Your Birthday for July 01, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 1st, 2017

Born today, you are a natural leader, able to inspire others with the sheer force of your bright and positive personality. But you also have a way with words, the ability to express yourself so eloquently and persuasively that anyone who might otherwise resist you is drawn to your way of thinking when you speak about yourself, the world in which you live and what you believe is possible. Indeed, this last is perhaps the most important aspect of your makeup: You believe that anything is possible; that if something can be dreamed of, it can be realized; and that if a thing can be expressed in words, it can be visualized and turned into a reality. Yes, you are a dreamer, but you are also a doer -- and doing the things that you dream of truly sets you apart from the crowd.

You may experience several disappointments in love, but that's not going to stop you! Indeed, when one relationship fails, you will always give the next a fair chance. Although you may not be in any hurry, you are always willing to follow where your heart leads you, confident that you will find your soul mate -- likely before he or she recognizes you.

Also born on this date are: Princess Diana of Wales; Pamela Anderson, actress; Dan Aykroyd, actor; Liv Tyler, actress; Deborah Harry, singer; Olivia de Havilland, actress; Carl Lewis, Olympic runner; Jamie Farr, actor; Karen Black, actress; Nelson Cruz, baseball player; Twyla Tharp, choreographer; Genevieve Bujold, actress; Alan Ruck, actor; Leslie Caron, actress; Charles Laughton, actor; Sydney Pollack, filmmaker; Missy Elliott, rapper.

SUNDAY, JULY 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are perfectly willing to take on yet another responsibility, but be sure you're not letting someone take advantage of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There are certain rules that must be followed, and you must keep them squarely in mind -- especially as you bend or break one or two others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must let others know what you have planned, or you will find that cooperation is nearly impossible. Lay it all out in an orderly fashion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to make some quick adjustments to both your mood and your overall positioning in order to maximize your potential.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are eager to go through the day with few errors, if any. This can surely be done, provided you employ foresight every step of the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to be constantly on the move to get things to happen. Indeed, staying in one place may actually be more beneficial.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're keenly interested in where your money is really going and what it is doing for you in the long run. It's time to seek expert advice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Those who move into your orbit are surely after something, but it's likely to be something that you are more than willing to give.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You cannot believe that things are going the way they are supposed to at this time, so why not make changes from the ground up?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone may cite you for being unusually daring, but you know that you're doing precisely what comes naturally -- and no more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have a plan and a schedule, but you don't really have a goal. Once that piece is in place, there will be no stopping you!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be asked to explain yourself as a result of misunderstandings that have accumulated. You can surely clear things up!

Your Birthday for June 30, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 30th, 2017

Born today, you are something of a mystery to others, for you don't seem to fit any single neat and tidy personality type. Rather, you display a great many traits that belong to seemingly contradictory types, yet you make this work well for yourself both personally and professionally -- though surely you will have had to learn how to do this over time. When young, you may have been irrepressibly impulsive, instinctive and emotional; when older, you will have learned how to combine the more mature traits of rationality and planning with those youthful characteristics, so that virtually nothing will be out of reach for you. When you set your sights on a goal, you are destined to achieve it -- provided that you remain disciplined in your pursuit of it and do not let yourself become erratic. Most of your impulses are quite positive; some, however, may prove self-destructive.

Though you would never have thought so in your youth, a long and happy marriage is perhaps the one thing in life that is most important to you -- even compared to some of your remarkable professional accomplishments. Being a good spouse and parent will likely bring you more pride and personal satisfaction than anything else.

Also born on this date are: Michael Phelps, Olympic swimmer; Mike Tyson, boxer; Lena Horne, singer; Leonard Whiting, actor; Susan Hayward, actress; Monica Potter, actress; Vincent D'Onofrio, actor; Lizzy Caplan, actress; Rupert Graves, actor; David Alan Grier, actor and comedian; Harry Blackstone Jr., magician; Anthony Mann, director.

SATURDAY, JULY 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You know more about a certain situation than anyone else. You, and you alone, can solve the problems that are cropping up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Avoid incurring a friend's wrath by keeping a low profile and giving him or her the freedom to do what he or she thinks is right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A new mess can surely be cleaned up -- but not right away, perhaps, as you have other things to tend to first. Prioritize.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll spawn a few ideas that others will be quick to co-opt if you are not careful to protect them as your own. Don't be stingy, however.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Trust your judgment when it comes to making a final decision about doing something or not doing it. You know the situation best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can move more quickly than you had planned, though caution is advised when you hit your stride, as hazards may be amplified.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A message that may mean very little to you when first received will become quite significant as the day progresses.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Focus on things that lie just outside your immediate experience, as they are likely to affect you in important ways very soon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are keen on an idea floated by someone who usually doesn't speak up. He or she can use your support -- now and in the days ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 20-Jan. 19) -- An idea or opportunity will come at the best possible time -- but if you do not react appropriately, it'll be as if it never came at all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your understanding of a key situation will make all the difference to those who do not realize what is happening. Make your voice heard!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A friend's error will put you in a difficult position, but don't linger on it once you have solved the problem. Accept his or her apology!

Your Birthday for June 29, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 29th, 2017

Born today, you are naturally curious and always eager to supplement your already-sharp instincts with knowledge born of both experience and education. You are never afraid of discovering that you do not know something, for as soon as you make the discovery, you begin to work on rectifying the situation -- and more often than not, you become something of an expert in the subject at hand. You are both idealistic and realistic; you are able to dream big dreams and then turn them into reality by applying the most practical tools and know-how. You recognize that castles built in air are not built to last -- and whatever you feel is worth doing is worth doing right. You demonstrate remarkable ability in a variety of areas, and you don't put up with restrictions of any kind.

When it comes to personal affairs, you believe that there is no time like the present -- which means that you will drop everything at any time to pursue the enrichment of a central relationship. You are highly expressive in love, and you can entertain the thought of a romantic tryst virtually anywhere -- and anytime.

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; Fred Grandy, actor; Ray Harryhausen, special effects artist; William Mayo, physician; Lily Rabe, actress; Melora Hardin, actress; Bret McKenzie, actor; Camila Mendes, actress; Matthew Mercer, voice actor.

FRIDAY, JUNE 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You know how to state your case with great effectiveness, but don't be so aggressive that you become off-putting in any way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are out to win, surely, but at what cost? You must take the time to weigh potential risks even as you assess potential gains.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to pick up the pace in order to make yourself available to someone who needs your particular brand of support and expertise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're not likely to get the answers you seek by asking the questions you currently have in mind. You must be more incisive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find that your needs are similar to those of someone you have only recently gotten to know well. Why not combine forces?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take care that you don't give up too much about yourself when you share essential pieces of information with another.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can get to the bottom of a particularly tricky situation simply by trusting your own interpretation of events. Your instincts are keen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You cannot wait for someone else to tell you what to do. You must swing into action as soon as you can -- or miss out on an opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are now far more emotionally invested in a certain endeavor than you have ever been, and you have a friend to thank for that.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to go through two or three more steps than usual in order to get something to work out precisely as expected.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What happens around you will have a lasting effect, but not immediately. You must give things time to mature before reacting fully.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may expect a rival to stand in your way. Even if that happens, it's not likely to hold you back the way you had anticipated.
