Your Birthday for June 19, 2014

Your Birthday | June 19th, 2014

Born today, you are not always the kind of person who will be there when you say you will be, but this is not because of any intended duplicity on your part. The truth is that your life is something fluid and changing, always turning this way and that, responding organically to the influences that people, events and static circumstances may have on it at any given time. The simple fact is that you may not be able to do precisely what you say you will do tomorrow because things may then be quite different from the way they are today! Those who know you well can surely get used to the inconsistency, but this in itself may keep others from getting to know you at all.

There are a few -- a very few -- to whom you will give your word and keep it, absolutely and without question. Indeed, that close-knit circle of loved ones -- all closer than just friends -- is one for whom you will always sacrifice your beloved independence and autonomy. You will be there for them, no matter what.

Also born on this date are: Macklemore, rapper; Ryan Hurst, actor; Paula Abdul, singer; Phylicia Rashad, actress; Moe Howard, actor and comedian; Lou Gehrig, baseball player; Mia Sara, actress; Hugh Dancy, actor; Kathleen Turner, actress; Ann Wilson, singer; Gena Rowlands, actress; Poppy Montgomery, actress; Paul Dano, actor; Salman Rushdie, author; Pier Angeli, actress; Louis Jourdan, actor; Mildred Natwick, actress.

FRIDAY, JUNE 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're in need of a little expert guidance, and you know just where to go to get it. Later, you can return the favor in your own way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your timing may not be quite as faultless as it has been in the recent past, but you can undo such errors by being honest with yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can capture a bit of past glory, but take care that you don't let nostalgia get the better of you. Think ahead!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your interest in what has gone before will serve you well. The past is not only informative, but inspiring to you as well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to be sure that everyone who has signed on is able to fulfill his or her commitment, as agreed. Oversee, but don't hover.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- How you feel about a certain family dynamic is beginning to change. Try to say things that help, not hinder, personal progress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll hear a calling of sorts and will find yourself compelled to move in a new direction. Don't let prior commitments slide, however.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You receive a promise from someone who has remained in the background for too long. You can join forces in an exciting way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The comments and criticisms of a good friend have you reflecting on more than the task at hand. Many improvements can be made.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be feeling like yourself for much of the day, but there is little to be seriously concerned about just yet. Wait this out.

Your Birthday for June 18, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 18th, 2014

Born today, you are able to dedicate yourself to your work so completely that others are likely to remark on it again and again throughout your lifetime. The secret, of course, is very simple and even obvious to those who know you well: You derive a great deal of pleasure -- even fun in the truest sense -- from hard work and accomplishment. You believe wholeheartedly that the harder you work at something, the more fun you will have doing it -- and you prove this again and again, day after day, applying yourself fully to one grueling endeavor after another.

You love showing off, and you are quite unabashed about it. You seek out situations that allow you to bring all of your talents to bear and demonstrate them to as large an audience as possible. Indeed, you are attracted to endeavors of which there is a strong "look at me" component. You love the limelight.

Also born on this date are: Blake Shelton, country singer; Sir Paul McCartney, singer-songwriter and composer; Isabella Rossellini, actress; Jeanette MacDonald, actress; Roger Ebert, film critic; Carol Kane, actress and comedian; Kurt Browning, figure skater; Richard Boone, actor; Sammy Cahn, songwriter.

THURSDAY, JUNE 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The meanderings of your mind can actually lead you to a place that affords more than just pleasure -- there is also profit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone you've ignored in the past is likely to do something that you simply cannot overlook. He or she provides inspiration.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're likely to feel as though energy is being pumped directly into your mind and body, especially with regard to a certain project.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are poised to impress others all over again with a new accomplishment that, quite frankly, may have surprised even you!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is the time for you to patch up that old relationship that has been suffering under a misconception for far too long.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be feeling sad about an upcoming endeavor because many of those you had hoped to reunite with will not be joining you this time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Quality of work is not to be confused with quantity. As is so often the case, younger partners may think you're going too slowly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your memory serves you well throughout most of the day, but after dark, you may fall under a misconception born of faulty recollection.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Neighbors and friends are likely to be impressed by what you are able to do, but that doesn't mean that they want to participate with you!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Those who are waiting for you to jump through certain hoops will have to wait a little longer; you're not ready to oblige just yet.

Your Birthday for June 17, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 17th, 2014

Born today, you are not one to give up for any reason. This is especially true when you are confident that your way is the right way, that you are onto something valuable, important and lasting, or when you feel yourself rising to an occasion that may be quite rare, never to be enjoyed again. In short, you thrive on doing that which is rarely done and which, once done, may perhaps never be able to be repeated. There is a conflict within you, however: the need to accomplish, which brings its own inner rewards, versus the need to be noticed and accepted, which ultimately brings you the greatest outward enjoyment.

When it comes to love, you may also be quite conflicted. The love of what you do is likely to collide quite often with your love for another person. Both endeavor and individual will demand of you much, and you may never be able to give each what it needs of you at any one time. Compromise, then, will be the name of the game.

Also born on this date are: Venus Williams, tennis player; Barry Manilow, singer-songwriter; Greg Kinnear, actor; Igor Stravinsky, composer; Thomas Haden Church, actor; Mark Linn-Baker, actor; Newt Gingrich, politician; Jason Patric, actor; M.C. Escher, artist; Joe Piscopo, actor and comedian; Ralph Bellamy, actor.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be doubtful about a certain endeavor, but a friend gives you the boost you need -- emotionally and perhaps physically, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The time spent with a partner talking about a current project may be more valuable than taking any direct action, at least for today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have the chance to make a great deal of headway on a project that is near and dear to your heart. Today's journey is one of discovery.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Once you put the pieces into place, you'll see just what you've accomplished overall. It's important to have a broad perspective.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be slipping into a quieter, more introspective phase, but this isn't a bad thing! You can learn a lot about yourself at this time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to pay attention to what others are telling you, and the most important messages will come to you in code.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Progress is made slowly at first, but you can pick up the pace once you realize just how straight and narrow the path really is.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone is looking over your shoulder, but you should have nothing to worry about if you keep things on the up-and-up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're eager to give a friend or loved one the help he or she really requires, but first you may have to clear your docket quickly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Put things on paper; make lists and charts! You mustn't try to commit everything to memory; it's a busy time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be aware of certain ironies that have you wondering if everything else is really the way it seems.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Keep track of deadlines and due dates; it's not up to anyone else to ensure that you complete your tasks on time or under budget.
