Your Birthday for June 06, 2017

Your Birthday | June 6th, 2017

Born today, you don't walk around as if you know how special you are, or talented, intelligent or wise, but you are indeed all of these things. Anyone who takes the time to get to know you even a little bit cannot help but recognize that you are one of the most gifted individuals they've met! You may be inclined to dismiss this as mere hyperbole, for you see yourself as nothing but a normal person trying to make your way as best you can in a world that is no kinder to you than it is to anyone else. Your down-to-earth, practical, everyday approach to life is perhaps your single greatest asset -- it is also what attracts the most admirers. Others are often astonished that you can be who you are and do what you do while remaining so genuinely humble.

Like many Gemini natives, you have roiling passions that you control carefully -- but these do inform almost everything you do in the professional arena. You cannot do anything without feeling strongly about it. In fact, you will turn down many opportunities because they do not rouse your emotions. To do a thing well, you must care about it!

Also born on this date are: Robert Englund, actor; Thomas Mann, author; Jason Isaacs, actor; Paul Giamatti, actor; Nathan Hale, soldier; Bjorn Borg, tennis player; Natalie Morales, news anchor; Max Casella, actor; Steve Vai, musician; Levi Stubbs, singer; Harvey Fierstein, actor and writer; Alexander Pushkin, author; Sandra Bernhard, comedian and actress.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Stick to the schedule and insist that others do the same. If you do not, you are likely to sacrifice almost-certain success.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An unseen danger must be avoided, but how? Talk to those who have been in similar situations before, and don't hide from the truth!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Others may be surprised by the way you are handling an unexpected situation. A loved one knows that you are in the zone right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have a great many things to set straight, and it's important for you to address key issues as they arise. You won't be held back!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone who has been watching you from the sidelines is interested in joining your team and playing a more active role. Are you ready for that?

Your Birthday for June 05, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 5th, 2017

Born today, you are not yourself an underdog, but you harbor a deep-seated affinity for underdogs everywhere. The more status you attain and the more power you hold, the harder you will work to ensure that those around you are able to fulfill their true potential, both professionally and personally. This is not entirely selfless on your part, however, for you thrive on the kind of recognition and acclaim that these philanthropic efforts win you. Still, it is good of you to do, and those who benefit from your altruism and generosity are unlikely to take it for granted. This is certainly a good thing, for you may well cut off anyone who undervalues your support, and you will not waste another moment trying to help him or her!

You tend to be rather emotional, and even volatile, when it comes to affairs of the heart, but you do your best to keep demonstrative behavior to a minimum. This can be confusing to anyone who tries to engage you on a romantic level. It takes you a long time to open up in this way -- but once you do, it will likely be for life.

Also born on this date are: Mark Wahlberg, actor; Kenny G, musician; Pancho Villa, Mexican military leader; Adam Smith, economist; Suze Orman, financial adviser; Chad Allen, actor; Colm Wilkinson, actor and singer; Pat Garrett, sheriff; Ron Livingston, actor; Bill Moyers, journalist; Laurie Anderson, singer-songwriter and musician; Brian McKnight, singer-songwriter; Jeff Garlin, actor and comedian; Ken Follett, author.

TUESDAY, JUNE 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Because you are so confident in your expectations, you may not be able to see what is right in front of you. Try to avoid this mistake!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others may be doing things a different way in response to your strategic shift. It may be time for face-to-face negotiations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have a hard time holding it together when the knocks come one right after another. A friend can give you the boost you need.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are usually aware of new developments before others, but today you may suffer from an uncharacteristic blindness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're looking for just the right person to help you with a project that is proving to be more difficult than expected. You know who it should be!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You cannot simply let the time slip by without taking advantage of the opportunity to do something good for yourself before the chance is gone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone is getting closer than expected, and you may feel more emotional discomfort than usual as a result. A solution is at hand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll grow concerned about a loved one who is slipping further and further away from a place of security and confidence. Act now!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are eager to see things return to normal in the wake of an event that had you and others running for cover.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There is a difference between being confident and being boastful. This will become crystal clear to you as you face a certain rival.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to sacrifice one thing in order to have something else. Such a compromise will allow you to move forward.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll learn an important lesson even after charging forward without heeding the warnings others give you. Few mistakes are permanent.

Your Birthday for June 04, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 4th, 2017

Born today, you are full of surprises! Even those who know you well must confess that they have to work to keep up with you. They are often caught off guard by the discovery of another as-yet-unseen aspect of your varied and complicated personality. Never content with doing the same thing twice, you are always eager to try a new challenge that puts your mind and body to the test. The surest way for someone to get you to do something is to suggest, even indirectly, that it will be impossible. This will get your attention and compel you to reach for the stars -- and grab one! When someone tells you no, you will respond with a resounding yes -- and back it up with remarkable effort and monumental achievement.

You are likely to amass a great deal of knowledge in your lifetime, but it may be difficult for you to identify any area of specialization that really piques your interest. You simply feel compelled to learn, and the subject matter is of little consequence. You are curious about the world and the people who live in it.

Also born on this date are: Evan Lysacek, Olympic figure skater; Angelina Jolie, actress; Russell Brand, actor; Noah Wyle, actor; Bruce Dern, actor; El DeBarge, singer; Dennis Weaver, actor; Parker Stevenson, actor; Ruth Westheimer, sex expert and talk show host; Michelle Phillips, singer; Robin Lord Taylor, actor; Joyce Meyer, televangelist; Rosalind Russell, actress; Sam Harris, singer and actor; Scott Wolf, actor.

MONDAY, JUNE 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care that you don't turn a minor error into a major one by trying to cover it up in some way. This is no time for any kind of deception.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Storm clouds may be gathering on the horizon, but you are confident that you can face anything that happens in the near future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Try to remember what others have done for you in the past, and you'll be in a better state of mind to offer what they need from you now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You know how to say what has to be said without being too disruptive. See if you can actually put a positive spin on things.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This is a perfect time to take responsibility for what you've done and to demand that others do the same. Don't try to put off the inevitable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to be a hero; you simply have to do what you said you would do and call it a day. This isn't an extraordinary situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's time for you to consider one or two unusual options, as you face a situation that is certainly not to your liking.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can provide a great deal of support to someone who is trying to navigate rough emotional waters, but you needn't take any direct action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's time to consider someone else's needs over your own. He or she is far less able to address a current situation than you are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not understand all the implications of a recent development, but you know instinctively that it can be a game-changer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You don't have to go very far to enjoy something new. Indeed, a friend may bring what you most want to your very own doorstep.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to come up with more cash than expected to pay a longstanding debt -- but today is the day to do it!
