Your Birthday for July 02, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 2nd, 2017

Born today, you are nothing if not authentic, and your fight to remain so is sure to be lifelong. The influences that threaten to pull you away from yourself and turn you into a mere imitation of others are everywhere, but you are keenly aware of them and can anticipate their approach, so you are usually able to keep them at bay or simply chart a course for your life that avoids them altogether. People are drawn to you in all situations; you know how to attract an audience simply by walking into a room. When you speak, people listen, and when you stop speaking and act, people not only watch what you are doing but are inclined to join you in your efforts. Even if you start a project on your own, it's not likely that you will be working alone for long. You have a knack for attracting the best and brightest into your orbit.

You are genuine, caring and always interested in helping those around you be the best that they can be. This doesn't mean you put yourself second, of course -- far from it! You are bound and determined to fulfill your exceptional promise and do all you can to lead by example. You know how to take your knocks and come back stronger than ever before.

Also born on this date are: Ashley Tisdale, actress; Lindsay Lohan, actress; Larry David, producer; Richard Petty, auto racer; Thurgood Marshall, Supreme Court justice; Jerry Hall, model; Jose Canseco, baseball player; Ken Curtis, actor; Pierre Cardin, designer; Erin Burnett, news anchor; Ron Silver, actor; Hermann Hesse, writer; Saul Rubinek, actor; Margot Robbie, actress.

MONDAY, JULY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be wondering if others are taking a certain project as seriously as you have been, but soon there will be no doubt!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll want to keep things safe and sane throughout this busy day. Where did you put that certain valuable item? That's the big question!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been underestimating the importance of someone's contribution to a certain project, but you'll soon realize what he or she has done.

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

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!
