Your Birthday for July 22, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 22nd, 2019

Born today, you are a rather uncomplicated, straightforward and forthright individual, and you rarely if ever feel the necessity to hide the truth about yourself, what you think or what you do from the outside world. You are an open book, and as such you can be quite easy to "read" -- and that means, of course, that you can be taken advantage of by those who are immoral, unscrupulous or simply ill-meaning.

You feel that you are something of an underdog, and you will never forget where you came from, and no matter how successful you might be or how high up the ladder of accomplishment you might climb, you're not one to forget what it took to get there. You are proud and carry yourself with a certain dignity -- though you always keep your feet solidly on the ground.

Also born on this date are: Selena Gomez, singer; David Spade, actor; Danny Glover, actor; Bobby Sherman, singer; Alex Trebek, game show host; A.J. Cook, actress; Don Henley, musician; Willem Dafoe, 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.

TUESDAY, JULY 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be approached by someone who claims to know better -- and no matter what he or she says, you'll want to take it all very seriously.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You needn't extend things today; keep your efforts short and efficient. Someone may try to stand in your way, but only temporarily.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be wondering what happened when all is said and done. Don't let your bewilderment undermine your efforts; think things through!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're going to have to part with someone today, whether or not you like it. You both have separate goals to reach and must move on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to put in a little extra effort today in order to undo what someone else has done incorrectly. Don't point fingers!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The technical assistance you were expecting may not materialize today. You'll have to trust your instincts and experience.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone who is calling the shots may seem to be overlooking you, but in fact, he or she knows just what you are capable of doing on your own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- When you are asked what you are doing -- or, more importantly, why you are doing it -- you'll want to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You must take the time to think through what you are facing before you are forced to make any decisions one way or the other.

Your Birthday for July 21, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 21st, 2019

Born today, you are both gregarious and highly introspective; you can be rather hyperactive on the one hand, and on the other you have been known to withdraw into your thoughts and dreams and remain quiet and even invisible to others for days on end. To say that you are "complex" is surely an understatement! You have what some might call "vaunting ambition," but you are always willing to work hard and do whatever is necessary to realize your dreams and do the things that others think are too difficult or even impossible to do. Set your sights on a goal, and you're sure to reach it sooner or later!

Like many Cancer natives you are likely to suffer through many gloomy, dark and rather pessimistic periods in your life -- only to come out of them, usually, in a way that is more positive and productive than ever before.

Also born on this date are: Robin Williams, actor and comedian; Don Knotts, actor; Josh Hartnett, actor; Ernest Hemingway, author; Cat Stevens, singer and songwriter; Jon Lovitz, actor and comedian; Edward Hermann, actor.

MONDAY, JULY 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Why do you feel compelled to lie about something others already know all about? Now is no time to try to deceive others -- or yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can commit to someone else's project, or you can do what you've been looking forward to doing for some time. Make a decision today!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are facing a possible setback, but you think you know how to avoid it. Getting someone else to approve an unusual idea will be difficult.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Are you being self-conscious at this time or merely self-aware? There is a big difference, and you'll know which is which very soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Honest talk about something that has been bubbling beneath the surface for some time does everyone good -- and gives you a certain advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be doing things in a routine way and getting away with it, but soon you'll be required to put in some extra effort in order to get by.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The plan you are putting into action hasn't been "vetted" by those in charge. Are you ready to assume the risk entirely on your own?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What the experts have to say may not thrill you, but they give you enough to work with that you can win an important personal victory today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Others will be grateful for what you've brought to the table, but you mustn't think you're finished! There's more to do, surely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is the time for you to bring all of your abilities to bear. The challenge before you is great and requires complete dedication.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've been working with something that is soon to prove a liability; is it better to get rid of it now or wait until it's truly obsolete?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Those around you will show their gratitude today, but that may not be enough for you. You want more in the way of tangible rewards, yes?

Your Birthday for July 20, 2019

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 20th, 2019

Born today, you are so open and approachable that you're not likely to have any trouble making friends at any time throughout your life, no matter what phases you may go through or how you may be navigating success or failure. You enjoy people, and you are never afraid of letting someone get close to you. There are those, however, who may suspect that all of this is merely a ruse, a way of living your life that you have cultivated intentionally to get what you want out of other people. Nothing could be further from the truth, for you do not have a deceitful or duplicitous bone in your body!

You can be quite sensitive to criticism, and so you are all the more willing to work hard to be the best that you can be at any endeavor you choose. Indeed, what people say about you can be a great motivator, and you are likely to remember even the slightest criticism or praise long after it has been offered to you.

Also born on this date are: Julianne Hough, dancer; Carlos Santana, musician; Kim Carnes, singer; Natalie Wood, actress; Omar Epps, actor; Gisele Bundchen, model; Sandra Oh, actress; Sir Edmund Hillary, mountaineer.

SUNDAY, JULY 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your power is on the rise, and your influence is being felt far and wide. Take care, however, that you don't start thinking you are invincible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The bigger they are, the harder they fall -- or so goes the adage. Today, you witness a demonstration that teaches an invaluable lesson.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may come across someone who isn't ready or willing to listen to reason. If it comes down to a contest of wills, you've got the edge.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Stepping a little outside of your comfort zone today can actually prepare you for a challenge that is fast coming your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You must be ready for some intense interaction early in the day. Once this period has passed, you can do things in a more routine manner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You and a rival may realize that there's more value in working together than against each other. Is this possible? Can it start now?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A new project beckons, but you may not feel prepared just yet. A little reading and a little experimentation give you the boost you need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be fighting against certain influences that have only recently begun being felt. You have a sense of where this is all leading.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Things are likely to continue along their current path for a while, but you'll have the chance to try something new before the day is out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be quite restless today, but there's little you can do now to feel more productive. Things are likely to change tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone in your care may not be following instructions, and you have only so much time in which to teach the importance of doing so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can approach certain tasks and responsibilities in a new way today, and not only increase your own enjoyment, but your productivity as well.
