Your Birthday for June 22, 2014

Your Birthday | June 22nd, 2014

Born today, you will usually find that while it takes some time to "rev up" and be ready to get started on a new project or endeavor, by the time you do get started, you're able to establish and maintain a rapid pace that almost guarantees that you will remain ahead of the pack for most of the race! What slows you down in the planning phases, of course, is your insistence upon accuracy, details and care -- and a refusal to take things for granted. You want to know what you are going to face without the slightest shadow of a doubt! Once you've accepted terms that you have reviewed in their entirety, you can get started -- and get started quickly.

Like many others, you are able to do more than one thing simultaneously, but unlike many others, you are able to do them all at a very high level. One activity doesn't suffer because you are devoting too much time or energy to another; you are able to do lots of things well, all at once.

Also born on this date are: Meryl Streep, actress; Cyndi Lauper, singer; Kris Kristofferson, singer and actor; Carson Daly, TV host; Freddie Prinze, actor and comedian; Lindsay Wagner, actress; Bruce Campbell, actor; Todd Rundgren, singer-songwriter; Dan Brown, author; Dianne Feinstein, politician; Peter Asher, producer; John Dillinger, outlaw; Amy Brenneman, actress; Billy Wilder, filmmaker; Ed Bradley, journalist.

MONDAY, JUNE 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You like what you are creating at this time, but take care that you don't let it get the better of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Time goes by even as you try to slow it down. Make no mistake: You can either use it to your advantage, or fritter it away.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your connection to someone in the past is much more evident to you today than it has been even recently. You can learn from your own history.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have more to do than you had originally thought, so you had better get started as early as possible. Don't sacrifice routine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're eager to get things going down the right path since you apparently feel that things have been going wrong for too long.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your family is behind you -- perhaps not 100 percent, but certainly enough to serve you well through a current trial.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know how to express yourself in a way that attracts the right kind of attention. Today, your audience grows.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You want things to be more settled and secure, but you feel as though you're getting very little help in that regard.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're looking for closure, but it's not likely to happen until you acknowledge your own personal responsibility.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know how to say much by saying very little. Today, others will be listening to your every word, especially when it really counts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is not then, and you mustn't confuse the two! Focus on what can and must be done, not on what might have been in another time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be unusually contemplative throughout the day. You may be feeling responsible for something that was not your doing.

Your Birthday for June 21, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 21st, 2014

Born today, you may often find yourself being drawn into situations that you would otherwise probably avoid if you had the choice, but the truth is that your one great weakness is your inability to resist any kind of temptation laid before you by others. It doesn't have to be much, either! The mere suggestion that you might gain just a tiny bit from doing this or that is often enough for you to abandon your usual caution, steer away from your own intended goals and pursue those dreams that were not yours in the first place. You can sometimes derive a great deal of fun and profit from such endeavors, but usually this brings with it a level of hardship and sacrifice that may simply not be worth it.

You love to be in love, and you will do almost anything in pursuit of romantic contentment. There is often no telling whether your attraction to another is physical first and then emotional, or vice versa. What you do know is this: The physical and the emotional are, ultimately, almost indistinguishable.

Also born on this date are: Prince William of Great Britain; Juliette Lewis, actress; Meredith Baxter, actress; Jane Russell, actress; Michael Gross, actor; Jean-Paul Sartre, philosopher and author; Mariette Hartley, actress; Kathy Mattea, singer; Al Hirschfeld, caricaturist; Tony Scott, filmmaker; Bernie Kopell, actor.

SUNDAY, JUNE 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're noble and true of heart, though you may not be able to demonstrate this on a grand scale. Know that it's true, however!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be working hard throughout the day to reach a solution to a problem that threatens a major personal project.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find yourself thinking of better ways to do a certain thing that you have taken for granted for some time. Options are many.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to receive an unusual gift from an even more unusual source. Something new is in the offing, and it is worth exploring.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to recognize something important about yourself, deep down, for perhaps the first time. A friend helps you through a transition.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may feel as if there is little you can do to help, but though chances to offer hands-on assistance are limited, moral support can be given.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Options are few, and you'll have to break things down carefully to see just where your greatest dangers lie. Don't settle for an overview.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- There's nothing wrong with doing things in a familiar, comfortable way. The fewer the obstacles, the better, certainly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're hungry for information, but it may not be forthcoming. Your own investigation only serves to deepen your need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to stay away from your usual crowd for a time as you examine a key issue that springs from deep within.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Personal issues will always demand a certain amount of attention, but today a professional concern rises to the top of the list.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There are only so many ways to say what needs to be said, and you have what it takes to find just the right one!

Your Birthday for June 20, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 20th, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most classically "divided" individuals born under the sign of the twins -- and there is nothing identical about the two halves of your vibrant, electric, complicated personality. You seem to be one thing to one group of people and something entirely different to another, but, at the drop of a hat, all that may turn topsy-turvy and seem quite the opposite to each group in turn. There is no telling which "you" will be in the spotlight at any given time. While you may now and then have some control over this, most often you are at the mercy of your organic personality shifts.

You will learn as time goes by that it is almost impossible -- and surely pointless! -- for you to try to explain yourself to others, at least to their satisfaction. There will always be something about your makeup or behavior that defies explanation. In the end, this is perfectly all right with you!

Also born on this date are: Nicole Kidman, actress; Lionel Richie, singer-songwriter; John Goodman, actor; Brian Wilson, singer; Grace Potter, singer; Audie Murphy, actor; Anne Murray, singer; Danny Aiello, actor; Errol Flynn, actor; Martin Landau, actor; Robert Rodriguez, filmmaker; Josh Lucas, actor; John Mahoney, actor; Olympia Dukakis, actress; Stephen Frears, filmmaker.

SATURDAY, JUNE 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are comfortable with the way things are developing -- both in your personal life, and your professional affairs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You know the answers to many of the questions you'll be asked today. Prepare your responses carefully; you don't want to be misunderstood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that you don't leave something out today. Go over everything and make sure you dot all the i's and cross all the t's.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're ready to take your place on a new stage. You know your part, and you know how important it can be to others as well as yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can combine work and recreation in a way that increases the value of both in your own life and in the lives of those around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Eagerness to get going mustn't be allowed to push you forward at a pace that you cannot maintain -- or that creates danger for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can arrange to pay for what you need in a way that doesn't overtax your budget. Maintain past spending habits that have served you well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone may think that you're heading down the wrong path, but what seems like a bad idea to him or her is nothing you cannot handle well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're interested in the exceptional, not the ordinary. Pursue only what really challenges you in ways that you deem rewarding.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can inject a little humor into a situation that is usually dry and humorless. This certainly won't make it any less serious, of course.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have the chance to address those who will respond well to what you have to say. Many will be working with you very soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn't make the mistake of taking literally something someone says in jest. If you do, you will end up with your foot in your mouth.
