aid others -- even while you are working so hard to promote your own work and secure your own success. To you, accomplishment on your part does not mean that someone else cannot also enjoy accomplishment and success; on the contrary, you often believe that one's success helps to promote another's and vice versa.

You have a compelling nature, and others are continually drawn into your orbit. The truth is that you are simply one of those people that other people like to be around -- and there isn't always a reason for this that you can readily identify or comprehend. You enjoy social situations, but you can also be quite content by yourself. You are often your own best company, in fact.

Also born on this date are: Natalie Portman, actress; Johnny Depp, actor; Michael J. Fox, actor.

MONDAY, JUNE 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be introduced to something that makes a great deal of sense to you right away -- even though it means making a few big changes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can get a few friends personally involved in your affairs at this time and beat someone else at his or her own game. This can be fun!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find yourself reverting to old habits -- but it's only because you are trying to avoid something that is actually unavoidable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are eager for something big to transpire today -- and so it shall, once you have put the final piece of the puzzle into place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be energized by the bold action taken by another -- and when it is your turn, you can follow suit, surely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take care today that you don't put yourself in harm's way simply by being careless. With a little effort you can avoid any threat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll find yourself standing up and speaking for another who cannot -- or will not -- speak for himself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Focus on the goals you have set for yourself at this time, and not so much on those that have been set for you by another.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The progress required today can be made, but not with your hands tied. You're going to have to extricate yourself from a bad situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The needs of another are likely to take precedence over your own, at least for a time today. You know how to make things work out well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be able to put a rival to shame today by showing the world at large what can be done when you put your mind to it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be surprised by the choice a friend or partner is about to make -- but if you think about it, you'll realize how right it is.
