Your Birthday for June 23, 2015

Your Birthday | June 23rd, 2015

Born today, you are always able to influence those around you in some way, but whether that way will be positive or negative, lasting or short-lived, depends in large part upon the prevailing circumstances and your own mood. If you are in high spirits and eager to get along with others, then surely you will influence people in a positive way; if you are down in the dumps or feeling in any way put upon or oppressed, then you will influence those around you accordingly -- and they're not likely to forget it any time soon! Either way, the stars will surely exert their own influence, dictating whether what you do will be a part of people's experience for the short term or the long by presenting circumstances that you cannot completely control.

You embrace certain ideals and principles that will always form a lasting foundation for your life. You're not the kind to drift aimlessly among contrasting and conflicting beliefs. You know what is most important to you at any given time, and you will always give that the priority it deserves.

Also born on this date are: Randy Jackson, producer and television personality; Jason Mraz, singer-songwriter; Selma Blair, actress; June Carter Cash, singer; Wilma Rudolph, Olympic runner; Frances McDormand, actress; Bob Fosse, director and choreographer; Clarence Thomas, U.S. Supreme Court justice; Bryan Brown, actor.

Your Birthday for June 22, 2015

Your Birthday | June 22nd, 2015

Born today, you are likely to make a remarkable splash at an early age, attracting attention, winning praise for your stellar talents and accomplishing more in a very short time than others may accomplish in a lifetime. You are able, ambitious and always on the move; you don't like standing still, and you never like to see a day go by without making some kind of professional progress. It could be said that you are a workaholic, but the truth is that while you feel compelled to stay busy and apply yourself day after day, seemingly without rest, you always manage to maintain a balanced and healthy outlook about what you are doing -- and why. Perhaps most important of all, you find a way to have fun at all times!

You are not always in high spirits, however; life can get you down now and then, but you have a way of keeping things in perspective so that you don't become overwhelmed or feel that you cannot prevail. Lose that unique perspective, however, and you risk much -- perhaps everything.

Also born on this date are: Meryl Streep, actress; Cyndi Lauper, singer; Kris Kristofferson, singer and actor; Carson Daly, television host; Freddie Prinze, actor and comedian; Lindsay Wagner, actress; Bruce Campbell, actor; Todd Rundgren, singer-songwriter; Dan Brown, author; Dianne Feinstein, politician; Peter Asher, producer; John Dillinger, outlaw; Amy Brenneman, actress; Billy Wilder, filmmaker; Ed Bradley, journalist.

TUESDAY, JUNE 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your creative energies are running high, but you may be stuck by an outdated notion of duty. Soon you can be liberated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must do what you can to remain on a straight course throughout the day. Unnecessary turns and side trips must be avoided.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Watch and listen to those who are in control, and you'll see just how much you already have in common with them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take care that your flirting doesn't go too far -- unless, of course, that's exactly where you want it to go!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can manage to create something exciting for yourself and others. Stay on the good side of someone who can provide funds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll spend a good deal of the day trying to solve a puzzle that was handed to you by someone who is in over his or her head.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're feeling unusually nervy, and the result may be that you are able to talk someone into something quite unexpected.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Generosity is the key to a harmonious and profitable day; the more you are willing to give to others, the more you'll receive in return.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- New ways of doing things are in development, and you are likely to get used to them more quickly than others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There's no such thing as a lost cause when you are on the case! Others are looking to you to perform something of a miracle.

Your Birthday for June 21, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 21st, 2015

Born today, you enjoy trying to beat the odds. Indeed, the more unlikely victory may seem, the more likely you are to go after it wholeheartedly, with no fear, doubt or uncertainty. You like taking risks; indeed, you believe that nothing worth having in life comes risk-free. You must always face some sort of danger if you are to come out of a situation better, stronger and richer. Like most Cancer natives, you insist on doing things your own way, but there is often a small voice in the back of your head that suggests alternatives to you along the way. When you listen to that voice, you may behave in ways that are rather inconsistent and surprising to others.

If you can imagine it, you can make it real; this is the simplest expression of your attitude toward life. Nothing is impossible, as long as you can visualize it first. Once you have done that, you will work long and hard to express in reality what you first created in your mind. You are a dreamer, yes, but you can dream things true!

Also born on this date are: Prince William of Great Britain; Juliette Lewis, actress; Meredith Baxter, actress; Jane Russell, actress; Michael Gross, actor; Jean-Paul Sartre, philosopher and author; Mariette Hartley, actress; Kathy Mattea, singer; Al Hirschfeld, caricaturist; Tony Scott, filmmaker; Bernie Kopell, actor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may wake with a new sense of purpose. Indeed, there are many options, and one in particular can prove unusually fulfilling.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone is likely to criticize your approach, but don't let yourself become insecure or uncertain. Give it time!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your old-fashioned qualities are coming to the fore. You'll find a certain satisfaction in more traditional methods.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to realize that, in the midst of answering so many questions, you've come up with even more questions that also need answers!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your creative energies can be put to good use, filling in where someone else has been unable to do what is required.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to wait until very late in the day to get things done as you had hoped. Certain circumstances are causing delays.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A certain situation or person may be forcing your hand, causing you to do something before you feel you are truly ready.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- There's no time like the present. Though you may not do your best work every minute, current efforts certainly can pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may doubt the quality of your own ideas, but that will change as soon as you put a new one in motion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The earlier you start, the sooner you'll begin to see results, but don't expect that you'll be able to knock off early.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your ability to see through any sort of deception will keep you and others from falling prey to someone who tries to take advantage of you.
