Your Birthday for January 06, 2016

Your Birthday | January 6th, 2016

Born today, you are quite adept at navigating life's twists and turns. This is a skill developed over time, incorporating instinct and a kind of sixth sense that allows you to perceive what may be coming around the next corner with remarkable accuracy. Some may claim you are just lucky in this regard, but the fact is that you anticipate coming events with such remarkable consistency that there simply must be more to it! You apply yourself to all things with single-minded purpose and a willingness to do whatever is necessary to succeed. You are never selfish, however; you will always share the fruits of your labors with others -- both now and over the long haul.

You are sensitive, perceptive and eager to please -- but you are not so concerned with fulfilling the expectations of others that you are imprisoned by them. You are able to maintain your autonomy even when serving others, and you are renowned for doing things your own way.

Also born on this date are: Rowan Atkinson, actor and comedian; Eddie Redmayne, actor; Joan of Arc, soldier and saint; Nigella Lawson, author and chef; Danny Thomas, actor; Loretta Young, actress; Bonnie Franklin, actress; Carl Sandburg, poet and author; Howie Long, football player; Vic Tayback, actor; Tom Mix, actor; John Singleton, filmmaker; Anthony Minghella, filmmaker.

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 5th, 2016

Born today, you are something of a powerhouse. Others are sure to hold you in high esteem at all times, no matter what phase of accomplishment you may be in at any given moment. You are sure to be widely admired by those who share your outlook and aspirations, but more important than that is the fact that you are admired by those quite different from yourself -- for your upstanding nature, your ability to commit yourself in an unwavering fashion and your sense of right and wrong. You are a strong-willed individual, always able to go the distance when asked to do so, regardless of what lies in your way. You face any and all obstacles with a kind of quiet confidence that borders on stoicism, but you are never devoid of feeling!

You may never be a star, but your work will surely be recognized by stars as essential to their own success -- for your work behind the scenes is always exceptional, noteworthy and necessary. Should you break out and enjoy fame and fortune, you will remain a conscientious individual and a dedicated, hard worker.

Also born on this date are: Diane Keaton, actress; Suzy Amis, actress; Pamela Sue Martin, actress; Jean Dixon, psychic; Marilyn Manson, singer; Juan Carlos, former king of Spain; Walter Mondale, politician; Zebulon Pike, explorer; Bradley Cooper, actor; January Jones, actress.

Your Birthday for January 04, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 4th, 2016

Born today, you have a unique way of looking at the world, a habit that is likely to lead you to the door of opportunity and achievement again and again throughout your life. This suggests that your personality and character are the greatest contributors to your eventual success. Indeed, that is very much the case, though you do have a great deal of natural talent -- and you can also credit good luck when examining the trajectory of your life. Personality, talent and luck -- these are yours, surely, but there is something else that sets you apart: a willingness to explore what has never been explored, to do what has never been done and to go where few others have ever gone. It is your quest for the new that drives you!

You know how to make the impossible possible. For this reason, others are likely to flock to you in times of trouble, hungry for solutions to their problems. You cannot do everything, however, and even you must sometimes admit that certain things are truly impossible and beyond your considerable grasp.

Also born on this date are: Louis Braille, inventor; Sterling Holloway, actor; Don Shula, football coach; Michael Stipe, singer; Dyan Cannon, actress; Patty Loveless, singer; Julia Ormond, actress; Dave Foley, actor and comedian; Augustus John, artist; Dot Jones, actress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be adversely affected by something that had no real impact on you only yesterday. A friend comes to the rescue.
