Your Birthday for June 24, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 24th, 2016

Born today, you enjoy the unexpected -- both when it comes to you, and when you can bring it to others. You believe that the unexpected is the result of wheels turning, gears meshing and stars aligning in a certain way to benefit you and those around you. You never consider anything unplanned to be a negative in your life; you embrace surprises of all kinds and turn them to your favor more often than not. You are strong-willed and hardworking, but you will also take full advantage of any bit of luck that comes your way. You understand and appreciate that no one can do anything entirely alone -- that success depends upon the confluence of skill, determination, opportunity and sheer dumb luck -- and you place greater stock in this last element than most.

You may be tempted at times to chuck it all and head off in an entirely new direction in order to discover even more about life and perhaps stake your claim to something new that is uniquely your own. What you don't know, however, is that it may not take such drastic action to do those things!

Also born on this date are: Mick Fleetwood, musician; Jeff Beck, musician; Roy Disney, entrepreneur; Jack Dempsey, boxer; Peter Weller, actor; Sherry Stringfield, actress; Ambrose Bierce, writer; Nancy Allen, actress; Al Molinaro, actor; Mindy Kaling, actress; Minka Kelly, actress; Mercedes Lackey, author.

SATURDAY, JUNE 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be recognized for your efforts, but you may not receive the tangible rewards you had anticipated. They're likely to come later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may engage in some friendly sparring with someone who considers him- or herself your equal. The idea will soon be dispelled.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You mustn't take more than you give. Work for equality and parity in all things. Anticipation yields an important discovery.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be able to avoid giving someone a piece of your mind. You can certainly do so in a supportive fashion, however.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to insist that others give you the respect that you've earned. Much depends on how others see you -- and treat you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your natural generosity serves you well -- and others, too. Anything you give will come back to you in ways you may not have imagined.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You should be able to alternate work with play. Each informs the other, enabling you to do and be your best all day long.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Those in charge are looking to you to raise the bar. Do they know something you don't? Perhaps you've hit your stride, after all!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be surprised at the amount of feeling that springs from you in response to what someone else has done in your name.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your method of working is far more immersive than what others may be used to. You must be patient as they strive to come up to your level.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're not expecting miracles, perhaps, but you are expecting new things to happen in ways that can eventually become the norm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be in danger of confusing what is with what merely seems. Appearances can, indeed, be deceiving.

Your Birthday for June 23, 2016

by Stella Wilder

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.
