Your Birthday for June 13, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 13th, 2017

Born today, you cannot expect to follow a single narrow path, personally or professionally, throughout your entire life. You are simply too complex for that; your interests are far too varied, and the temptations of the world around you far too strong. You will always follow your instincts, for good or ill, wherever you are and whatever you are doing. This means that you will occasionally turn on a dime, reinvent yourself and suddenly be doing something altogether different without so much as a moment's notice! You are a true Gemini, in that you seem to embody more than one personality -- or, rather, your core essence can easily be split in two. Each of your true selves is likely to lead you in a very different direction, and others will have to work hard to keep up with you as you follow those divergent paths willy-nilly.

Some may consider you quite stern and aloof, while you strike others as affable and generous. It all depends on which "you" is on display at the time, and what the prevailing circumstances are. Consistency, that "hobgoblin of little minds," is not your problem -- or your concern!

Also born on this date are: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, actresses; Tim Allen, comedian and actor; Ally Sheedy, actress; Malcolm McDowell, actor; Richard Thomas, actor; Paul Lynde, actor; Stellan Skarsgard, actor; Basil Rathbone, actor; William Butler Yeats, poet; Whitley Strieber, author; Ethan Embry, actor; Chris Evans, actor; Kat Dennings, actress; Aaron Taylor-Johnson, actor; Christo, artist.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If what you have isn't what you want, then you must take some time to figure out what you actually do want -- and how to get it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The opportunities you uncover are sure to keep your enthusiasm at a fever pitch. Be sure to take the occasional break!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can turn what looks like a defeat into a resounding victory, but it's not going to happen all at once. Help is all around you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you cannot control is that which you most want to study. It will be in the spotlight very soon, and for quite a while.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are perhaps too concerned with the aspects of a job that are quantifiable. It's time to focus more on the aesthetic side for a while.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may worry that things are going wrong, but a look back at another time will give you some valuable perspective. You can keep moving.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's not enough to express yourself. You must do so to the right people at the right time in order to maximize the good it can do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What others did before you will not dissuade you from what you are determined to do yourself -- with or without any kind of assistance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're not in the mood to share with a great many people, so engage in some give-and-take with a few who share your particular interests.

Your Birthday for June 12, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 12th, 2017

Born today, you are a capable problem solver, and you eagerly accept challenges that require you to dig deep and study things carefully so you can have the information you need at your fingertips. You never shy away from difficulty, but you are also not one to seek it out intentionally! If things are going smoothly, you are perfectly content to let them continue that way as you enjoy the ride. When things do get difficult, however, you can often be found on the front lines, leading others through difficult territory toward solutions to all kinds of problems. You are able to devise different strategies and tactics and apply them appropriately and effectively in a variety of situations to get the best possible work done under circumstances that are not always the best.

You try to keep your emotions in check at all times, even when you are in the midst of a romantic scenario. This can be rather troubling to those who are involved with you, as they want to see you cast your intellect aside and express yourself more from the heart -- but that's not who you are. Though you do feel quite deeply, you always seem to keep that part of yourself to yourself.

Also born on this date are: George H.W. Bush, U.S. president; Anne Frank, diarist; Jim Nabors, actor and singer; Chick Corea, musician; Vic Damone, singer; Marv Albert, sportscaster; Dave Franco, actor; Scott Thompson, actor and comedian; Timothy Busfield, actor; Timothy Simons, actor; Tim DeKay, actor.

TUESDAY, JUNE 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Once you get moving, you'll realize that you can conserve energy quite simply all along the way. You'll need it during evening hours!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Only by looking at a certain situation from a different perspective can you hope to prevail. Many old rules no longer apply.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not receive all the information you need from outside sources. You must be willing to track it down yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are likely to learn that something you had assumed would affect only you actually affects your family as well. Adjust accordingly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are waiting for a sign to tell you what to do next, but it's not likely to come to you in the manner you expect. This decision is up to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's never too late to do the right thing, and you'll have ample opportunity to do what is best for yourself and those around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You needn't worry about having too much of a good thing. In fact, you'll have to fight tooth and nail just to come up with the bare minimum.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't want to have to explain yourself more than once, so make sure what you say and do is clear, demonstrative and on point.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are not eager to tell a loved one that you have made a significant error in judgment, but that's just what you may have to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you most want, and what you thought was near at hand, may recede from you once more -- but don't panic! This is a temporary setback.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone in your inner circle still doesn't understand quite how you operate. This will be clear when he or she bursts your bubble.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can prove to be an important conduit, passing information from the source to those who need it most. Avoid personal interpretations.

Your Birthday for June 11, 2017

Your Birthday | June 11th, 2017

Born today, you know how to work your magic without anyone really knowing what you are up to! This ability to move under the radar is likely your single greatest tool, both personally and professionally. You are able to find the advantage in almost any situation simply because you are so often able to move about undetected, investigating the possibilities entirely on your own, without the pressure of being observed or judged in any way. Then, one day, you simply burst forth, having done something remarkable, leaving those in your wake to be amazed by what you managed to do without attracting any attention at all. You are something of a trickster, and you enjoy a good game -- as long as you win!

You are never particularly consistent, and you may turn on a dime at any moment and choose to do something else, go somewhere else or even be someone else for a time. As long as you are getting the most out of life, you know that you are doing things the right way! For you, the destination is far less important than the journey.

Also born on this date are: Shia LaBeouf, actor; Joe Montana, football player; Hugh Laurie, actor; Gene Wilder, actor; Mehmet Oz, physician and television personality; Vince Lombardi, football coach; Bruce Kimball, Olympic diver; Christina Crawford, author and actress; Chad Everett, actor; Adrienne Barbeau, actress; Jacques Cousteau, inventor and underwater explorer; Peter Dinklage, actor.

MONDAY, JUNE 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may feel disconnected from someone who has been quite important to you in the recent past. Why not reach out? He or she is waiting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take care that you don't ignore a warning you receive from someone who has recently been in your shoes. All information can serve you well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must keep track of what you started; do not let anyone else tell you what is going on. Your first-hand assessment is required.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself on the road far more than expected. Where you end up depends on more than mere desire, so be flexible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have a few minutes to tend to an issue that no one has wanted to address -- until now. You can take charge and win the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your natural concern for those around you may be preventing you from pursuing your own contentment. What do you really want?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone may be challenging you in an unexpected way. Are you ready to prove that you are doing things the right way, and at the right time?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may feel ill-equipped to handle a coming challenge, but you will have time to boost your confidence and get in the zone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may think that things don't add up quite right, but the truth is that you are looking at them from the wrong point of view.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The information you gather will prove essential as you set a new plan in motion. Others think you are mistaken, but you're not!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Events will pan out in such a way that you are vindicated! From now on, you'll feel much more capable and confident about many things.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone will do something for you, and you'll do something for him or her -- and so it goes. Everyone is in it together, helping out in turns.
