Your Birthday for July 04, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 4th, 2017

Born today, you are ever hopeful, diligent and eager to move forward toward some shining indication of opportunity and potential. You have been endowed with tremendous spirit and talent, and you will put them to good use at all times, particularly when the going gets tough, the overall mood is bleak and things are not looking good. At times like that you shine -- and you will find that your positive outlook and ability to see past any temporary downturn will inspire others and give them the strength they need to carry on as well. You are a born planner -- you are always coming up with new ideas and new ways to implement them. You may find, however, that you're not always able to set those plans in motion on your own. Fortunately, you know how to attract others into your orbit and assemble a crack team!

You don't overcomplicate things, particularly your personal life. You like whom you like, and you dislike very few. You do not succumb to every attraction, but you engage your wits so that you can proceed with care at all times. You are never one to wear your heart on your sleeve, nor do you ignore what it is telling you at any given moment. You keep emotions in balance most of the time.

Also born on this date are: Malia Obama, presidential daughter; Eva Marie Saint, actress; Calvin Coolidge, U.S. president; Gina Lollobrigida, actress; Gloria Stuart, actress; Bill Withers, singer-songwriter; Abigail Van Buren and Ann Landers, advice columnists; Geraldo Rivera, television personality; Nathaniel Hawthorne, writer; Neil Simon, playwright; Pam Shriver, Olympic tennis player.

Your Birthday for July 03, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 3rd, 2017

Born today, you will spend the greater portion of your life riding a wave of opportunity that seems to others never to let up. Indeed, there is something to that perception, as you are able to parlay one success into another again and again, proving your professional mettle at every turn. Of course, much depends on your willingness to develop your talents to the fullest -- which, in turn, depends upon your ability to recognize those talents in the first place! Do that, and your success is virtually assured. In your personal life, however, things may prove much more difficult -- in large part because you are the kind to dedicate so much of yourself to your job that there is little room for anything else. Still, you can enjoy friends, family and loved ones if you make room for them!

You run the risk, now and then, of growing bored with your way of life -- even, perhaps, with who you are or, more accurately, who you have decided you will be. You must always be sure to give yourself ample time to crawl out of any emotional rut in which you find yourself, lest you succumb to it completely and invite personal ruin. Keep moving -- that's the true solution!

Also born on this date are: Tom Cruise, actor; Thomas Gibson, actor; Sandra Lee, celebrity chef; Kurtwood Smith, actor; Montel Williams, television host; Moises Alou, baseball player; Hunter Tylo, model and actress; George M. Cohan, songwriter; Betty Buckley, actress and singer; George Sanders, actor; Tom Stoppard, playwright; Ken Russell, director; Aaron Tippin, singer.

TUESDAY, JULY 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can keep worry to a minimum by reducing the likelihood that you will face unanticipated dangers. Some surprises are unavoidable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You mustn't try to shrink from your responsibilities. Indeed, you can win a good deal of praise by embracing them enthusiastically.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can work well with someone you've only just met, whereas a friend may not be in sync with your motives or methods at this time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The familiar gives you some comfort, but little excitement. Something new will offer plenty of excitement, but can you afford the risk?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're eager to know what people think of your work, but you're not all that keen on criticism. That is something you must get over quickly!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're operating according to a certain assumption that is likely to be proved inaccurate before the day is out. Changes must be made.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can strengthen your bond with a friend, but take care that you don't ignore the potential of a new relationship that's just beginning.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Brevity can work wonders for you. You needn't go on and on about something that others are likely to grasp immediately.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are concerned about someone who seems unable to help him- or herself. What do you have in mind? Share your ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be considering following a path that is fraught with danger, especially of the emotional kind. An old flame will re-enter the picture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must be detailed and precise; there is no place for guesswork or anything but the most concentrated, calculated effort.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A situation you are facing may not be ideal, but you can turn it to your advantage if you are willing to make a small sacrifice.

Your Birthday for July 02, 2017

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.

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.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be surprised to learn that someone has been there all along to make sure you are safe and sound. Thanks are surely in order.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can do more to affect others in a humorous way than anyone else. Your efforts will not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have to backtrack some in order to be sure that you have made no lasting errors -- and to be sure no stone has been left unturned.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You won't have as much time as you had hoped, but you can still get a great deal done -- provided you are able to make an early start.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The advice you'll receive early in the day is likely to conflict with what you hear later on. You must sort it out quickly!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not agree with the way someone else is going about his or her business, but at least it's getting done. You'd better get moving!
