Your Birthday for June 13, 2013

Your Birthday | June 13th, 2013

Born today, you are likely to enjoy an early start on a long and potentially lucrative career, but you must guard against making such a remarkable success of yourself early on that you are unable to match that level of achievement later in life. You must always look forward, ready and eager to reach further with every attempt, lest you fall back and prove unable to do something new and exciting when the next opportunity arises. This doesn't mean, however, that you shouldn't try to profit from past successes; on the contrary, you should see that they all pay off as handsomely as possible!

You have an unusual sort of persona that makes you quite attractive to all manner of individuals, and yet this is not something that you take for granted. The truth is that you are often quite surprised when someone has a crush on you or tries to pursue you romantically!

Also born on this date are: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, acting twins; Raz-B, rapper; Rivers Cuomo, singer; Ally Sheedy, actress; Tim Allen, actor and comedian; Richard Thomas, actor; Malcolm McDowell, actor; Siegfried Fischbacher, magician; Christo, artist; Paul Lynde, actor; Ralph Edwards, game show host; William Butler Yeats, poet.

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.

FRIDAY, JUNE 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A question of taste may arise today, which must not be allowed to come between you and a good friend. Differences can be celebrated!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your feelings may demand more attention than you have been giving them over the past several days -- or even weeks. Take that first step.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may discover an outlet today that has you exploring a whole new side of yourself -- and in a way that takes you very much by surprise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Are you a master, or are you a servant? Today, circumstances are likely to arise that demand that you make a decision one way or the other.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone you know well may be trying to contact you about something you've been attempting to keep at bay. It's time to address it!

Your Birthday for June 12, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 12th, 2013

Born today, you are perhaps one of the most opportunistic individuals born under your sign, able to spot, identify, shape and exploit events, developments and trends in order to come out on top. What is unusual, however, is that your greatest single success may not be the result of this remarkable skill, but rather the result of being in the right place at the right time -- luck, pure and simple. Fortunately, you are perfectly willing to accept the fact that luck itself can play a key role in your life, and this, too, you are able to exploit more often than not.

There may be one or two periods in your life in which you find yourself mixed up in things that are not for you, and for which you are not suitable at all, and yet you will do your best to maximize the odds and come out on top. You are sure to be remembered for something quite unusual when all is said and done.

Also born on this date are: Chick Corea, musician; Jim Nabors, singer and actor; Anne Frank, diarist; George H.W. Bush, U.S. president.

THURSDAY, JUNE 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's a good time to celebrate the little things, especially after dark when you and some friends have a chance to get together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to hear out loud what you think a loved one is keeping to him- or herself. Make your desires -- and your needs -- known.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not think that the timing is lining up as you had hoped, but the truth is that you have a good chance of scoring a major success today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must pay close attention today to what is going on around you. Things may not be quite what they seem, upon close examination.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can make plans for yourself and for others today, but what they make of those plans is very much their own business.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can make a fantasy come true today -- but are you sure that's what you really want? Perhaps the fantasy itself is what you really enjoy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll want to look closely at a few recent missteps today -- honestly and in depth. You may realize that things are not as you think they are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Take care that you don't do the wrong things with the information that comes to you in an unusual fashion today. Don't hurt anyone's feelings!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Messages you receive at this time may mean more to you under certain circumstances than under others. Weigh pros and cons.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may come to a closer understanding of another's motives and methods today. A conflict is likely to be resolved as a result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The difference between what you can accomplish inside as opposed to outside may take you by surprise today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Don't let your guard down today; there are threats that you must face directly at this time, and you mustn't show any vulnerability.

Your Birthday for June 11, 2013

by Stella Wilder

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.

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.
