Your Birthday for June 29, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 29th, 2014

Born today, you are quite adept at looking into the future and determining just what will happen -- as well as when, why and to whom. This sort of clairvoyant ability is sure to give you the advantage in many a situation, making you the envy of all who are unable to see things as clearly as you can. When you find yourself choosing between two options, you will almost always favor the one that involves a personal challenge of some sort. You thrive on endeavors that allow you to learn how to do something new -- or how to do something in a new way.

You have a keen sense of style, and you understand that there are times when style is at least as important as substance, if not more so. You never, however, make the mistake of thinking that appearance alone will carry you over the threshold of success.

Also born on this date are: Nicole Scherzinger, singer; Gary Busey, actor; Slim Pickens, actor; Harmon Killebrew, baseball player; Nelson Eddy, singer; Richard Lewis, comedian; Fred Grandy, actor; Ray Harryhausen, special effects artist; William Mayo, physician.

Your Birthday for June 28, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 28th, 2014

Born today, you are quick to run down any kind of lead that could ultimately give you the advantage over your competitors and rivals. However, there are times when you may be too keen on bending the rules and using your knowledge to exert an unfair influence on others in order to see that you come out on top. In other words, you may at times come very close to cheating in order to have things come out your way. This, of course, is not acceptable! You must learn to play by the rules if you are going to play for keeps. You cannot allow yourself to do or say anything that may be interpreted as a violation of any kind. In short, you mustn't be so keen on victory that you will stop at nothing to win.

Surround yourself with those who can speak plainly to you, especially when what they have to tell you is perhaps not what you want to hear. In this way, you will avoid situations that could prove detrimental. Your friends can protect you from your own worst enemy -- you!

Also born on this date are: King Henry VIII of England; John Elway, football player; Mel Brooks, actor and filmmaker; Kathy Bates, actress; John Cusack, actor; Pat Morita, actor; Gilda Radner, actress and comedian; Richard Rodgers, composer; Mary Stuart Masterson, actress; Bruce Davison, actor.

SUNDAY, JUNE 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A neighbor may need your help before the day is out. It's not enough to say you'll be there when needed; you must post a constant presence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It's time once again for thoughts of love to lead you where they will -- though you mustn't leave rational thought out of the picture entirely!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're going to need a reminder or two as the day wears on; you mustn't forget something that another needs rather desperately.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself engaged in an unintentional fight to the finish. Your rival is someone worthy of your respect.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It's time to make that final push, as you will soon have to work with what you've got -- whether it is enough or not.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will want to be sure that everything is done in the proper sequence. There is no room for improvisation of any kind right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll realize that a current problem boils down to something you've not wanted to address until very recently. Now's the time!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be surprised to learn that someone has been taking care of business all along, without your explicit instructions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today you'll wish you were able to go back and undo what was done in the heat of the moment. Instead, you can ease tensions another way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The longer you wait to do something special for yourself, the less likely it will be to give you the boost you really need right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have trouble doing the little things because your thoughts are taken up by something really big waiting just around the corner.

Your Birthday for June 27, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 27th, 2014

Born today, you tend, at times, to get wrapped up in issues that are not central to your primary endeavors, and this in turn can sap you of needed strength and focus when the chips are down. The remedy, of course, is that you learn to recognize when you are being distracted -- by circumstances, by a rival, or merely by changing trends -- and to redouble your efforts to remain on task and focused on that which is most important to you. At times, it is beneficial to you to surround yourself with those who can help you remain centered and true to yourself. Using help certainly does not demonstrate weakness of any kind -- indeed, it can mean quite the opposite!

You have no problem doing and saying what is necessary in a given situation; your willingness to face the truth is one of your greatest strengths. You know the difference between what is factual and what is only conjecture, yet you understand that knowing a thing and guessing about it can be closely related.

Also born on this date are: Khloe Kardashian, TV personality; Helen Keller, author and activist; Tobey Maguire, actor; Bob Keeshan, TV personality; Vera Wang, designer; J.J. Abrams, writer and director; Lorrie Morgan, singer; Julia Duffy, actress; Norma Kamali, designer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The difference between big and bigger will come into sharp focus for you as you address two competing situations that cannot be ignored.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have a clever way of accomplishing what others think cannot be done. As a result, you'll be able to score a key personal victory.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Trouble may be brewing on the home front because of a mixed message you have recently sent. You can nip this in the bud, however.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The promise of something better has you making plans. A friend gives you a chance that you hadn't expected. A second try pays off.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're facing a situation that requires you to look at things with renewed clarity and honesty. Focus on things you know you can impact.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can do something nice for someone who doesn't expect that kind of gesture. The result will be something you'll enjoy for a while.
