Your Birthday for July 07, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 7th, 2016

Born today, you are in it for the long haul, and no one is likely to keep you from pursuing your dreams and enjoying a long and lucrative career doing exactly what you most love doing. Despite the fact that you may have stumbled into the opportunity that allowed you to pave the way for the rest of your life, you will navigate that course in a manner that is stylish, confident, capable and even quite humble. Despite your abilities, you're not one to believe what others say about you, whether good or bad. You prefer to think of yourself as rather ordinary and down-to-earth -- though anyone who knows you well knows that this is quite an understatement!

You have a keen wit and a rich imagination. The combination of the two is sure to make you unusually communicative, able to conjure all sorts of visions that others will be eager to transform into reality -- either with you, or for you. Your vast knowledge comes more from experience than from books.

Also born on this date are: Ringo Starr, musician; Michelle Kwan, figure skater; Kirsten Vangsness, actress; Satchel Paige, baseball player; Jorja Fox, actress; Doc Severinsen, musician; David McCullough, author; George Cukor, director; Billy Campbell, actor; Robert Heinlein, author.

FRIDAY, JULY 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will want to be part of something started by someone you know only in passing. Resist the temptation to engage in fortunetelling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can change things for the better in little time, but you have certain responsibilities that may postpone such efforts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Something you've believed for quite some time may be revealed as untrue -- or perhaps only half-true. You must adjust your thinking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- In an attempt to clear yourself of an unjust charge, you may have to do something that goes against reason and instinct.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A clash of wisdom is likely to take place, with you and another at the center. What exactly do you know that others don't?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have good reason to say no where you had originally said yes. It's time for you to do more than just observe what happens around you.

Your Birthday for July 06, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 6th, 2016

Born today, you are just the kind of person who can prove to be a hero to others -- quite possibly a great many others, in fact! You are a solid, upstanding, honest, hardworking individual who prefers to be direct and even blunt rather than deceptive in any way. As far as you are concerned, "what you see is what you get" -- or so it should be! You have few fears, and you do not let even them stand in your way; you will charge forward with confidence even when a situation has you facing your fears directly. You believe wholeheartedly in the adage "nothing ventured, nothing gained," and you prove the wisdom of the saying again and again in your daily life. You are often successful in situations that others think are beyond you.

Your charisma and personal magnetism will surely prove valuable in both your personal life and professional affairs, but it is in private that you are more likely to affect others with the sheer force of your personality. Indeed, when it comes to love, there's no telling who may fall under your spell!

Also born on this date are: Sylvester Stallone, actor; George W. Bush, U.S. president; John Paul Jones, military leader; Frida Kahlo, artist; Burt Ward, actor; Nancy Reagan, U.S. first lady; Geoffrey Rush, actor; Bill Haley, singer; Janet Leigh, actress; Ned Beatty, actor; Merv Griffin, producer and talk-show host; Fred Dryer, actor; Shelley Hack, actress; William Schallert, actor; Eva Green, actress; 50 Cent, rapper; Kevin Hart, actor and comedian.

THURSDAY, JULY 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Environmental influences may have you straying off course for a time, but you can get back on track before any serious problem develops.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself moving slowly toward a point of danger for no reason other than that you feel compelled to. Control yourself!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Now is not the time to try to do something in a wholly different way; everyone else is eager to experience it in the way they're used to.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The fact that you so thoroughly understand what you are facing doesn't negate the fear that you feel. You can still progress, however.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Others may be waiting for you to arrive at a conclusion that they already acknowledge. What is taking you so long?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can do your work your way and still win the approval of someone who has traditionally been critical of you and your style.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may feel compelled to request help from someone who, in the past, has been difficult to work with -- but things are different now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You've got a problem to solve, and only so much time in which to solve it. Someone you've worked with before may hold the key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself on the front lines of a battle being waged between two parties who are not considering your position at all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Give yourself credit for a job well done, even though you may not quite remember what you did! The full effects are only now being felt.

Your Birthday for July 05, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 5th, 2016

Born today, you will appear on the scene -- whenever and wherever that may be -- with a dramatic flair that is sure to win you the admiration of many, and perhaps inspire the envy of others. You will seem, upon any first meeting, to have a great deal going for you. You carry yourself with confidence and pride, and you exude a kind of comfort -- with yourself, others and the world around you -- that allows you to have your way in many situations. Indeed, you may have what you want simply by asking for it, especially while you are young and first making your way in the world. Later in life, you may find that things come at a higher price, but that is only because you will have entered a realm of greater competition! Have no fear -- when it comes to any one-on-one, you have what it takes to prevail.

You are likely to enjoy a long, lucrative career, though you may not always be in the limelight -- and this actually doesn't displease you. Despite your knack for attracting attention, there are stretches of time when you wish to be left alone.

Also born on this date are: Edie Falco, actress; Huey Lewis, singer; Katherine Helmond, actress; Georges Pompidou, former French president; P.T. Barnum, circus entrepreneur; Jean Cocteau, novelist; Jenji Kohan, television writer and producer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're likely to make an important personal discovery. What it means will become clear when you share it with a friend or loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be able to visualize things just the way you want them, but that doesn't make them so. You must work hard to realize that vision!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll see light at the end of a long personal tunnel, but you must tie up a few loose ends before heading in that direction.
