Your Birthday for June 20, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 20th, 2015

Born today, you are able to keep things in perspective even when it seems that those around you are completely unable to do the same, or when the world at large seems to be falling apart. How are you able to remain so calm, cool and collected? The truth is simply that you are a rather cool customer, able to control your passions at all times. You are not at the mercy of those primal, instinctive surges that tend to weaken others as they break forth. There are some who claim you are rather cold and aloof -- indeed, you can be both of these when circumstances require it. But you can also engage your feelings in a healthy, balanced fashion when you want to; you are never a slave to your emotions.

What this allows you to do is to use your emotional currents to your advantage in all manner of situations -- both personal and professional. Indeed, you are likely to be a master of personal expression, one who knows just what to say and how to say it, while maintaining the emotional truth at the core of the message.

Also born on this date are: Nicole Kidman, actress; Lionel Richie, singer-songwriter; John Goodman, actor; Brian Wilson, singer; Grace Potter, singer; Audie Murphy, actor; Anne Murray, singer; Danny Aiello, actor; Errol Flynn, actor; Martin Landau, actor; Robert Rodriguez, filmmaker; Josh Lucas, actor; John Mahoney, actor; Olympia Dukakis, actress; Stephen Frears, filmmaker.

SUNDAY, JUNE 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to discover that a certain change in venue -- one that you have been considering for a while -- is actually a very good idea!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The time has come for you to show someone in charge what you are capable of doing when the chips are down. You can score a major victory.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should be able to do exactly what you want to do without running everything by the usual authority figures. Enjoy this sense of freedom!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to give another a little more leeway than usual. What comes around, as a result, can do you a world of good.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to pick up the pace somewhat in order to meet a new deadline. This was not something that you had anything to do with!

Your Birthday for June 19, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 19th, 2015

Born today, you are one of the most active individuals you know, one who will promptly make a decision and then act on it immediately, certain that that is the way to ensure quick -- and lasting -- success. That fact that you can transform thought into action so rapidly gives you a tremendous advantage over others; you are not the kind to wait around for further signs that you are on the right path. If the path you choose proves to be the wrong one, you will simply change your mind, and your course, and make the best of the change to improve your odds in the process. You don't want to take on the responsibility of deciding things for others, however; you are perfectly willing to take risks when it comes to yourself, but endangering others is not for you.

You have hot and roiling passions just beneath the surface. When they break forth, out of control, you often do and say things that you will surely regret. It is important, therefore, that you know how to use your passions; like rocket fuel, they can propel you to the stars -- or burst into flames and consume you.

Also born on this date are: Macklemore, rapper; Paula Abdul, singer; Phylicia Rashad, actress; Moe Howard, actor and comedian; Lou Gehrig, baseball player; Mia Sara, actress; Hugh Dancy, actor; Kathleen Turner, actress; Ann Wilson, singer; Gena Rowlands, actress; Poppy Montgomery, actress; Paul Dano, actor; Salman Rushdie, author; Pier Angeli, actress; Louis Jourdan, actor; Mildred Natwick, actress.

SATURDAY, JUNE 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You've planned for a little more excitement than usual, but can a friend or loved one handle what you have in store? Be sure!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll have the opportunity to share yourself in a new way. Don't shy away! You'll discover some potential you never knew you had!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's important that you please yourself, surely, but you'll be compelled to reach out to another and please him or her first.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can surely gain a great deal by doing exactly what you are told to do; there's no need to assert your own autonomy just now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are more interested in testing the system than acting in blind support of it. Truly, there is something to be gained.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have a great deal of personal style, and the substance to match it. You can find ways to combine them quite effectively.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be dancing around a certain issue, avoiding it in some creative ways, but you are doing yourself and others a disservice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself attracted to a certain endeavor that challenges you in a profound way. There are very real dangers to be avoided.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Putting yourself in another's shoes can broaden your own awareness, bringing you and a friend much closer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must be sure that what you are getting is indeed what you want; if it's not, you have only a little time to make things right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will benefit from an unusual personal insight. What you see when you look in the mirror goes far beyond mere appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You should be able to minimize any ill effects from a decision that was, to say the least, hasty. Soon you can undo them altogether.

Your Birthday for June 18, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 18th, 2015

Born today, you are one of the most aggressively forward of all Gemini natives. You will always pursue your dreams in a straightforward, unabashed way that attracts both admiration and criticism from the world at large. Indeed, it may seem to some that you simply break the rules and do whatever you want, whenever you want -- and this may sometimes be quite true! To others, however, it is clear that you are simply shaping the world to suit your needs, dreams and desires, rather than shaping yourself to suit the world as you find it. This is the difference between you and most other mere mortals: You can truly change the world -- if not for others, then at least for yourself.

You recognize, of course, that there are rules to follow, and that not following any rules at all leads to nothing but anarchy and chaos. But what you also recognize is that you can, in many situations, actually make the rules, rather than waiting for another to make them for you. In this way, you maintain your beloved autonomy!

Also born on this date are: Blake Shelton, singer; Sir Paul McCartney, singer-songwriter; Isabella Rossellini, actress; Jeanette MacDonald, actress; Roger Ebert, film critic; Carol Kane, actress and comedian; Kurt Browning, figure skater; Richard Boone, actor; Sammy Cahn, songwriter.

FRIDAY, JUNE 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone close to you is ready and willing to give you the help you need, but you're going to have to swallow your pride and ask for it!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are more likely to believe an illusion that is presented to you than anything real that lies before you. What is going on?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're in need of a little more clarity. You can shift things around a bit to afford yourself a better view of what lies ahead.

CANCER (June 21-(July 22) -- Now is a good time to launch an effort that is far more straightforward than any you have tried in the recent past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Others are in disagreement about how best to approach a certain situation in order to avoid a crisis. You seem to know just what to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take a good look at what lies ahead, and you'll realize that the landscape is largely of your own making.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Navigation should prove as simple as putting one foot in front of the other. Nothing should complicate matters more if your luck holds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Focus on details; you already have a clear understanding of the big picture and what it means. You can get some good work done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You know how to get to the heart of the matter, but you may also realize that not everyone will appreciate your doing so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There is a very real danger that you will end up standing in your own way -- especially if you ignore a certain piece of advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've been drinking from the same well for quite some time, and there is a danger of it running dry very soon. It's time to diversify.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be quite susceptible to the kinds of persuasion that have done damage to others recently. You must be more resistant!
