Your Birthday for June 23, 2016

Your Birthday | June 23rd, 2016

Born today, you always seem to be on top of the world -- and that is part of your charm, and also a secret to your success in nearly all things. The truth is that whether you are really on top or not, whether you are really enjoying a success or not, whether you are really where you want to be, living the life you want to live or not, you always act as though you are, as though everything is just as you would want it. This gives you tremendous confidence and just the right kind of swagger that impresses others and often opens doors for you. You have a knack for visualization; if you can visualize it, you can surely make it happen -- sooner or later.

You can be quite emotional. When your passions are aroused, you are sure to express yourself fully and openly -- regardless of any potential harm that may come to you or others as a result. When you are truly angered, you can be quite dangerous, in fact -- but real anger is something that overcomes you only rarely.

Also born on this date are: Randy Jackson, producer and television personality; Jason Mraz, singer-songwriter; Selma Blair, actress; June Carter Cash, singer; Wilma Rudolph, Olympic runner; Frances McDormand, actress; Bob Fosse, director and choreographer; Clarence Thomas, U.S. Supreme Court justice; Bryan Brown, actor.

FRIDAY, JUNE 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have the opportunity to travel very soon, so you'll surely want to square things away at home. It's best to start now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What seems like a good idea at first may turn into something else entirely. Fortunately, this occurs before you set anything in motion!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your memory may take you down a path you've been trying to avoid for some time. Perhaps this is the moment to admit a past mistake.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have the time to pick and choose, but it won't last all day. You're going to have to get down to business and decide!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to keep a promise made only yesterday, but everyone is likely to understand that odd circumstances stand in your way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You face a few obstacles, but they can be overcome merely through your native tenacity and the force of your vivid personality.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Things have been waxing and waning recently, but you may be able to enjoy a more steady, consistent energy for a while to come.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – Faulty information keeps you from progressing as fast as you would like; when you track down the source of the error, it will surprise you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your methods may be appreciated, but your motives aren't likely to be met with universal approval. You've got some persuading to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When it comes to explaining yourself, stick to the most basic, simple version of the truth. Don't stray from it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're not likely to get all the rest you really need, but the good news is that you will get much more done than expected.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Solitary efforts are likely to pay off more handsomely than anything you do with a partner -- even one who is familiar and trusted.

Your Birthday for June 22, 2016

Your Birthday | June 22nd, 2016

Born today, you understand that the world revolves according to a set of principles that are not always easy to understand, for they are built upon far more than mere numbers and statistics. You appreciate that emotion and instinct play an important part in all of life's activities and interactions -- and this is where you are particularly strong. You know how to read other people very accurately, sizing up their feelings in an instinctual way. You understand that while statistics may tell you one thing, human nature can indeed make things go very much the other way. For this reason, you live your life in a flexible manner, always ready for anything.

Though you are usually quite positive and upbeat, you do have a dark side. You have been known to sink into a deep abyss of depression or, even worse for you, confusion and doubt. Avoid making decisions when you are in the depths; you will rise again and once more be able do that which is positive and productive.

Also born on this date are: Meryl Streep, actress; Cyndi Lauper, singer; Kris Kristofferson, singer and actor; Carson Daly, television host; Freddie Prinze, actor and comedian; Lindsay Wagner, actress; Bruce Campbell, actor; Todd Rundgren, singer-songwriter; Dan Brown, author; Dianne Feinstein, politician; Peter Asher, producer; John Dillinger, outlaw; Amy Brenneman, actress; Billy Wilder, filmmaker; Ed Bradley, journalist.

THURSDAY, JUNE 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You don't have anyone leaning over your shoulder, so you are free to try something that might not otherwise be approved.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're likely to hear from someone with whom you've had a productive relationship in the past, but who has been out of the picture for a while.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't let your fantasies take control of you! Remember to keep things grounded and realistic -- especially when your efforts start to pay off.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be letting time slip by without making the best possible use of it. This is a trend that you can surely reverse, however.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to realize something that puts you in a whole new place, psychologically and emotionally. Progress can be made.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're going to want to put down a few things and spend time with someone who has been getting the short end of the stick recently.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're waiting for news that may determine the direction you will be headed in the next few weeks. Plans are taking shape.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may wake early with certain thoughts swirling in your head that are best put to good use immediately. Is it time?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Something rather mysterious is likely to happen. Focus on doing anything you are sure will have a positive impact.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Avoid guesswork at all costs. Even information that comes to you via a rival can be useful. Evening can bring quality time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have some regrets if you let the time pass without taking full advantage of it. This may mean rising quite early.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're going to want to know exactly what you will be doing -- and why -- the moment you set foot in a new direction.

Your Birthday for June 21, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 21st, 2016

Born today, you may often find yourself in a position that provides you with a great deal of opportunity -- but not necessarily a great deal of practical ability or the tools you need to succeed. These will come to you through hard work and dedication to a greater cause -- and the recognition that you are, deep down, very normal, despite any apparent signs to the contrary. If you approach your life and work in a realistic, down-to-earth fashion, you will surely achieve success again and again. If, however, you maintain that you are special and expect to get what is unavailable to others, you are likely to fall flat on many occasions. Confidence is one thing; a feeling of entitlement is something else -- something to be avoided.

You have a unique way of seeing the world around you, and you may not embrace the kinds of feelings that others commonly do -- especially when it comes to other people. On one hand, you are positive and accepting; on the other, you hold other people to high and exacting standards -- just as you do yourself.

Also born on this date are: Prince William of Great Britain; Juliette Lewis, actress; Meredith Baxter, actress; Jane Russell, actress; Michael Gross, actor; Jean-Paul Sartre, philosopher and author; Mariette Hartley, actress; Kathy Mattea, singer; Al Hirschfeld, illustrator; Tony Scott, filmmaker; Bernie Kopell, actor.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others are looking to you to decide the right thing to do. It's your call, and no one is going to challenge you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll have a chance to stay in the light, no matter how close the darkness gets to you and yours. A positive attitude does it all!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're going to have to take a few chances in order for things to work out to your liking. The first step is the hardest, of course.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be interrupted for a time in order to help a friend or loved one deal with an unexpected situation. Personal issues reign.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You recognize the danger you are in, and you can see a way to protect yourself in the future -- but today, things may get a little dicey.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may remember something that has you figuring things out all over again. You'll realize that you're on the right path.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be too busy to see what is going on around you for a while. When you are able to look up, you'll recognize a major benefit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll need the benefit of another's idea to make your own idea work. Don't hesitate to collaborate -- even with a former rival.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're not about to let anyone hold you back. You have a great deal on the line, and what you accomplish can bring major rewards.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A little deception can go a long way, but take care that you don't begin to believe your own game of make-believe!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Once you cross the line and begin telling lies to cover your tracks, you're likely to fall into a trap from which there is no escape.
