Your Birthday for June 30, 2014

Your Birthday | June 30th, 2014

Born today, you are a natural strategist, able to keep a plan squarely in mind as it evolves, able to think several steps ahead as it falls together, and able to perform many different related tasks at one time in order to keep it alive and productive. Planning, for you, is something of a game: Can you keep all the balls in the air? You are good at multitasking, of course, and even those who pride themselves on that ability are impressed with how you juggle things in both your personal life and your professional affairs. You don't give a great deal of thought to criticism; you simply keep on moving forward with confidence and enthusiasm.

You have tremendous mental or physical stamina -- and because it is not likely that you will need both very often, it is all right with you if you have only one of these attributes. You enjoy what you do so much that others may think that you don't take it very seriously -- which is, of course, entirely untrue.

Also born on this date are: Michael Phelps, Olympic swimmer; Mike Tyson, boxer; Lena Horne, singer; Leonard Whiting, actor; Susan Hayward, actress; Monica Potter, actress; Vincent D'Onofrio, actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TUESDAY, JULY 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be surprised to learn that a rival has been keeping up with you for quite a while now, but he or she has remained in the shadows.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be eager to play a bigger part in some important affairs, but have you proven your worth -- or your ability to go the distance?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your decision-making process may come under some scrutiny, but the way things pan out, you're likely to be vindicated by day's end.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You've been making plans and securing all the permissions and other "go-aheads" that you deem necessary. You may encounter opposition, however.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The farther you go, the more you will have to entertain the notion that home is, indeed, where you most belong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll find the time to share some memories with someone who helped you make them in the first place. Something new beckons you as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The responsibility you feel toward someone who looks up to you is on the rise. It's time to draw boundaries, perhaps.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone older and wiser offers you a piece of advice that doesn't seem to suit the situation -- but it's worth exploring, certainly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to change your strategy when it comes to job security. Other key issues arise that primarily affect domestic relations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's time for you to show someone just what you're made of, but this will involve an emotional or intellectual statement, not a physical one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You feel closer to someone who has been trying to court your favor for some time. Indeed, you both find much to like in each other.

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.

MONDAY, JUNE 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be unusually fatigued throughout much of the day; pace yourself, and give yourself enough time to catch up with others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The physical and the intellectual combine into something that affects you primarily on an emotional level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been taking shortcuts lately, but today you'll get an important reminder: Sometimes, the long way is the best way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- How you reorder your priorities will matter a great deal -- not only to you, but to those who work closely with you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been working hard on a project that means a great deal to you. It may be time to put it aside for a while to let it ripen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're sure to get inspiration and valuable ideas from all kinds of sources today. It's simply a matter of keeping your eyes open.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone is ready to give you a great deal more responsibility, but are you ready to take it on? This requires some honest reflection.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A childhood memory suddenly means much more to you than it has in the past. Many other things seem to increase in value as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be in the mood for what lies ahead, but there's very little you can to do avoid it. It's time for a new attitude!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to show someone the ropes, but before you do you, must be sure that you have all the up-to-date information you need.

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.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll have the chance to put on quite a show. Those lucky enough to catch your act will have nothing but good things to say.

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.
