Your Birthday for June 11, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 11th, 2014

Born today, you are likely to earn a great deal of notice -- or even outright fame -- even though your beginnings will almost surely be quite humble. You are no stranger to hard work, and you will always apply yourself fully to any endeavor you undertake. If you say you'll do something, you can be counted on to do it -- and do it well. There may be times when the standard, traditional way of doing something is not for you, but that only means that you will do whatever you can to come up with a new and wholly original way of doing it! Ultimately, your efforts will pay off not only for yourself, but for others as well.

You are keenly interested in that which cannot be seen -- or, perhaps, even heard or felt. Does that mean you are likely to dabble in the mystical or the occult? Perhaps, but there is much in the physical world that you may explore before you have to move on to the metaphysical!

Also born on this date are: Shia LaBeouf, actor; Joe Montana, football player; Hugh Laurie, actor; Gene Wilder, actor; Mehmet Oz, physician and television personality; Vince Lombardi, football coach; Chad Everett, actor; Adrienne Barbeau, actress; Jacques Cousteau, marine biologist and explorer.

Your Birthday for June 10, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 10th, 2014

Born today, you are likely to find yourself in over your head on more than one occasion during your lifetime. Fortunately, you have been endowed with tremendous courage and staying power, and you are able to swim out of danger even as you are struggling to keep your head above water. That ability, combined with remarkable talent, will surely win you a great deal of praise and admiration and, quite possibly, catapult you to the top of your chosen profession and into the annals of greatness. You are, of course, less interested in any rewards and accolades you may receive than in doing your best and satisfying yourself that you could, in the end, do no better.

You have an insecure streak, and you must take care that you don't allow this one seeming weakness to get the better of you now and then -- for if it does, you may well be driven to behave in erratic ways that threaten much for which you have worked over long periods. You must always strive to maintain an even keel.

Also born on this date are: Kate Upton, model; Judy Garland, actress and singer; Hattie McDaniel, actress; Elizabeth Hurley, actress; Tara Lipinski, figure skater; Maurice Sendak, author; Jeanne Tripplehorn, actress; Leelee Sobieski, actress; John Edwards, politician; Gina Gershon, actress; Dan Fouts, football player and commentator.
