Your Birthday for June 30, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 30th, 2018

Born today, you are an understanding and conscientious individual who is always genuinely interested in the affairs of others. This is sure to motivate you to succeed as much as you possibly can, so that you can put your financial rewards to work for others. Until then, you must be single-minded in your approach to the career of your choice, because so much depends upon your ability to be recognized and rewarded for what you contribute -- so that you can, ultimately, contribute generously to others. It's likely that all through your life you will remember that one key individual who, in your mind, had more to do with your development than anyone else -- even more, perhaps, than your parents. You are likely to be widely admired, as much for who you are as for what you accomplish.

Though you are a hard worker, you are able to play hard as well. Indeed, when it's time to set your work aside and enjoy recreational activities, you can be counted on to jump into whatever activities are on the docket. You have little self-consciousness, and you never think twice about how you look to others.

Also born on this date are: Michael Phelps, Olympic swimmer; Mike Tyson, boxer; Lena Horne, singer; Phil Anselmo, singer; Susan Hayward, actress; Monica Potter, actress; Vincent D'Onofrio, actor.

SUNDAY, JULY 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can learn a thing or two about a friend and use the information to strengthen your relationship. Misinterpretation is not likely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be eligible for something that you thought would be a perfect match. You should be able to find something else that fits the bill.

Your Birthday for June 29, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 29th, 2018

Born today, you believe what you believe -- and that's that! You are not one to let yourself be persuaded against your will, even when all the evidence points to a truth different from the one you have long believed in. You never mind what others do, so long as what they do doesn't impinge on your efforts in any way. You also insist that others not mind what you do in return. You are often curious about any criticism that others may have of you -- but it's only curiosity and nothing more; you have a way of laughing at those who object to your behavior, rather than taking anything they may say to heart. You don't believe in regret or guilt; you find them a waste of time and energy. And, in truth, you're not likely to do anything to cause these negative emotions in the first place!

You are a keen student and enjoy learning as much as you can about the world in which you live -- and the people who live in it with you. You don't believe in "trivia" per se; anything that you might learn is worth learning -- and is therefore anything but "trivial"!

Also born on this date are: Nicole Scherzinger, singer; Gary Busey, actor; Slim Pickens, actor; Harmon Killebrew, baseball player; Nelson Eddy, singer; Richard Lewis, comedian; Fred Grandy, actor; Ray Harryhausen, movie special effects artist; William James Mayo, physician.

SATURDAY, JUNE 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's a good time to accept another's views. You are likely to discover that what you've believed in the past is not good for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The journey itself can be every bit as enjoyable as the destination. Don't be in such a hurry that you overlook certain hidden treasures.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to struggle to get certain pieces of a puzzle to settle in place. You know where they go, surely, but it's a tight fit!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you have to say today isn't likely to be heard unless you sit people down and compel them to listen. There are too many distractions!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What happens behind closed doors today can tell you much about your true desires -- and you mustn't break confidence with your significant other.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There is little you can do to keep a certain situation from becoming a full-blown crisis -- but what you can do will have some effect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be expecting a different result today, despite the fact that you are doing the very same things as yesterday. Shake it up a bit!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You haven't realized what has really been going on all around you, but today is the day for you to receive and use valuable information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A deal that took a long time to hammer out may fall through today because of one simple variable that both parties overlooked.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Nothing is certain today, including a key endeavor to which you have dedicated the majority of your available resources.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You could use a little more time today -- and perhaps a little more money. Both are available to you, but you must negotiate carefully.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may think you've struck a bargain with someone who has been resistant up until now -- but there is much you really don't know.

Your Birthday for June 28, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 28th, 2018

Born today, you care very little for the opinions of others, but you have plenty of opinions to rely on and to share with the world at large! You are somewhat inconsistent in your behavior; those who feel they can count on you to do this or that are sure to be disappointed eventually, for you are never one to follow any sort of rules, and nothing governs your behavior but the whimsy of your instincts. In this way, you have much in common with a child -- though it must also be said that you have a great deal more wisdom than any ordinary child. It is this awareness of the world and your willingness to live and let live that will give you advantages in life.

You have a knack for making people laugh -- including yourself. There is nothing so serious that it cannot be a source of humor to you -- and indeed there are times when you actually offend, simply because you see something funny in that which others find nothing to laugh at whatsoever. Your ability to smile when others are frowning sets you apart.

Also born on this date are: King Henry VIII of England; John Elway, football player; Mel Brooks, writer and director; Kathy Bates, actress; John Cusack, actor; Pat Morita, actor; Gilda Radner, actress and comedian; Richard Rodgers, composer; Mary Stuart Masterson, actress; Bruce Davison, actor.

FRIDAY, JUNE 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be unusually sensitive to another's opinion today; you must not permit yourself to answer every criticism that comes your way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A highly unusual situation prepares you today for one that is just around the corner -- and it promises to be even more unorthodox.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You recognize in someone else the very traits that you believe give you the advantage -- but that may only be a matter of perspective.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are more ready for a certain challenge than any of your competitors -- but is that really enough? Follow your instincts as you progress.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Not all disappointments can be avoided, but today you should be able to skirt one that would otherwise have lasting repercussions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn't take credit for something for which someone else is responsible, no matter how much you are illuminated in the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must ready yourself for something that is on its way, whether you see the signs or not. Even something "invisible" can have a major impact.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are on the verge of taking a major step forward -- but with it comes certain unavoidable risks. Can you take such a gamble right now?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will have to step up and do what another cannot -- or will not. In the end, others will recognize your contribution as invaluable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your emotions are not to be trifled with today -- even by yourself! Once you recognize just how you feel, you must act accordingly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Patience helps you avoid a conflict with someone who is poised to get in your way -- but perhaps that very conflict is what is required today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What you share with another takes on far greater importance than usual today simply because of the gesture of kindness you make with it.
