Your Birthday for July 05, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 5th, 2017

Born today, you have an air of mystery surrounding you at all times, which makes you quite attractive to both sexes, for varying reasons. Some want to be with you, and others want to be you. If you weren't such a balanced individual, able to sort through complicated influences and navigate tricky emotional currents, this might prove rather dangerous. However, you are not the kind to let such things rule you in any way or dictate your fate; you remain in control of your heart and mind to such a degree that others have little influence over you, if any. Those who want to be you, or be with you, had better hope that you take them in of your own accord, because there's no other way it's going to work out for them!

Just as you can make your way through difficult emotional territory, you can address tricky intellectual puzzles as well, and this makes you an excellent leader who can inspire others and offer up real solutions to their problems. Politics is not out of the question for you -- but only if you can stomach the kind of duplicity that you would encounter in such a life, for it's not your way.

Also born on this date are: Edie Falco, actress; Andrew Zimmern, celebrity chef; Huey Lewis, singer; Michael Blake, author; Shirley Knight, actress; Warren Oates, actor; David Farragut, military leader; Katherine Helmond, actress; Georges Pompidou, former French president; P.T. Barnum, circus founder; Jenji Kohan, screenwriter and producer; Bill Watterson, cartoonist.

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.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Things seem to be piling on in much greater volume than you had anticipated. You can take some defensive steps, and the sooner, the better!

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.
