Your Birthday for June 14, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 14th, 2015

Born today, you are not always what you seem to be -- and this may prove to be a major frustration to those who try to second-guess you, outmaneuver you or otherwise set themselves against you in some way. The truth is, they can never truly gain the advantage over someone they can only pretend to know! You are likely to recognize, early in life, that you can get far by concealing certain aspects of your personality from the world at large; indeed, this is sure to remain a key strategy of yours in the face of both opportunity and adversity, throughout your lifetime. You do run the risk of becoming a rather shadowy, nefarious character, but it is a small risk, and it needn't cause any real harm.

Your creative energies are remarkable to behold; when you set yourself to a creative task, you are likely to be the wonder of many who cannot understand where such ability and passion can possibly come from! You get great pleasure out of doing things that others mistakenly think cannot be done!

Also born on this date are: Donald Trump, entrepreneur; Yasmine Bleeth, actress; Boy George, singer; Che Guevara, revolutionary; Marla Gibbs, actress; Harriet Beecher Stowe, author; Steffi Graf, tennis player; Burl Ives, singer and actor; Eric Heiden, Olympic speed skater; Will Patton, actor; Lang Lang, pianist; Gene Barry, actor; Pierre Salinger, politician; Jerzy Kosinski, author.

MONDAY, JUNE 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Focus on the things that have the simplest explanations. You'll take great comfort from such basics, and their meaning will increase.

Your Birthday for June 13, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 13th, 2015

Born today, you are drawn to all endeavors that allow -- nay, encourage -- the free expression of your emotions, thoughts, dreams, desires and even those rumblings from deep within your secret self, for it is all of these that make you who you are. You know it, and you are never ashamed of anything that has gone into your makeup -- your genetic and spiritual ingredients, if you will -- and you will always share these components freely with those around you. There may be times when your behavior in this regard crosses some lines and challenges others more than they may wish to be challenged -- but that says more about them than it does about you. You're not the kind to stop doing something only because others are bothered by it!

You can be soft-spoken and very gently persuasive -- and then, in the next moment, aggressively forceful, insistent that others bend to your will. In this way, you are very much the Gemini native: one who harbors two seemingly conflicting types within one psyche. It is something you are reasonably sure to come to understand very well about yourself.

Also born on this date are: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, actresses; Tim Allen, comedian and actor; Ally Sheedy, actress; Malcolm McDowell, actor; Richard Thomas, actor; Paul Lynde, actor; Stellan Skarsgard, actor; Basil Rathbone, actor; William Butler Yeats, poet; Christo, artist.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are very close to solving a mystery that you've been working on for some time. One final clue waits to be uncovered nearby.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're facing a rather complex situation that will require you to apply all you know of a certain topic in order to prevail.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You should be able to avoid the widening of a small rift between friends. In fact, what you say can have a lasting impact.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be looking for help of a certain kind that could be quite difficult to find. Still, it can be yours by day's end.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are able to do much that others think cannot be done, and it all depends on starting in exactly the right place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to keep many secrets, but you may want to keep one particular thing under wraps for at least a little longer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're chasing down a mystery of sorts, and today's journey leads you in an unusual -- but exciting -- direction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are worrying just a bit too much about what your critics are saying about you, but in fact they're likely to have little impact.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is a good time to risk more than usual in order to gain a bit more than you originally expected. The odds are in your favor for now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You want others to find your work interesting enough to warrant support -- both psychological and financial.

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.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be swamped by those who think your ideas are top-notch, though you may not yet be ready to put any of them in motion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have trouble keeping up with someone who has figured out a way to gain the advantage over you, even if only temporarily.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may want to make a change that will be virtually impossible without someone else's consent -- and, when it comes down to it, hands-on help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to hear from someone who has been keeping up with your antics despite a recent severing of contact. Things are looking up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have wondered what it's all for, but you'll get a sign that points you in a new direction, affording many valuable options.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Don't do anything that you can't undo without first talking to someone who knows the current situation better than you do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be taking things a bit too lightly for some, though nothing they say or do is likely to change your attitude one bit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Give things a little more time to settle, and you'll marvel at how well they're going, despite your initial reservations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may encounter some opposition, even from members of your own team. They have a few very good questions you must answer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be devoting quite enough time or energy to a certain work project. You're likely to receive a warning of sorts.
