Your Birthday for July 02, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 2nd, 2014

Born today, you are likely to get an early start at a long and lucrative career, though you may have one or two personal battles to fight and win along the way in order to fulfill your considerable potential. You seem to be pulled in several directions at once from time to time, and as you earn greater recognition due to personal success, you may find yourself yearning for another kind of satisfaction altogether. This could be a danger to you, as you risk derailing yourself and winding up with little or nothing if you are not careful. However, if you remain focused and steer clear of the more obvious dangers that threaten to spring up in your path, there is no reason why you cannot have it all and enjoy your work and your life to the fullest.

Your creative energies are ever flowing and quite forceful. You have a keen instinct for what works, and you have the ability to see things from a new and exciting perspective. In both your work and your personal life, you may prove something of a trailblazer, trying things that are surprising, exciting and new.

Also born on this date are: Ashley Tisdale, actress; Lindsay Lohan, actress; Larry David, producer; Richard Petty, auto racer; Thurgood Marshall, Supreme Court Justice; Jerry Hall, model; Jose Canseco, baseball player; Ken Curtis, actor; Johnny Weir, figure skater; Pierre Cardin, designer; Erin Burnett, journalist; Ron Silver, actor; Hermann Hesse, writer; Saul Rubinek, actor.

THURSDAY, JULY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to travel far to cash out, but once you do, you'll have enough in your purse to get you back home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be operating under the mistaken assumption that no one is paying attention to you. Nothing could be further from the truth!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The rules you make for yourself are likely to be much stricter than those meant for others. The result is a rewarding level of discipline.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may hear of another's plans in a manner that makes you feel left out for a time -- until you realize the journey is not your cup of tea.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you hear through the grapevine may actually prove more useful to you than anything you discover on your own through careful research.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's the perfect time to seek help from someone who has withheld it in the past. Almost everyone is feeling more genial and cooperative.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can stake a claim that will be honored for quite some time. Others are in no position to say "no" to you directly or indirectly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The chase you are currently engaged in may end in a sudden, strange fashion before the day is out. Who will be run aground?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The questions you are asking at this time are certainly valid and important. No one knows the answers, though you are very close.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Despite a claim of inexperience, you may come to the conclusion that you are, in fact, the best person for the job.

Your Birthday for July 01, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 1st, 2014

Born today, you have that "certain something" that makes you the center of attention almost everywhere you go, and the ability to change the dynamic of a gathering simply by your presence. Of course, you are never content with doing nothing! You are driven by desire and vision to contribute to what is going on around you in a positive, often game-changing way. You have all kinds of ideas about the world in which you live and how to make it a better place for everyone, in ways both large and small. What you do counts for much, and even seemingly trivial contributions you make prove important in the long run.

You cherish your privacy, and this may result in some conflict in your life as you try to balance it with your innate need to be a part of something important. You will have your critics, certainly, but for the most part your endeavors will be looked upon with favor by the world at large.

Also born on this date are: Diana, Princess of Wales; Pamela Anderson, actress; Dan Aykroyd, actor; Liv Tyler, actress; Deborah Harry, singer; Olivia de Havilland, actress; Carl Lewis, Olympic track star; Jamie Farr, actor; Karen Black, actress; Nelson Cruz, baseball player; Genevieve Bujold, actress; Twyla Tharp, dancer and choreographer; Alan Ruck, actor; Leslie Caron, actress; Charles Laughton, actor; Sydney Pollack, director.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're in a position that requires you to trust another far more than you normally would. You'll realize that everything is in good hands.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can wash yourself and your entire life clean of any residual mess that was left when someone else failed to solve a nasty problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're waiting on someone to tell you what must be done, even though you know full well what is required and what you are capable of doing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have just finished an enormous project of which you are very proud. Take time to enjoy the accomplishment -- and to assess its merits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A domestic situation turns ugly for a time as you try to juggle too many things at once. You must pay attention to the key issues.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's your turn, and you'll want to make the best possible showing. You oughtn't merely copy what someone else has done.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What began as a collaboration may seem a bit one-sided to you at this point. The truth is, you've done the lion's share!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone you trust implicitly is likely to give you words of encouragement that do more than encourage. You may be truly inspired!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may need some kind of assistance as you muster up several ideas that you hope to put into motion very soon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Travel plans are likely to change as a result of news you get in the nick of time. It's not your fault, but things may take longer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can dispose of things in the proper way and never have to deal with them again -- or you can make a mistake that costs you much.

Your Birthday for June 30, 2014

by Stella Wilder

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.

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.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're waiting for someone else to make the first move, but today is not likely to be the day. Patience is required.

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.
