Your Birthday for June 29, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 29th, 2016

Born today, you have been endowed with more than mere charm or charisma. It is that rare, indefinable "something" that will surely open doors for you and provide you with the kinds of opportunity and success to which you aspire. Even from a very early age, you likely thought of yourself as blessed in some way -- the kind of person who has a destiny and who, given the opportunity, can fulfill that destiny by doing exactly what you most love to do. Indeed, you're likely to turn a favorite endeavor into a line of work that can become a lucrative, long-term career. You can work alone or with others; in either case, you are sure to stand out and attract a great deal of attention.

You seem to know what is truly important at any given moment, and you are quick to recognize a distraction as just that; you are never one to get caught up in issues or arguments that are meant to derail you. You don't let yourself become embroiled in conflicts that you cannot win or resolve.

Also born on this date are: Nicole Scherzinger, singer; Gary Busey, actor; Slim Pickens, actor; Harmon Killebrew, baseball player; Nelson Eddy, singer; Richard Lewis, comedian and actor; Fred Grandy, actor; Ray Harryhausen, animator; William Mayo, physician; Lily Rabe, actress; Colin Jost, comedian.

THURSDAY, JUNE 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may receive a signal from a loved one far from home that everything is not quite as it should be. You may want to begin making plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may look upon the actions of another as irresponsible, but upon reflection you'll realize that there may have been no other choice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The information you give someone would have been better used by yourself -- but that ship has sailed. Perhaps it's time to join forces.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You needn't tend to the day's business all at once; instead, address issues as they arise, knowing that you must plan for at least one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll find yourself caring for someone who, for a time at least, isn't able to care for him- or herself. A unique bond is likely to form.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be able to stay in one place for very long; choose your mode of transportation with care, as safety is a major concern.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may encounter those who are not eager to see you succeed. What you do in response reveals much to your true supporters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Don't put the cart before the horse by starting a certain project before getting the go-ahead. You must follow the rules.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can have an enormous amount of fun, but expect to expend a great deal of energy in the process. Get rest when you can.

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.

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.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your perspective may not be shared by many, but those who do share it realize that it is the only way to see things right now!

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.

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!

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.
