Your Birthday for July 04, 2019

Your Birthday | July 4th, 2019

Born today, you know just who you are, what role or roles you fill and what is expected of you and how to fulfill those expectations. The fact that you are so self-possessed and have been endowed with such self-awareness is a credit not only to the stars -- by whom all such things are bestowed -- but to all of those who had a part in your upbringing. You believe that all things happen for a reason, but you don't always have to know what that reason is. It is enough for you that you have a "destiny"; you don't have to understand it completely.

You are charming, witty, bright and fun-loving. You thrive on activities that require you to use as much of your native skills as you possibly can -- and, if possible, all at once. In you, the physical, intellectual, psychological and spiritual combine to enable you to excel at all manner of things -- including many that are unusual in the extreme.

Also born on this date are: Malia Obama, daughter of a U.S. president; Eva Marie Saint, actress; Calvin Coolidge, U.S. president; Gina Lollobrigida, actress; Gloria Stuart, actress; Abigail Van Buren and Ann Landers, columnists.

FRIDAY, JULY 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Never say "never" -- you know what happens when you do! Today, you may relive an experience that is far better in the retelling of it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What has worked for you in the past isn't likely to do it for you now -- but you'd better tell someone, or adjustments cannot be made.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care today that you do not bite off more than you can chew. If you overcommit in this way, you will be exposing yourself to certain danger.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may require more time than usual to get routine affairs in order. Something is approaching more quickly than expected; acknowledge it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What is beneficial to you today is not necessarily as helpful to one of your partners or family members. A compromise must be struck.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should be able to embrace someone's point of view today without sacrificing your own; there is certainly room for both!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You received a promise, but are still waiting for it to be realized. Saying something outright may be premature; you'll want to wait a bit longer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have the chance today to trade one thing for another and come out ahead. A friend or family member offers an unexpected warning.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may get the funny feeling that someone is looking over your shoulder today. Listen up, for he or she will have some good advice!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will not be able to get things done today without acknowledging the contributions of someone on the sidelines.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can learn a lot today from someone else's stories. What you hear may inspire you to make plans for heading off in a new direction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Plans are not likely to pan out as expected today -- and yet you won't be able to say you didn't receive a warning. Make the best of it!

Your Birthday for July 03, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 3rd, 2019

Born today, you are a rather playful individual, and from a very early age you will display a liking of all things recreational and adventurous. It's likely, too, that this will manifest itself professionally, as you are almost certain to choose a career that allows you, to some degree, to do things your own way -- and that way, more often than not, is the "fun" way! You're determined to enjoy yourself, whether at work or at play, and you can do much to ensure that others enjoy themselves as well.

You are extremely attractive to members of both sexes; to your own, you serve as an example and model in character, looks, style and behavior; to the opposite, you are the personification of desire -- and especially when young you will surely take rather romantic, even purely lustful advantage of this!

Also born on this date are: Tom Cruise, actor; Thomas Gibson, actor; Sandra Lee, celebrity chef; Kurtwood Smith, actor; Montel Williams, TV personality; Moises Alou, baseball player; Hunter Tylo, model and actress.

THURSDAY, JULY 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be fighting against those whose views are not really all that different from your own. Why are you being so contrary?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're not likely to arrive at your destination today, but that doesn't mean you'll be spinning your wheels. The journey itself is valuable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good day to claim what is yours -- and to let others do the same. You will in no way be threatened by someone else stepping forward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to strike just the right balance today when dealing with a friend who is out of sorts. You don't want to make things worse!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You feel that things are looking up, and your attitude is improving as well. You make a plan that may be implemented almost immediately.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you say today is going to be remembered -- not for what it means to people right now, but for what it means in the long haul. Write it down!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You want things to happen in a way that promotes harmony among all those interacting with each other -- and today that's not an impossibility.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to watch others from afar today without taking part. You are under the influence of something stronger than you are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can point someone else in the right direction today, surely, but where does that leave you? You don't have things lined up, do you?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Putting your best foot forward today may not be as easy as you had supposed, but not because of anything you have done. Find the cause.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The reasons for certain things are clear, but that doesn't mean you'll grasp them right away. You have a few important lessons to learn.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have the chance today to embrace someone else's philosophy -- and even if you do it for only a short time, the benefits can be far-reaching.

Your Birthday for July 02, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 2nd, 2019

Born today, you can be, at times, far too emotional for your own good, and you will often benefit from having someone by your side who can both calm you when you need to be calmed, and work to smooth things over for you when your emotional responses to things have caused you trouble. What is most interesting is that you are able to deal with issues others bring to the table far more than your own -- but this, in many ways, makes you a classic Cancer native! You are perfectly willing to step forward and take a stand when someone else is on the line, but you will too often simply retreat into your own shell when the dangers you encounter threaten you directly.

You are very quick to fall under the spell of someone who gives you the kind of attention you desire -- and indeed, you may actually call it "love," when in fact it is merely appreciation you are feeling.

Also born on this date are: Ashley Tisdale, actress; Lindsay Lohan, actress; Larry David, producer; Richard Petty, auto racer; Thurgood Marshall, Supreme Court Justice; Jerry Hall, model; Jose Canseco, baseball player.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A partner surprises you with a decision made in solitude that affects you in a way that you cannot overlook. This is something to talk about.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be seeing special privileges of some kind today, but they're not likely to be granted until you can prove your "loyalty" in some way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to repeat yourself today in order to get someone to pay attention to what you are doing. Soon you'll be able to move on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Anything you do that is secretive is sure to attract attention, even though most won't know what exactly it is you're really up to.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself engaged in a conflict that threatens a friendship. It's no time for stubbornness; acknowledge another's needs!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not breaking the rules, even though there are those who think that what you are doing isn't exactly kosher. What are you up to?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to answer to someone who only yesterday was doing your bidding. This reversal is the result of something you could have avoided.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You needn't fear any attempt to do the right thing -- no matter who is making it. You can come out of this in an advantageous position.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to prove your position to someone who is not inclined to believe you -- yet. Take your time; choose your words carefully.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not be feeling like yourself today, but there is still much to do that you cannot leave for someone else. You can push through!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll have the chance to get something out of your system today, but you must take care that you're not merely passing it to someone else.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- That which is going on behind your back will be worth some study -- but not today. It's best for you to leave it well enough alone for now.
