Your Birthday for July 02, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 2nd, 2015

Born today, you are likely to get an early and exciting start on a professional track that could, quite possibly, lead you directly to the pinnacle of success. There is, of course, a catch -- when is there not? If you're going to make the most of your potential and the opportunities you discover when you are young, you must be sure that you are doing so in a way that is true to your inner self, that part of you that is inflexible and unbending in its desires and ideals, that which remains your true core through thick and thin. If you find yourself following the wrong path, you can always change course and correct your navigational error, but you must first recognize that you are on the wrong path, otherwise disaster may strike.

Whether you enjoy beginner's luck in life or have to work hard to ensure that everything is in sync with your inner self, you're not the kind to take any sort of success for granted. When you're on top, you'll appreciate and savor it, all the while knowing full well that it cannot last forever.

Also born on this date are: Ashley Tisdale, actress; Lindsay Lohan, actress; Larry David, producer; Richard Petty, auto racer; Thurgood Marshall, Supreme Court justice; Jerry Hall, model; Jose Canseco, baseball player; Ken Curtis, actor; Johnny Weir, figure skater; Pierre Cardin, designer; Erin Burnett, television journalist; Ron Silver, actor; Hermann Hesse, writer; Saul Rubinek, actor.

FRIDAY, JULY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be afforded a long-distance view straight ahead. As a result, you will know what's coming much better than most.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The direction you are currently moving may not seem right to you on a basic, instinctive level. By day's end, you can make a key change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Success at the end of the day depends on how you set things up early on. Be sure to leave no stone unturned as you prepare for what comes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to get the lay of the land before you commit yourself to a task you anticipate will be more difficult than others expect.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want all your ducks in a row before starting out. Once you have made sure that all priorities are covered, you can follow your instincts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be able to assume a position that is stronger than any you've recently enjoyed. Think about joining forces with another.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You will be expected to fulfill certain responsibilities, and much will depend on how you hold up under a self-imposed burden.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can afford to do things with a little more abandon than usual. Anticipation of another's response will be key.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone close to you knows just what you are going through -- or thinks he does. You may have to set him straight before day's end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A meeting of the minds results in progress of a sort that has been slow in coming in the past. Something new is beginning now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will succeed only if you are willing to communicate fully -- even passing along information that you wish weren't so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have a chance to relive something with someone who was an important part of your life, but who only plays a peripheral role these days.

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.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know that what you've been asked to do is not going to be easy, yet you maintain a cool and confident air.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can produce something quite exciting, even novel, out of that which you and others know intimately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your seeming ability to tell the future is likely to be put to an important test. Others are relying on you to show the way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- An overview gives you the general idea, but you must focus on the details in order to come up with a foolproof plan.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not be believed at first, but if you keep telling your story -- without embellishment -- you'll win others over, certainly.

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!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You've received some good advice lately, but you may feel that you are not in a position to follow up on it just yet.

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!
