Your Birthday for June 12, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 12th, 2015

Born today, you are a keen student of the world and, in particular, of human nature. You are sure to amass a large body of knowledge of what people do, how and when they do it, and most importantly, why they do it. It is this last that will surely give you the advantage in the life you choose to build for yourself. You have no objections to being an underling, to taking orders and doing what you are told -- provided you are confident that you can carry out those orders well and demonstrate your skills in a unique and memorable way, opening doors for yourself as a result. For the truth is, of course, that you don't want to be an underling forever! Indeed, you have tremendous aspirations and ambitions, and though you often keep them to yourself, they are no less strong and compelling.

You are likely to be around for quite some time -- both in life and in the profession of your choice. Once you stake your claim to greatness -- for greatness is indeed quite possible for you! -- you are likely to maintain high standing throughout the remainder of your many years.

Also born on this date are: George H. W. Bush, U.S. president; Anne Frank, diarist; Jim Nabors, actor and singer; Chick Corea, musician; Vic Damone, singer; Marv Albert, sportscaster.

Your Birthday for June 11, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 11th, 2015

Born today, you are the type to come seemingly from nowhere to take the crowd by storm and achieve what has never been done before. It may be too much to claim that you have a destiny, but you are sure to go through life thinking that yes, indeed, there is a plan to things, and that you are following the direction that you are meant to follow -- by fate, the stars or what have you. Indeed, you seem to have a keen awareness of the role that "luck" plays in your life, to use the term favored by others. The truth as you understand it, however, is that things do not happen entirely by accident, that events and people and relationships are all interconnected, and that by knowing how, you can take advantage of those connections time and time again.

You are drawn toward physical expressions -- of love, of anger, of joy, of sadness -- and you're not the type to limit this kind of expression, even when it means subjecting yourself to ridicule or misinterpretation. You are who you are, and that's all there is to it!

Also born on this date are: Shia LaBeouf, actor; Joe Montana, football player; Hugh Laurie, actor; Gene Wilder, actor; Mehmet Oz, physician and television personality; Vince Lombardi, football coach; Chad Everett, actor; Adrienne Barbeau, actress; Jacques Cousteau, biologist and explorer.

FRIDAY, JUNE 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are eager to explore what lies ahead, but afraid of what others may think of you as a result. You're too concerned with appearances.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must be willing to compromise to some degree. Not everyone will want to follow your rules exclusively.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will want to pay a little more attention to your financial situation, which will get worse and better in turns, incrementally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What can be done should be done, and you know just where you stand when it comes to committing to the right cause.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You understand the need to keep costs down, but there may be a certain unnecessary expense that you simply cannot avoid.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's a good day to settle a long-standing dispute with someone who has been both a supporter and a critic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Not everything is likely to make sense, despite your efforts to find connections and to impose a certain desired order.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself in over your head at some point, but you can rescue yourself simply by making one prudent decision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- No one around you has been able to understand the situation you have created for yourself -- but that is likely to change.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can have what you're looking for, but only after you run a gauntlet of sorts. You'll recognize certain familiar dangers.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The situation you're in is most definitely a two-way street. You can't expect to get anything without giving at least a little in return.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others are sure to find your ideas quite interesting, and some will be compelled to take you up on an offer you make late in the day.

Your Birthday for June 10, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 10th, 2015

Born today, you are a strong and sometimes willful individual, but not so strong and willful that you are able to counter the influences of those who would control you in various ways throughout your lifetime. What this means, of course, is that you must always be aware of what others want from you, what they are asking and what they are willing to do for you in return -- because the trade may not always be fair to you! How your confidence and strength can work for you -- in spades -- is by making you into what could be called a "marketable commodity," someone who is valuable to others and is therefore treated as such. In this way, you can have what you want while giving others what they demand.

Despite being torn between a desire to satisfy others and a need to take care of yourself, you should be able to find a balance that gives you a very contented life, indeed. Control, of course, is the issue; you must always know what you cannot control, what you can and how you can maintain that balance at all times.

Also born on this date are: Kate Upton, model; Judy Garland, actress, singer and entertainer; Hattie McDaniel, actress; Elizabeth Hurley, actress; Tara Lipinski, figure skater; Maurice Sendak, author; Jeanne Tripplehorn, actress; Leelee Sobieski, actress; John Edwards, politician; Gina Gershon, actress; Dan Fouts, football player and sportscaster.

THURSDAY, JUNE 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can trust that a friend or family member knows exactly what must be done to keep you safe while you take a certain calculated risk.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can surely recognize a bad situation when you encounter it; the difficulty will be in avoiding doing anything to make it worse!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- No one is likely to doubt the quality of your work, yet some may question the amount you are turning out. Can you do more?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to work harder than usual to balance what is going on in your head and in your heart. Both processes are valid!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may come under attack from all sides, but what comes at you may not be entirely unexpected; you can surely be prepared.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself closer than usual to a certain danger that you regularly try to keep at bay. What circumstance is causing this?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are likely to have many questions, but only a few must be answered right now. It's up to you to prioritize.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you need and what you want are not at all the same thing -- not today, at any rate. You're going to have to make some tough choices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can expect things to stabilize very soon, but for right now, you'll have to navigate yet another rough patch.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be surprised to learn just who has been listening to you and taking your every word to heart. A change of policy may be required.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your instincts are keen, yet you may begin to question them for a reason that defies understanding. Is more self-doubt to follow?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to see things in a very new way, thanks to a new variable that has an unexpected impact on your daily routine.
