Your Birthday for June 23, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 23rd, 2018

Born today, you are not someone to forget where you have been, or where you are going. You always remember a kindness, and never forget any wrongdoing of which you have been a victim. You believe in the old-fashioned justice of "an eye for an eye," and you will often do all you can to exact similar revenge on someone who has wronged you in any way. This is not something to be proud of, but it has its uses; those who observe you taking your anger out on those who have caused it are more than likely to give you a wide berth!

You are quick to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, but you're not the kind to wait for them to come knocking. Rather, you will do all you can to make opportunities for yourself. You want what others have, and you are determined to prove that you are as good as, if not better than, those around you.

Also born on this date are: Randy Jackson, producer and TV host; Jason Mraz, singer and songwriter; Selma Blair, actress; June Carter Cash, singer and songwriter; Wilma Rudolph, Olympic gold medalist; Frances McDormand, actress; Bob Fosse, director and choreographer; Clarence Thomas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice; Bryan Brown, actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SUNDAY, JUNE 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Just as you get yourself unstuck a friend is likely to fall into the same trap. Your recent experience can serve you both very well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You don't want anyone to sneak up on you and disrupt your efforts at this time; keep a careful watch on everything around you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You should be able to prepare well today, even though you may have to hide much that you are doing from a close competitor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Inner strength is what it's all about today. Not everyone expects you to be able to deliver the goods, but you know what you have to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A matter of taste must not be allowed to come between you and a loved one. You both know much about the central issue; you must learn to compromise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What happens to you in the first moment of the day and the last will seem to conspire against you, when in fact they are working for you!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your perceptions may be steering you in the wrong direction today. Focus on the factual evidence, not on your opinions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It may be time to change your thinking about a key issue today. "Never" is a long time, and you don't want to be out of touch for that long!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What begins as a joke is likely to take an unexpectedly serious turn today; you won't be laughing when all is said and done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your productivity is on the rise, but not everything is happening intentionally. It's a good day to examine just how you get things done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You and a friend may disagree as to what steps should be taken next; you are both in similar positions, but your view is very different.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be able to say yes to someone's almost irresistible offer, and many will wonder why. You shouldn't have to explain yourself -- yet.

Your Birthday for June 22, 2018

Your Birthday | June 22nd, 2018

Born today, you are not the type to give up on a goal once you have set your sights on it, and you will do anything you have to do to succeed. You are brave, instinctive and rather noble; once you come to believe in a thing you're never likely to compromise. You are loyal to a fault, and you inspire loyalty in those who get to know you. There are some who may not fall under your particular spell, but those who do are sure to be friends and allies for life. You are often willing to do things that others won't because you like to be known as one who doesn't say "no" to any challenge.

Your charms are quite potent, and people have a habit of falling in love with you at the drop of a hat. You have the same habit: If someone is affectionate toward you, you will often be affectionate in return! In this one area, your self-professed loyalty can be rather unconventional.

Also born on this date are: Meryl Streep, actress; Cyndi Lauper, singer; Kris Kristofferson, singer and actor; Freddie Prinze, actor and comedian; Lindsay Wagner, actress; Bruce Campbell, actor; Todd Rundgren, singer and songwriter; Dan Brown, author; Dianne Feinstein, politician; John Dillinger, outlaw; Billy Wilder, filmmaker; Ed Bradley, journalist.

SATURDAY, JUNE 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your confidence is palpable, and it is likely to rub off on others. You may be called upon to lead the way for those new to the game.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you share with a loved one takes on greater importance because it is now in both of your lives. More such sharing lies ahead, to be sure.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can expect to receive more than you are actually owed today -- though there may be a catch. Take a close look at what's really going on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The signals you send today may get crossed in transit, resulting in some confusion. You will have to appear in person to solve the problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you are unwilling to help someone else out of a jam today, then he or she is likely to be unwilling to help you tomorrow. Work together!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may want to read up on a new development. You don't know enough to trust your instincts completely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can prepare for something that is fast approaching, putting yourself ahead of the competition. It may miss you altogether, of course.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Criticism is sure to rub you the wrong way today, no matter how much you may agree with it. You want to figure things out!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't let your ideas drift away without exploring them fully. One or two may actually prove profitable to you in the time to come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The details are likely to confuse you today, no matter how clear the big picture may seem to be. You've got to dig a little deeper!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Routine or no routine, you'll surely want to be comfortable wherever you find yourself -- and that may require no small expense.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone is more than willing to give you what you need to ease the way ahead, but you may be quite stubborn today and refuse it.

Your Birthday for June 21, 2018

Your Birthday | June 21st, 2018

Born today, you enjoy nothing so much as a big project -- unless it is being in charge of that same project. For you, there is nothing quite like calling the shots. Are you always going to get away with such behavior? Not at all! And that's why you must learn to hand over the reins now and then and let others run things while you go off and enjoy doing something else. You can be quite manipulative at times, and you can occasionally lose sight of the truth, preferring instead to believe what you tell yourself. You are never bashful when it comes to the big issues in life; you will share your opinions freely, and you will also do everything you can to persuade others that your opinion is fact.

Those who let you down aren't likely to do so again because you usually choose not to interact with such individuals. After being disappointed once, you will do all you can to avoid future disappointment! You are at times easily insulted; anyone who does you harm had better get ready for a long, drawn-out fight.

Also born on this date are: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge; Juliette Lewis, actress; Meredith Baxter, actress; Jane Russell, actress; Michael Gross, actor; Jean-Paul Sartre, philosopher and author; Mariette Hartley, actress; Kathy Mattea, singer; Al Hirschfeld, caricaturist; Tony Scott, filmmaker; Bernie Kopell, actor.

FRIDAY, JUNE 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You and a new friend have much in common, but it's the things that are different between you that prove to be most fascinating right now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not have a complete grasp of the timeframe that you are facing right now. You're going to have to work much faster than usual!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have been going through a difficult period, perhaps, but today those who have been standing in your way are likely to clear out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You want serious quality time with someone who should be closer to you than he or she is, but job issues keep getting in the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't try to tackle too much at once today. If you've lost perspective, it will be difficult to do what is right until a friend fills you in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have lost something valuable, but it is not beyond retrieval. You may have to change your plans until this situation is rectified.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Certain things are almost sure to take longer today than usual, but that's nothing to get upset about. Keep your emotions in check at this time!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have a stake in something that can yield very exciting returns -- but take care that you don't overstep your boundaries right now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Others may be taking things for granted at this time, but not you! Indeed, you know just what to say to those most precious to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're making assumptions that may cause problems between you and an old friend. Take a step back and prevent a permanent rift.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're waiting for some good news to come your way today, but in fact it's you who may have good news to share with others by day's end.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your energy is running high, but it's not because of something you can easily control. Your moods may prove inconsistent today.
