Your Birthday for June 12, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 12th, 2016

Born today, you are able to follow the straight and narrow no matter what happens. You never turn away from your beliefs and ideals, regardless of any challenges you may face. You are strong-willed, hard-working and always able to do what you think is right, however difficult it may be. Indeed, your ability to follow the path you have chosen, regardless of what you encounter along the way, will surely be your greatest asset in life; it will carry you a long way toward the goals you set for yourself. You may not be as ambitious as some others, but you are likely to get further than many, simply because you refuse to let circumstances control you in any significant way.

You are emotionally complex, and it is difficult to track your likes and dislikes with any accuracy. As soon as someone thinks he or she knows what you are about, you'll do something that defies comprehension. Even so, you're always certain to be true to yourself.

Also born on this date are: George H.W. Bush, U.S. president; Anne Frank, diarist; Jim Nabors, actor and singer; Chick Corea, musician; Vic Damone, singer; Marv Albert, sportscaster.

Your Birthday for June 11, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 11th, 2016

Born today, you are very good at getting yourself out of a tight spot -- and others, too, as the need arises. The catch is that this is a skill you will have learned by getting yourself into a great many tight spots while young! Indeed, though you may not be a troublemaker by definition, you're likely to wind up in hot water with all manner of authority figures simply because of the innate sense of independence and personal power with which you have been endowed. You like to follow your own rules, do things your own way, and turn a deaf ear to the kinds of shoulds and should-nots that keep others on the straight and narrow.

You have a knack for maneuvering, and your ability to strategize is perhaps second to none. Combined with your competitive spirit, this will make you a formidable adversary to anyone who tries to get the better of you. You seem to know the right move to make at any given time.

Also born on this date are: Shia LaBeouf, actor; Joe Montana, football player; Hugh Laurie, actor; Gene Wilder, actor; Mehmet Oz, physician and TV personality; Vince Lombardi, football coach; Chad Everett, actor; Adrienne Barbeau, actress; Jacques Cousteau, biologist and inventor.

SUNDAY, JUNE 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You won't be able to express yourself as openly and honestly as you would like, because someone in charge may retaliate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Putting yourself on the front lines may not be necessary, but it's the best way to know that the battle is being fought the right way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What begins as a game is likely to become something much more serious before the day closes. You must engage your peripheral awareness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are not likely to progress at the same pace as you did yesterday, but you can still make measurable gains.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A friend gives you reason to doubt yourself for a time -- until you realize that it's all a joke. You won't think it's funny, of course.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others may wonder where you get your inspiration when, in fact, you get it directly from those you interact with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're on the verge of doing something that you know your parents would frown upon. That makes it all the more attractive!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Where you go and what you do are not as interesting to others as how you carry yourself in unexpected situations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're tempted to do something that others have warned you against, but you're going to have to wait until you have a defensible reason.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are likely to find great comfort in a situation that leaves others with a sense of uncertainty or even foreboding.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Keep your eyes and ears open, and do what you can to collect information that you can put to good use -- especially while on the road.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're not likely to miss much about a situation you've finally bid farewell to -- except for a certain someone who knows you unusually well.

Your Birthday for June 10, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 10th, 2016

Born today, you often live in a world of your own imagining. Even when you are at school, at work, at play, or spending time with friends and family, you aren't likely to be fully engaged with what is going on around you, so rich and vibrant is the fantasy life that you prefer to indulge in privately. You choose not to share most of the things that you imagine, but some may actually be worth transforming, as if by magic, into reality. Your ability to spin straw into gold in this way is surely what separates you from the crowd.

You are quite sensitive, but out of self-preservation you prefer to hide this aspect of your personality from the world. Rational or not, you are afraid that your native sensitivity will make you a target for those who might exploit it.

Also born on this date are: Kate Upton, model; Judy Garland, actress and singer; Hattie McDaniel, actress; Elizabeth Hurley, actress; Tara Lipinski, Olympic figure skater; Maurice Sendak, author; Jeanne Tripplehorn, actress; Leelee Sobieski, actress; John Edwards, politician; Gina Gershon, actress; Dan Fouts, football player and commentator; Bill Burr, comedian.

SATURDAY, JUNE 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Avoid betraying any false feelings by speaking in a way that could be misinterpreted. Choose your words and tone with care.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your humor is sure to carry you through, but others may not always think you are being funny. What is it that rubs them the wrong way?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll have reason to be proud of a child or someone else under your care. He or she shows clear signs of having had good instruction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're in no need of the usual encouragement; your confidence is high, and you have a great deal of pluck.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have time to take care of some personal business, even as you immerse yourself in work. Your capable multitasking is on display.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself more interested in a routine endeavor than in any rare and unusual opportunities that come your way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you're after isn't likely to be yours until you recognize that your methods of pursuing it are not showing you off to the best advantage.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be impressed with the way someone else is able to get things done without attracting any undue attention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are considering a sacrifice, but know that what you believe it will do for another may never be completely realized.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It may be time to reach out to someone who recently offended you in some way. You've been harboring resentment long enough!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know what you know, and what another knows is of no greater value. Perhaps you can put your knowledge together and try to collaborate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You haven't been guarding another's safety for this long just to see him or her throw it away. Step in and prohibit dangerous behavior.
