Your Birthday for June 25, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 25th, 2017

Born today, you are able to recognize and satisfy your needs in a way that wins you a great deal of admiration from others -- especially those who fall short when it comes to helping themselves or taking advantage of their own opportunities as they arise. You are always on the lookout for that next big thing, one that may propel you forward at great speed toward a prize that satisfies you more than any other ever has. Winning that prize may be something of a pipe dream, but the truth is that it is most important to you because it motivates you, compels you to excel and drives you onward despite any difficulties you may encounter. Keeping your eyes on the prize keeps you going! You are tremendously sensitive, and you can use your churning emotions in your work in ways that are most unusual and noteworthy.

Despite your healthy ambitions, you understand that to realize your full potential takes time, and you're not one to rush anything that you feel will eventually pay off. You believe in the old saying that "the readiness is all" -- though that doesn't mean you'll never try something before you are absolutely prepared! From the attempt comes learning -- and ultimately readiness for future endeavors.

Also born on this date are: George Michael, singer; Carly Simon, singer; Jimmie Walker, actor; Ricky Gervais, comedian; June Lockhart, actress; George Orwell, author; Sonia Sotomayor, U.S. Supreme Court justice; Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef; Sidney Lumet, director.

Your Birthday for June 24, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 24th, 2017

Born today, you'll display a dizzying array of talents throughout your lifetime, shining the spotlight first on this one, then on that, proceeding through the canon of your abilities until you have truly fulfilled your potential. It's likely that your personal life will prove somewhat difficult, however, simply because not everyone is able to take your changeable moods, mercurial style and overall inconsistencies in behavior. Many people simply dismiss you as impossible to deal with! When you do find someone who is able to take your ever-changing moods in stride, together with your phenomenal talents and boundless energies, you had better hold on tight -- for this is a person you want by your side at all times, for richer or for poorer, until death do you part!

Freedom of expression is something you cherish, and you will work tirelessly to ensure that you and others are free to share any opinion, come what may. You know how to champion such a cause, and you will sacrifice much to further any idea that you think is just and right. You are not a fighter, but rather an excellent communicator.

Also born on this date are: Mick Fleetwood, musician; Jeff Beck, guitarist; Roy Disney, entrepreneur; Jack Dempsey, boxer; Peter Weller, actor; Sherry Stringfield, actress; Ambrose Bierce, writer; Nancy Allen, actress; Mercedes Lackey, author; Al Molinaro, actor; Michele Lee, actress and singer; Iain Glen, actor; Curt Smith, singer and musician; Minka Kelly, actress; Mindy Kaling, actress, screenwriter and producer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be too concerned with good and bad, when the only real criterion to consider is whether a given tool is effective.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're likely to make a critic into a fan -- and, very soon, a partner. It's essential that you do what comes naturally.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may face a certain level of hypocrisy, but you can silence it simply by saying what you know to be true -- and acting accordingly.

Your Birthday for June 23, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 23rd, 2017

Born today, you know how to take full advantage of the gifts with which you have been endowed by the stars. What's more, you know how to maximize other attributes that may develop as a result of experience and upbringing. This means that you will grow up to be a force to be reckoned with, personally and professionally, and a great many people will look up to you, admire you, imitate you, learn from you and yearn to be with you. You are perhaps one of the most noble individuals born under your sign, in that your sense of self is rather grand and always secure, and your compulsion to set a good example is undying. Moreover, your ability to save the day when called upon to do so is uncannily reliable. You are determined to take your place in the memories of those who outlive you.

You are not perfect, by any means, and you may actually prove to be the vehicle of your own downfall in the end -- but not because you do not try hard enough, work hard enough, play hard enough or love hard enough. You commit yourself fully to all these things -- perhaps too much at times -- and that may well be the thing that does you in.

Also born on this date are: Randy Jackson, producer and television personality; Jason Mraz, singer; Selma Blair, actress; June Carter Cash, singer; Wilma Rudolph, Olympic runner; Frances McDormand, actress; Bob Fosse, director and choreographer; Clarence Thomas, U.S. Supreme Court justice; Bryan Brown, actor; Richard Bach, author.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone else is likely to say or do something that kicks you into a higher gear. You will want to give credit where credit is due.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself filling time while you wait for a dramatic development you've been warned about. Is today really the day?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What you've promised may not be possible. By day's end, that should be abundantly clear to all concerned. All will be forgiven.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're likely to find yourself more involved in another's affairs than you had hoped, but you can make the best of a tricky situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Despite warnings from those who have been in your shoes before, you're likely to charge ahead and face the dangers that lie in your path.
