Your Birthday for July 30, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 30th, 2017

Born today, you are not always as organized as you could be, but this doesn't seem to be a liability in most of your affairs. Indeed, there are times when you may actually turn it into a strength and gain the advantage over others by behaving in an unorthodox, improvisational manner. In fact, you often like to make things up as you go along, and you will turn here and go there simply because your attention has been caught by something that may or may not have anything to do with your primary objective at the time. You always figure that you will get your ducks in a row eventually -- and, quite often, others help you do just that, often in the nick of time. You don't mind it when anyone calls you out for being random or erratic.

You have a healthy ego: It is important to you that others be impressed by what you do and, ultimately, who you are. Even so, in the end it is actually much more important for you to impress yourself than anyone else. There are times when you may feel that you are better than those around you, and this can become a serious problem if it happens too often.

Also born on this date are: Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor and politician; Henry Ford, engineer and entrepreneur; Jaime Pressly, actress; Lisa Kudrow, actress; Vivica A. Fox, actress; Christopher Nolan, director; Hilary Swank, actress; Laurence Fishburne, actor; Kate Bush, singer; Paul Anka, singer; Alton Brown, celebrity chef; Emily Bronte, author; Jean Reno, actor; Casey Stengel, baseball player; Delta Burke, actress.

Your Birthday for July 29, 2017

Your Birthday | July 29th, 2017

Born today, you are one of those rare individuals who seem able to do any number of things at one time, and do them all well. Furthermore, you never shy away from difficulties that demand you take on more than other people could chew. The truth is that you are far more capable of doing far more than others, day in and day out, whether or not you are being rewarded for your efforts. You love hard work, and the more of it that comes your way, the better. You're not likely to say no to yet another job just because you have other jobs to do at the same time. You give everything you do your utmost effort, and others are continually in awe of your dedication and stamina. Though you do not go out of your way to be noticed, you are noticed by many at all times, no matter what you are doing.

There are times when your classic Leo stubbornness subsides, and you become quite able to accept someone else's point of view, act as another suggests or otherwise bend to the will of those around you. This sets you apart and is likely to give you a unique advantage over others in certain rare situations.

Also born on this date are: Martina McBride, singer; Wil Wheaton, actor; Tim Gunn, television personality; Clara Bow, actress; Peter Jennings, news anchor; Elizabeth Dole, politician; Dean Haglund, actor; William Powell, actor; Paul Taylor, choreographer; Alexandra Paul, actress; Stephen Dorff, actor; Melvin Belli, lawyer; Ken Burns, filmmaker.

SUNDAY, JULY 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may feel inundated by much that you cannot handle on your own. If you do a little pruning, this bramble-bush will become manageable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll surprise those around you with behavior that seems very much out of character -- even though it's completely intentional.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's more to getting things done than simply completing tasks and checking them off your list. You must employ a little finesse.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Likes and dislikes may conflict somewhat as you become involved in a situation that brings out both the best and worst in you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll uncover an important connection between yourself and someone who has been on the outside looking in for quite some time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- How you manage a difficult situation is likely to attract the attention of someone who is hiring. Is this an opportunity you want to pursue?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's important to keep in touch with someone who gave you some good advice not too long ago. More of the same can help you a great deal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A situation will develop that requires you to dig deeper than usual into your personal history and uncover certain new facts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Something on offer has you thinking of new opportunities, but this may not be something you can pursue due to current responsibilities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may think that someone is criticizing when he or she is actually pointing out something about you that is quite admirable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll receive quite a few suggestions that seem to come from those who misunderstand your true intent. It's time to clarify.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are eager for some time to yourself, but that's not likely to be available until you have tied up a few very long loose ends.

Your Birthday for July 28, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 28th, 2017

Born today, you are likely to enjoy the best things in life, whether or not you were born into privilege. The truth is that you will always work hard to improve yourself and your lot in life, regardless of the challenges that lie in your way. Indeed, those challenges may sometimes be just the kinds of circumstances that others would love to call their own! You are driven to understand the people around you. You are not the kind merely to do what you are told or to perform as expected, and you will rebel quite openly if you find yourself in a position that is limiting or oppressive in any way. You have an insightful mind, but you do not always let on that you are thinking about this or that in a certain way. Sometimes, you believe, it is best to keep others guessing.

Whether you are experiencing good fortune or bad, you can always be counted on to behave in a manner that is truly "you." You're not one to pretend to be anyone else -- even with those who would clearly prefer it if you did. No reward is worth being untrue to yourself, and you make this clear in many ways each and every day.

Also born on this date are: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, U.S. first lady; Jim Davis, cartoonist; Elizabeth Berkley, actress; Sally Struthers, actress; Beatrix Potter, author; Joe E. Brown, actor; Rudy Vallee, singer; Vida Blue, baseball player; Soulja Boy, rapper; Lori Loughlin, actress; Alexis Arquette, actress; Stephen Lynch, comedian and musician.

SATURDAY, JULY 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will want to listen to reason when someone with more experience offers criticism and suggestions. Don't become defensive!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may enjoy the luxury of having too much time on your hands for a while. When things pick back up again, however, you must be ready.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're likely to hear something through the grapevine that sounds very true to you, though others aren't likely to believe it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Are you really ready to give a friend more control over certain aspects of your life? If so, what does this really say about you?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The morning's events may not seem to be in sync with your expectations, but later on, certain things will fall into place to your liking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will notice more details than usual. What you do with the information that awareness provides will make a significant difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must be willing to play nicely with those you do not always get along with -- for now. You'll want to be on your best behavior.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What makes sense to you now may not make the same kind of sense tomorrow -- and it's surely different from what worked yesterday!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Others may not be fans of your overall approach, but they're sure to like the results you get. Can you give them more of the same?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A conservative methodology is advised, as you cannot afford to run short of resources that are essential to your current endeavors.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A simple misinterpretation of words or deeds can lead to a major complication that you don't have time for.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can have a positive influence on many events and situations, even if you are not directly involved in what other people are doing.
