Your Birthday for July 01, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 1st, 2015

Born today, you are confident and capable. You are always able to travel easily from one place to another and mix well with those who call each new place home. You thrive on making deep and lasting connections with other people in both your work and your personal affairs. You are interested in what makes people tick -- what they do, why they do it and what it may bring them in the long run. When you give someone your keen attention, he or she often feels as though you are bestowing a special gift -- and indeed you are, for there is nothing deceptive or insincere about your attention. When you focus on someone, you do so for very honest reasons, most often because you want to learn something about that other person that you will find important and unique.

You are not shy or bashful, yet you can be quite humble. You recognize that while you may have been endowed with much that is valuable to you, there are others who are just as lucky as you are, if not luckier. You never try to hide from those you consider superior to yourself; rather, you seek them out!

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 athlete; Jamie Farr, actor; Karen Black, actress; Nelson Cruz, baseball player; Twyla Tharp, dancer and choreographer; Genevieve Bujold, actress; Alan Ruck, actor; Leslie Caron, actress; Charles Laughton, actor; Sydney Pollack, director.

THURSDAY, JULY 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your toughest battle yet is likely to be won before it is even fought. Much depends on planning -- and your state of mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to think carefully before speaking your mind. Be sure to put the words together in a way that is acceptable and proper.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The information that you must deliver to someone in charge may have to be disguised somewhat if you're to avoid unwanted attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have the chance to try something entirely new, but you'll surely bring past experience to bear and acquit yourself well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be making a special appearance of sorts before the day is out. Make sure that you keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can be quite persuasive, but you may want to take a more subtle, passive approach. Let others make discoveries.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Discussion eventually results in action. You'll come into your own when things get started and the pace increases.

Your Birthday for June 30, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 30th, 2015

Born today, you are a real go-getter, and no one who knows you would ever think for a moment that something is out of your reach. Time and time again, when you set something in your sights, you achieve it, regardless of the effort it requires. You are something of a visionary: You can imagine that which is yet to be, and you see it in your mind's eye in such detail and with such clarity that transforming it into reality is merely a matter of logistics and practical application. There may well be nothing that you cannot do as long as it is even remotely possible. You're likely to have many goals in your lifetime, and you will almost surely reach most if not all of them.

You are by no means perfect, of course! You do have your weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and there will be times in your life when others exploit them to your detriment. What you must always avoid, however, is getting in your own way and being the cause of trouble in your own life.

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.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be afraid to live in the past, but you'll soon have a chance to let a memory inspire you rather than hold you back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll benefit from a renewed perspective. What you see, and how you see it, will all seem to come together quite well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're in no mood for meaningless interaction; you want things to be important somehow, to mean something, to matter.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your patience may be at an ebb as a result of delayed negotiations with someone who isn't on your schedule.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're trying to communicate clearly and effectively, but someone insists on getting in the way. You may have to change tactics.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- To do a thing right, you're going to have to attempt it more than once. Be ready for a certain amount of initial disappointment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to see things transpire exactly as expected -- until something happens quite suddenly to blow it all out of the water.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are not ready to put your talents on display just yet, but you may not have the option of waiting another day. Do what you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're fully expecting someone else to come out on top, but you don't really understand how close you can come yourself!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's important for you to think about where you have been and where you are going. Don't skip anything!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can prove that you have what it takes, but you may have to do so in a way that is almost completely new to you. Have fun!

Your Birthday for June 29, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 29th, 2015

Born today, you take great joy in life at all times, and you never seem to let the more difficult times get you down -- at least, not in any way that is truly lasting. You carry no significant scars inside; you are not the kind to let the events of the world wound you in any significant manner. Your smile is luminous, your laugh is infectious and your zest for life is something that others would do well to capture for themselves -- for it is the very thing that allows you to rise each and every day looking forward, quite sincerely, to whatever may come. You seem immune to the disappointment and frustration that can haunt those around you.

You maintain relationships that are constantly growing, evolving and progressing. You are not one to sit still for long and allow yourself -- or others -- to become old and stale. Indeed, you are one of the most youthful individuals born under your sign for the simple reason that you insist on being forever active!

Also born on this date are: Nicole Scherzinger, singer; Gary Busey, actor; Slim Pickens, actor; Harmon Killebrew, baseball player; Nelson Eddy, singer; Richard Lewis, comedian and actor; Fred Grandy, actor; Ray Harryhausen, special effects animator; William Mayo, physician.

TUESDAY, JUNE 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be moving along at a good clip throughout the day. Don't let yourself be slowed by someone else's lack of attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're very interested in what a certain message means, but are you willing to make yourself vulnerable to find out?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're only interested in that which is straightforward and uncluttered. Simplicity is the watchword -- and must be for several days to come.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are still harboring one or two serious doubts, but today's events can help you to banish them -- perhaps permanently.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be tempted by an offer that comes to you from an unusual source, through unconventional channels. Mount an investigation!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you don't know can certainly hurt you. You'll want to be sure that you have all the up-to-date info you need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You've been drifting from one thing to the other lately, unsure of where the current will take you. It's time to navigate with more intent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Others are depending on you, yet you may not be of a mind to do what you've been assigned in the way that others expect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A few will know what you're really up to, but most will be in the dark. You must not be tempted to mount any further deception.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Keep your eyes and ears open, and don't let yourself miss that one key piece of information that can make all the difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The value of a thing is not in what it cost you financially, but what it will cost you emotionally if it is lost. Hang on tight to it!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are nearing a crossroads of sorts, and you'll be expected to make a decision that others consider permanent.
