Your Birthday for July 03, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 3rd, 2015

Born today, you are never one to shy away from an opportunity, especially if you feel, deep down in your gut, that it may be the opportunity of a lifetime, one that secures your place in the annals of professional evolution and success. You like things to happen quickly; you're not a big fan of a long, drawn out process, whether in your personal life or professional affairs. Once you know what you want and how to get it, you're likely to skip most preliminary steps and get right to work securing your success. This can be a good thing, surely, but it is a double-edged sword: While this approach can bring you startling success and even make you rich, that success and those riches may not last long if gained in such a way.

You don't always seem to know yourself as well as you might -- or, in truth, as well as some others know you. This can be a real liability, so it is essential that you always surround yourself with trusted individuals who can tell you what you need to know about yourself at any given time.

Also born on this date are: Tom Cruise, actor; Thomas Gibson, actor; Sandra Lee, celebrity chef; Kurtwood Smith, actor; Montel Williams, television personality; Moises Alou, baseball player; Hunter Tylo, model and actress; George M. Cohan, songwriter; Betty Buckley, actress and singer; George Sanders, actor; Tom Stoppard, playwright; Ken Russell, director; Aaron Tippin, singer.

SATURDAY, JULY 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're counting on luck to see you through, but the truth is that you can exert a lasting influence that can be felt and appreciated by many.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll enjoy an unusual opportunity, and what you do with it will surely tell others a great deal about you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You shouldn't try too hard to gain the advantage, as you may actually move backward when trying too aggressively to move forward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You know how to get things done your way, and you'll be able to do just that -- once you get past one stubborn obstacle.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will require more information than is now coming your way. As a result, tomorrow may be a better day to get started.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may come late to the party, but once you've arrived, you'll have so much to offer that everyone will respond quite productively.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know what is coming, and you know that it is virtually unstoppable. Today, you must be willing to accept the inevitable and work with it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Balance is the key. You'll want to be more aggressive, perhaps, in how you lead -- but not too much more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Listen to what others have to say, and you'll have all the information you need, when you need it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What was once purely academic is likely to be wholly practical today. You're going to have to face a certain reality head-on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You know what you want, but you also know that it is probably further away than you had hoped or feared. Patience is indeed a virtue.

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.
