Your Birthday for June 13, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 13th, 2014

Born today, you are sometimes mistaken for one who behaves in a way that you would, in fact, disdain; this is the result of your squarely Gemini nature. The twins are very much alive in you, forging a personality that is often at odds with itself. You are not likely to give both sides of yourself equal respect or attention, however. You tend to like one half of yourself much more than the other, giving the favored half much more love and development. The result, of course, is that when your "dark side" makes itself known, it may act in a way that is counter to your own needs and desires -- as an enemy of sorts, not as an integrated part of you.

Fortunately, such phases are likely to be rare -- and brief. In the main, you are an upright, solid, stolid and admirable figure, both privately and in your professional life -- a life that may well bring you in contact with the public again and again.

Also born on this date are: Mary-Kate Olsen, actress; Ashley Olsen, actress; Tim Allen, comedian and actor; Ally Sheedy, actress; Malcolm McDowell, actor; Richard Thomas, actor; Paul Lynde, actor; Stellan Skarsgard, actor; Basil Rathbone, actor; William Butler Yeats, poet; Christo, artist.

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.
