Your Birthday for January 06, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 6th, 2014

Born today, you are confident, capable and eager to charge forth into the world to claim what you feel is yours by right, whether it be fame, fortune, celebrity or merely the satisfaction of knowing that you have made a difference. Your emotions run deep, and you tend to feel strongly about everything you do. Indeed, if your emotions are not fully engaged by an endeavor, you are not likely to stick with it long. You are consumed with the notion of doing things the right way, and while there are times when you stray from that path and make mistakes, you always work hard to correct them as quickly as possible.

Those around you may not always understand you, and your behavior and tastes may differ greatly from those of the general populace. You know you are different, but you don't always know what sets you apart. You are confident that if you are left alone to follow your instincts, you can achieve much -- but sometimes you are not left alone!

Also born on this date are: Rowan Atkinson, actor and comic; Eddie Redmayne, actor; Joan of Arc, soldier and saint; Nigella Lawson, author and chef; Danny Thomas, actor; Loretta Young, actress; Bonnie Franklin, actress; Carl Sandburg, poet and author; Howie Long, football player; Vic Tayback, actor; Tom Mix, actor; John Singleton, filmmaker; Anthony Minghella, filmmaker.

Your Birthday for January 05, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 5th, 2014

Born today, you are the kind of person for whom time is merely a formality that everyone else observes. For you, it is nothing to consider in the course of daily events. You go about your business as if you had all the time in the world -- and so, of course, you do! You simply refuse to be a slave to time. Even age is just an illusion that you occasionally choose to acknowledge. No matter how old you really are, you are likely to feel much younger, for you are young at heart, young in spirit and young in attitude. Your freedom from chronological restraints and dictums is likely to give you quite an advantage in life, at least spiritually.

You aren't one to let regret or disappointment take hold and ruin your day. Indeed, though you may feel sorry about something you did or something that happened, that feeling passes quickly, and you are on to something else in no time. Neither do you hold grudges; those who wrong you are quickly forgiven.

Also born on this date are: Bradley Cooper, actor; Marilyn Manson, singer; January Jones, actress; Diane Keaton, actress; Robert Duvall, actor; George Reeves, actor; Pamela Sue Martin, actress; Charlie Rose, talk show host; Jane Wyman, actress; Alvin Ailey, choreographer; Walter Mondale, politician; Zebulon Pike, explorer; Ted Lange, actor; King Juan Carlos I of Spain; Suzy Amis, actress; Raisa Gorbachev, first lady of the Soviet Union.

MONDAY, JANUARY 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're not likely to approve of someone else's behavior, but if you wait awhile, you'll have cause to change your opinion somewhat.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Much depends on your ability to roll with the punches. The more inflexible you are, the more likely failure is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will not be far from the center of the action throughout much of the day. Know when to step in closer and when to move farther away.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be quite surprised to learn about what has been going on behind the scenes without your knowledge. It's time to get more involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You and a friend are likely to get into a little trouble as you search for some fun. Don't get carried away or take things too far!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be required to work a little longer and harder than usual. A deadline is looming, and others depend on you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Focus on the task at hand and don't let yourself be distracted by the kinds of peripheral issues that others will surely raise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's a good day to consider giving someone something that only you can give. Time itself will play an important role later on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're likely to get a scare of sorts as you are met with unexpected obstacles when trying to do something that is normally routine.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not remember everything about a recent encounter, but the most significant facts will certainly be clear to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be at cross-purposes with one who has been trying to help you all along. Try to get out of his way -- and your own!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A matter of official policy may be the cause of an argument between you and someone who is playing a more prominent role.

Your Birthday for January 04, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 4th, 2014

Born today, you are never satisfied with things as they are, and you will spend much of your life working to better them -- for yourself, for your family and loved ones, and for the world at large. It matters not whether your accomplishments are large or small, well-known or relatively obscure. What is important is that you accomplish them in the first place. The important things, to you, are your own sense of responsibility to the world in which you live and the ultimate good that you provide. Your primary concern is never recognition, but you will welcome it when it comes, and you will find a way to use it to your advantage, to further a cause.

You know how to inspire others, and to rally them around a banner to which you yourself feel loyal. You may, indeed, find yourself in a position of authority at some point in your life, which can lead you to certain accomplishments that might otherwise pass you by.

Also born on this date are: Louis Braille, inventor; Sterling Holloway, actor; Don Shula, football coach; Michael Stipe, singer; Dyan Cannon, actress; Patty Loveless, singer; Julia Ormond, actress; Dave Foley, comedian; Jesse White, actor; Augustus John, artist.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have a choice to make that you wish could be made by someone else, but your knowledge and expertise will make a difference.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Technical assistance may be in short supply, so you may find yourself doing certain things the old-fashioned way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not have a lot of room to maneuver, so be sure that you are well-positioned as early -- and as quickly -- as possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Despite what you are going through, it may fall to you to make others comfortable with the situation. This will surely be a test of character.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are hungry for something that may be out of reach right now, but prepare yourself. It may be available to you sooner than expected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Getting from here to there will prove a challenge, so you may want to consider an alternative plan that minimizes travel time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You receive information that allows you to make an informed decision about family matters. Evening presents something unusual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be inspired by the work of someone you have long admired. If you play your cards right, he or she may actually assist you!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Give yourself the best chance for success by gathering all the tools you may need. Read up on the latest strategies and techniques.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Not everyone is going to understand your particular way of looking at the current situation, but it certainly enables you to "rise above."

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may want to take stock of your personal resources -- those that are renewable, and especially those that are not.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may feel as though time is running out for you to accomplish what you had planned for yourself -- but this is a mistaken notion.
