Your Birthday for June 22, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 22nd, 2013

Born today, you have a way of finding yourself at the center of things, where accident and fate are combined with ambition and intent. Indeed, almost every time you turn around, you can bet that something of import is happening near you. Whether or not you are involved directly will depend in large part on your willingness to become so. You have a taste for things that cause arguments. Hot topics of all kinds are attractive to you, and you never shy away from one simply because you are likely to encounter opposition or criticism. At times, you truly thrive on such controversy.

You may not always have the opportunity to do precisely what you most want, but you are always going to have something to do -- whether or not you choose to do it. There may be times in which you are frustrated by the way others see you, but that is partly the result of being rather hard to read.

Also born on this date are: Dianne Feinstein, U.S. senator; Lindsay Wagner, actress; Amy Brenneman, actress; Carson Daly, talk show host; Billy Wilder, filmmaker; Kris Kristofferson, singer and actor; Bill Blass, fashion designer.

Your Birthday for June 21, 2013

Your Birthday | June 21st, 2013

Born today, you do everything in life with a kind of graceful fluidity that gives others the impression that everything is easy for you, but the truth is that you work very hard at all things. Your natural grace is a credit to your mother and father, from whom such things always spring! Indeed, you are likely to have a great deal for which to thank your forebears, and you are one in a long line of individuals noted for their ability to take things as they come without seeming to overreact or lose control in any way. This is not to suggest that you never get angry or upset; rather, when you do, you know how to channel those feelings productively.

You will always have a desire to see the world, and even as a youngster you will dream about lands far from home and people as exotic as your imagination can create. The day you find yourself setting foot in one of those far-off places will be the day you truly find yourself. You are a natural-born traveler.

Also born on this date are: Kathy Mattea, singer; Meredith Baxter, actress; Jane Russell, actress; Maureen Stapleton, actress; Prince William, Duke of Cambridge; Michael Gross, actor; Jean-Paul Sartre, author and philosopher.

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.

FRIDAY, JUNE 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be reminded of one or two rules before the day is out. The first, of course, is that you must protect yourself at all times.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Anything you try to do in the usual way today is likely to turn out quite unusual in some way or another. You're a little out of balance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have found yourself reverting to bad habits lately, but today you can make one small change that makes a big difference.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're going to have to play up to par today, or you're going to get beaten -- badly. Now is the time to show others what you're really made of.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can accompany someone else on a trip down memory lane today, but you can reach the end in better condition because of your state of mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A personal discovery is on the horizon, but you're going to have to get past one or two personal obstacles first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It may be time for you to reassess your current strategy, which really hasn't been yielding you the results you are after.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to depend a little more than usual today on someone else, and he or she will be able to show you a new way of doing things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can sweeten the pot today by offering something no one else can. Now it is up to you to make sure you can come through on your end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're not in the mood to take a chance, but today you may have to do just that in order to stake a claim to something you think is yours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone is waiting for you to go back on your word, but you're feeling confident and capable, so it's not likely to happen anytime soon.
