Your Birthday for June 28, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 28th, 2016

Born today, you are likely to base your entire life on a system of principles and ideals that is built up carefully, block by block, starting from the time when you were quite young and first aware of good, bad, right and wrong. You are rather quick to determine whether something suits you; once you have made up your mind, you aren't likely to be dissuaded, even in the face of contradictory evidence. You believe in the power of your strong will, and you sometimes make the mistake of thinking that stubbornness is tantamount to being right -- this, of course, is not the case! You will learn, through two or three crisis situations, that you can't merely stand your ground and hope for the best; you must actively work for the best and make correct decisions in order to prevail.

You have a fine sense of humor, and you don't really care whether others find the same things funny. Laughing at the world is a kind of tonic for you, and you don't require the involvement of others to feel the therapeutic effects of good humor.

Also born on this date are: King Henry VIII of England; John Elway, football player; Mel Brooks, filmmaker; Kathy Bates, actress; John Cusack, actor; Pat Morita, actor; Gilda Radner, actress and comedian; Richard Rodgers, composer; Mary Stuart Masterson, actress; Bruce Davison, actor; Felicia Day, writer and actress.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- No one can boast of quite the same strengths as you, nor does anyone else have the burden of your unique weaknesses.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're not likely to derive much from the usual sources; you're going to have to go in search of that which is truly beneficial.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find yourself communicating over very long distances, but not for the reasons you would have thought. Whimsy plays a role.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be surprised by the amount of information you can get your hands on, and it's actually useful to you in a very practical sense.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You must be willing to let someone else progress unimpeded, or you may find yourself being held back as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're able to secure something rare and valuable, but it's not what you might think it will be! This surprise can really pay off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to put yourself through something that is not altogether pleasant in order to enjoy something fully at the other end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your ability to allow things to happen around you without feeling compelled to influence them will serve you well throughout the day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to demonstrate what you can do. Others are eagerly awaiting the chance to enjoy the show!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may feel that you have something to prove. Indeed, when you get the opportunity to do so, you will dispel all doubts.

Your Birthday for June 27, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 27th, 2016

Born today, you are a charming, engaging, highly social individual, and you enjoy every opportunity to share your views and listen to those of others in virtually any situation. Your experience of life is far more enjoyable when you can share that experience with those around you; it matters not whether you are doing something with a friend or a stranger, but any activity is more interesting to you when shared. You are both instructive and quick to learn. You know how to exchange ideas in positive ways, as you are eager to know what others are thinking and feeling and to let others know what is going on with you. You believe in the free exchange of ideas as the basis of healthy interactions of all kinds.

You never behave in a desperate or knee-jerk fashion. You are always careful to think things through, to consider the pros and cons and to weigh the odds before making a decision. Most often, any decision you make can be reversed if circumstances change in any significant way.

Also born on this date are: Khloe Kardashian, television personality; Helen Keller, author; Tobey Maguire, actor; Bob "Captain Kangaroo" Keeshan, television personality; Vera Wang, designer; J.J. Abrams, writer and producer; Lorrie Morgan, singer; Julia Duffy, actress; Norma Kamali, designer; Isabelle Adjani, actress.

TUESDAY, JUNE 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're eager to share what you have learned with someone who can help you put that knowledge to good use almost immediately.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You don't want to put all your eggs into one flimsy basket; diversify, and be sure that you have an escape plan if you need it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your ability to see through someone's deception may serve you well on one hand, but it may be cause for disappointment on the other.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Progress depends on the receipt of a certain piece of information that has proved elusive in the past. Don't wait -- go and get it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Inspiration may be in short supply as the day begins, but later on you'll encounter something that fills the void to your satisfaction.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your attempt to reach out to someone may fall short at first, but a second or third try should do the trick. You may have to flatter a bit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You and a friend are both trying to help a third party in the same ways, but you seem to better understand what good can come of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in no position to make demands. Allow others to call the shots as they will, for you are quite able to adjust accordingly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your experiences may fill you with more than knowledge. Indeed, you're developing a certain instinct that can serve you well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be concerned that others will not understand or appreciate your motives. They will, however, appreciate your results!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Profitability is a major concern; you'll want to secure positive returns. A rival gives you an unexpected boost.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may wake to discover that you're not able to get started in the same way as usual. A small adjustment gets you off and running.

Your Birthday for June 26, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 26th, 2016

Born today, you will have been given a great deal of opportunity, encouragement and coaching in your youth -- but that only means that as you mature, you're going to have to work doubly hard to develop an original style and stake your claim to something that is entirely your own. You don't always make the best decisions in the heat of the moment; you require time to think things through completely, considering all possible sides of an issue, before deciding firmly on one thing or another. Knee-jerk reactions and impulsive acts on your part may seem exciting and profitable in the moment, but they're not going to bring you long-term success. You require a good deal of ripening before you can really claim to be the person you long to be.

Others are likely to listen to you, even when you don't really know what you're talking about, so you must always take care that you're not leading anyone down the primrose path, intentionally or unintentionally. As in all things, it's important that you gather knowledge and always behave in a genuine, grounded manner.

Also born on this date are: Ariana Grande, singer and actress; Derek Jeter, baseball player; Michael Vick, football player; Gretchen Wilson, singer; Eleanor Parker, actress; Babe Didrikson Zaharias, athlete; Chris Isaak, singer; Pearl S. Buck, author; Peter Lorre, actor; Chris O'Donnell, actor; Mick Jones, guitarist; Abner Doubleday, U.S. military leader; Sean Hayes, actor; Nick Offerman, actor; Jason Schwartzman, actor.

MONDAY, JUNE 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're accepting as fact several assumptions that have not yet been confirmed. That way danger lies!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll feel a certain gravitational pull from someone whose energy cannot be denied. You'll want to follow in his or her footsteps.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can learn much from someone else's struggle with an issue that is very similar to one you are currently addressing. Watch closely!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Are you ready to fulfill a duty that fell to you and you alone a while ago? You've been preparing, and the time is now!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can guide someone who is far from home by staying in touch in one of many ways. He or she will be interested in your unique perspective.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have trouble unearthing the truth, but it's there for you to appreciate if you have the right leverage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Not everything is going to be clear and obvious; you're going to have to dig deeper than usual and be ready to decipher a code.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone you know is involved in something rather mysterious, and you're tempted to join in when you have the opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Why are you hesitating? It's best to get moving as quickly as possible, so you can get a jump on the competition.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're in the mood to do some exploring, but the question will be where to begin. That will determine what is really possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You needn't be jealous of another's success; what he or she does is likely to open doors for you that will lead to your own triumphs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're ready to go here and there in search of something that is, as far as you can tell, the last piece of the puzzle. Start early.
