Your Birthday for June 20, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 20th, 2013

Born today, you like to take ownership of the things you do. When you become involved in a project, you are likely to rise quickly to some level of control, allowing you to do things your way for the most part -- and this is quite important you. The best job for you is one that allows you to approach things in a creative manner, but which also puts you in contact with others who work as you do, for you often do rely on those around you for ideas and other raw materials. You have a unique style and a personality that wins you the almost universal admiration and affection of those around you, although there will always be someone who does not fall under your spell.

You are able to step up and take control even when things are not going well, and indeed you may be the first that others call on in times of trouble or crisis. It's not so much that you always know exactly what to do, but rather than you always maintain a positive and productive outlook.

Also born on this date are: Nicole Kidman, actress; Olympia Dukakis, actress; Lillian Hellman, author and playwright; Anne Murray, singer; John Goodman, actor; Errol Flynn, actor; Lionel Richie, singer and songwriter; Danny Aiello, actor; Audie Murphy, war hero and actor.

Your Birthday for June 19, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 19th, 2013

Born today, you are likely to attract a great deal of attention when you are still young. Many people will want to take part in anything that you have to do with -- not always because they want to help you, but sometimes because they want something that only you can offer. You must always be on the lookout for those who would take advantage of you in this way. To become entangled with them does you no good whatsoever and may actually risk much that you are working for in your professional endeavors or personal life. You must always look out for number one!

There are those who would suggest that you like to live on the edge, and indeed you do enjoy those ventures that allow you to push the envelope and go farther, faster. Take care, however! Even you can fall victim to fatigue and ennui, and you must always do what you can to nourish your body and mind adequately.

Also born on this date are: Paula Abdul, singer and entertainer; Gena Rowlands, actress; Kathleen Turner, actress; Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney, drag racer; Louis Jourdan, actor; Guy Lombardo, orchestra leader; Salman Rushdie, author.

Your Birthday for June 18, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 18th, 2013

Born today, you are never content with doing only one thing at any one time. Indeed, your interests are so varied and so deep that you will be compelled, again and again, to explore a broad scope of endeavors that make you feel involved, content and important. It is this last, importance, that is actually the key to your character. You want to be taken seriously and to be recognized for your participation on the world stage, and you aren't likely to be satisfied with being a "small town" character, doing only those things that are known locally or remembered for a short time.

You like to take people by storm, showing them that things can be done that have not been thought of before, in ways that have not been tried before. This is even true in love, where you prove yourself an energetic and imaginative partner at all times.

Also born on this date are: Carol Kane, actress; Isabella Rossellini, actress; Jeanette MacDonald, singer and actress; Roger Ebert, film critic; E.G. Marshall, actor; Paul McCartney, musician, singer, songwriter; Sammy Cahn, lyricist.
