Your Birthday for June 20, 2018

Your Birthday | June 20th, 2018

Born today, you may not be widely recognized as a hypocrite, but there are those who suspect that you may say one thing while you busy yourself doing something quite different. Why is that? The truth is that you are never satisfied with any one thing, no matter what it may be -- a job, a relationship or even a place to call "home." You crave variety in all things, and you give yourself entirely to whatever it is that wins your attention. All of this would no doubt be quite intolerable, but for the fact that you are always able to laugh at yourself and your inconsistencies first and loudest.

There are times in which you prefer to be entirely alone, free from the responsibilities that come with interacting with others. At such times you can be quite studious, even meditative, and you will not tolerate being disturbed.

Also born on this date are: Nicole Kidman, actress; Lionel Richie, singer; John Goodman, actor; Brian Wilson, singer and songwriter; Grace Potter, singer; Audie Murphy, Medal of Honor recipient; Anne Murray, singer; Danny Aiello, actor; Errol Flynn, actor; Martin Landau, actor; Robert Rodriguez, filmmaker; Josh Lucas, actor; John Mahoney, actor; Olympia Dukakis, actress; Stephen Frears, filmmaker.

Your Birthday for June 19, 2018

Your Birthday | June 19th, 2018

Born today, you tend to be overindulgent when it comes to anything that attracts your eye or your ear, or whets your appetite. You will rarely if ever say "enough." While this can prove dangerous at times, you're not about to change your ways. You live life to the fullest, and you are quite proud of the fact that nothing seems to frighten you. You think of yourself as invulnerable -- and in many situations and circumstances, you are. You enjoy having plenty to eat and drink, you enjoy falling in and out of love, and you cannot get enough of the good things in life.

One secret you try to keep from the world at large is the fact that you can be quite squeamish at times; it's just as much as a surprise to you as to anyone else what suddenly has you turning pale and averting your eyes. Such things sneak up on you without warning, simply because it is something you never consider before it happens.

Also born on this date are: Paula Abdul, singer; Phylicia Rashad, actress; Moe Howard, member of the Three Stooges; Lou Gehrig, baseball player; Mia Sara, actress; Hugh Dancy, actor; Kathleen Turner, actress; Ann Wilson, singer; Gena Rowlands, actress; Poppy Montgomery, actress; Paul Dano, actor; Salman Rushdie, author; Pier Angeli, actress; Louis Jourdan, actor; Mildred Natwick, actress.

Your Birthday for June 18, 2018

Your Birthday | June 18th, 2018

Born today, you are often thought to be one who will do anything to have his or her way. This is true, of course -- but there is an entirely different side to your nature as well: you are also extremely courteous and thoughtful, highly sensitive and usually unwilling to share with others those parts of yourself that might, if they were known, make you vulnerable to any sort of misunderstanding or attack. You are fiercely loyal, and one who earns your trust and affection can depend upon maintaining them for a lifetime; he or she who is lucky enough to consider you a friend is sure to benefit from your support always.

That you have secrets is no secret whatsoever -- but, ironically, though you have no problem letting others know that there is much about yourself that you choose not to share, the mere fact that you will not share it is something you make no bones about at all. That this attracts attention and scrutiny doesn't matter to you; it's simply as honest as you can get!

Also born on this date are: Blake Shelton, singer; Paul McCartney, singer, songwriter and former Beatle; Isabella Rossellini, actress; Jeanette MacDonald, actress; Roger Ebert, film critic; Carol Kane, actress and comedian; Kurt Browning, figure skater; Richard Boone, actor; Sammy Cahn, songwriter.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can shine a light on an issue that others must be made aware of today. Your relationships with family members may be under strain.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are looking for things to criticize today, but such fault-finding serves no real purpose and gives a false impression that you're working.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You mustn't shy away from that which you know will do you good today. An offer of help can be taken seriously, regardless of the situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to start the day more quickly than usual in order to free yourself up for something extraordinary happening later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your routine is affected by the decisions of others today, but you mustn't be tempted to exact any kind of revenge. It'll all work out!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be sure to give yourself what you need today -- in mind, body and spirit. Habitual behavior may not do what you want it to do; make a change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are in danger of overreaching today; stick with what you know -- and with what you can get done in the time allotted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What appears to be nothing more than an illusion is likely to be proven real before the day is out -- and you'll have much to do with that.
