Your Birthday for June 08, 2014

Your Birthday | June 8th, 2014

Born today, you tend to laugh when thing are bleak, and laugh even harder when they are not. Indeed, laughter to you is, as the adage has it, the best medicine, whether you are sick or not! You are a highly intelligent individual, able to conceptualize the most complicated notions and present them to others in a way that they can understand. You are also highly instinctive, and it is this contrast between your gut and your mind that defines you as a hard-core Gemini native. You are continually trying to balance what goes on in your head with what goes on in your heart, and you try to tell both how to behave, while listening to each in its turn.

You don't always navigate your own personal life as successfully you do the professional landscape or the world around you. There are times when you may actually do yourself more harm than good by making decisions that seem to have no basis in fact, or in intellectual or emotional truth. This is no way to behave, and you know better!

Also born on this date are: Joan Rivers, comedian and TV personality; Keenan Ivory Wayans, actor and writer; Frank Lloyd Wright, architect; Bonnie Tyler, singer; Julianna Margulies, actress; Nancy Sinatra, singer; Jerry Stiller, actor; Leroy Neiman, artist; Barbara Bush, U.S. first lady; Sonia Braga, actress; Boz Scaggs, singer and musician; Robert Preston, actor; Byron White, U.S. Supreme Court Justice; Griffin Dunne, actor.

MONDAY, JUNE 9

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you bring to the table is valuable, but it may take some time before others are used to your unusual approach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may want to go back to the drawing board when your efforts don't win you the response you are eagerly anticipating.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You suspect that someone is not telling you the truth. You can solve your own personal mystery by delving into what troubles you the most.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have the opportunity to give someone close to you some valuable instruction. Make sure that the information you impart is up to date!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don't make the mistake of thinking that interruptions will not affect your overall momentum. You may, in fact, never get back on track.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have just enough time to deal with an issue on the career front before you are called away to address a domestic challenge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may think that you're seeing things without any distortion at all, but in fact, your perceptions may actually be quite backward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're misinterpreting the messages that others are sending. They are not meant as criticism, but as advice -- and you should take some!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may think that someone else's approach to a delicate situation is too harsh when, in fact, yours may be a bit too sensitive.

Your Birthday for June 07, 2014

Your Birthday | June 7th, 2014

Born today, you are never afraid of traveling through unexplored territory. Indeed, both personally and professionally, you're likely to be recognized for your fearlessness, your adventurous spirit and your willingness to be surprised at every turn. You see life as a gift, and you're not the kind to squander what it has to offer, be it ease or hardship, joy or sorrow. You are drawn to that which is new. Novelty is a spice you cannot do without; you require it in daily doses, or you feel deprived of something that is essential to your very existence. You love to see what lies around the next corner.

You are no stranger to heartache, but you will no doubt learn to wear it in a way that is hidden to most, even while leaving it accessible to you when you need it. You do, at times, need to reconnect with the things that bring you grief, for that is, to you, a part of being human -- and alive.

Also born on this date are: Prince, singer and musician; Tom Jones, singer; Liam Neeson, actor; Dean Martin, singer and actor; Bear Grylls, TV personality; Kim Rhodes, actress; Anna Kournikova, tennis player; Paul Gauguin, painter; Jessica Tandy, actress; James Ivory, filmmaker; Thurman Munson, baseball player; James J. Braddock, boxer.

SUNDAY, JUNE 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The simplest of occurrences can send you into something of a reverie as memories flood into your mind and take you back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself in a situation that requires of you a more aggressive stance than you had, at first, been planning to take.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What appears clearly before you is not as essential to what you are trying to accomplish as that for which you must search.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can begin the day in a way that is familiar to you, but things are likely to take a strange turn almost immediately. Be ready for anything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be able to apply recently acquired knowledge in an unusual situation when asked to step forward and do something impossible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A friendly competition heats up unexpectedly, making things a little more difficult to navigate in social situations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are perhaps doing just a bit too much in support of another. He or she must be able to take on more responsibility, not less.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have trouble focusing on the day's required activities until you have dealt with a personal issue that is hanging over you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You've been trying to control things in the wrong way lately. Today, you'll realize the error of your ways and adjust accordingly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Putting your best foot forward means presenting not only yourself well, but also your ideas. Packaging makes a difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's a good day to go through your personal belongings to determine whether you are being consistent in your acquisitions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are willing to make certain concessions, but don't let anyone force you into a corner and demand more than you are willing to give.

Your Birthday for June 06, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 6th, 2014

Born today, you often seem to be lurking in the shadows, waiting for your opportunity to step forward and take your place in the spotlight. The truth is, of course, that you are just as much at home behind the scenes as you are center stage -- a sure sign that you are, like so many other Gemini natives, really "two people" in one body: one who craves attention, notoriety and praise; and one who is perfectly happy getting things done with a minimum of fanfare. What you have to learn, of course, is which "you" is dominant at any one time, so that you can be truly satisfied with what you do, and what happens as a result.

You can be quite colorful, yet you don't have to try to be outrageous or outlandish to get attention when you desire it. Your personality is strong enough to attract attention almost automatically, as if by magic. It's your private, retiring side that is often more difficult to please.

Also born on this date are: Robert Englund, actor; Thomas Mann, author; Jason Isaacs, actor; Paul Giamatti, actor; Nathan Hale, soldier; Bjorn Borg, tennis player; Natalie Morales, journalist; Harvey Fierstein, actor and writer; Alexander Pushkin, author; Sandra Bernhard, comedian and actress.

SATURDAY, JUNE 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can carry on as planned today despite a change that requires you to go at a problem from an entirely different direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What works for everyone else may not work for you, and you're the only one who will be able to make that key determination.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There is much that you can accomplish, but a lot of it will have to be done in ways that are not routine or orthodox.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can make changes that don't affect you materially, yet are quite important to those around you. Right now, that's what counts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're going through certain phases concurrently right now, and you'll have to navigate certain difficult terrain with an eye to hidden dangers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Not everyone will be giving you the support you have asked for, but one person in particular will offer what others do not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's time to take a little better care of yourself, your domestic environment and those who share it with you. Make a commitment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Take care that you don't try to recreate a past glory simply by doing what you did then. It won't have the same impact this time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Be willing to experiment more freely with things that are new to you. You'll discover that you've developed different tastes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You needn't worry about the pace; if you make a steady, consistent effort, you'll surely get things done according to schedule.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's not only important that you get things done on time, but that you come in under budget. The official verdict counts for much.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's a good day to consider carefully one or two offers you've recently received but haven't been ready to look at closely.
