Your Birthday for July 02, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 2nd, 2020

Born today, you are quite adept at seeing all sides of an issue, and the more important it is, the more likely you will be to know what to do about it. The truth is that you have quite a healthy estimation of your intellect, instincts and native talent, and you don't enjoy applying any of them to problems that you feel aren't worth your time or effort. If you're going to apply yourself, you want it to be on something that can really make a difference.

There may come a time in your life in which you feel earthbound and unable to let your ideas take flight -- but this isn't likely to be a long phase, if indeed it happens at all. Such a phase will, however, be quite significant, for how you react to it and what you do during it will determine in large part the path of the rest of your life.

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.

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.

FRIDAY, JULY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's a good time to reach out to someone who seems adrift. You can exert a controlling influence -- and enjoy some benefits yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- One idea gives way to another and another throughout the day. What you come up with in the end is something that is surely a win-win.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone contributes to a group effort in a way that complements your efforts. Together you can have a bright future, so join forces soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Not everyone will approve of your methods today, though your motives are likely above reproach. There's no reason to change course right now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your protean ability to "shape-shift" and reinvent yourself to suit changing circumstances will surely come in handy many times today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have thought a stressful phase had passed, but today you're likely to experience something difficult that seems like a rerun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be facing certain restrictions today, but that doesn't mean you can't say what's on your mind. Be creative; you'll find a way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone's plea strikes to the heart of a very difficult matter today, and you'll likely find yourself in a position to help. Do so!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are at the center of something that is getting more difficult by the day. It's time for you to exert all the influence you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can surely stand out today, and it won't take a lot of time or effort. You have to ask yourself, however, if that's what you really want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Any reversals you experience today can themselves be reversed rather quickly -- provided you don't let a sour attitude hold you back.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Generosity makes all the difference today, and you want to be sure that you are recognized for all that you give in times of crisis.

Your Birthday for July 01, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 1st, 2020

Born today, you are considered by some to be a master of disguise, and, indeed, there is something inside you that compels you to be on the outside, as often as possible, something quite different from what you genuinely feel you are on the inside. In other words, you are quite adept at putting on a false front -- but it's not just for fun, is it?

Just as you like to control how the world sees you and reacts to you, so you like to be in control of your romantic life -- but you do so in unusual ways. To begin with, when you are attracted to someone, you usually give off only a few signals at the outset, and then you like to play it cool. The purpose here, of course, is to make yourself available without risking being turned down.

Also born on this date are: Princess Diana; Pamela Anderson, actress; Dan Aykroyd, actor; Liv Tyler, actress; Deborah Harry, singer; Olivia de Havilland, actress; Carl Lewis, Olympian; Jamie Farr, actor; Karen Black, actress.

THURSDAY, JULY 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can turn in an impressive performance today merely by focusing on what must be done. You needn't try to show off in any way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone who is eager to be by your side offers a piece of advice to you today that, if taken, can bring about an important, lasting change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A certain mystery keeps getting more and more convoluted the more you work to solve it. This is a good time to set it aside -- temporarily.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The shape of things to come is unclear to you, but a little more thought and homework will allow you to see what's coming in sharp relief.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A journey you've planned may have to wait as you address an urgent issue at home. Don't think for a moment that you won't soon be on your way!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're eager to get to the heart of a difficult issue -- but today something comes between you and the source of clear, lasting vision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are the possessor of knowledge that someone is keen to have as well -- but are you willing to share it? Negotiations begin today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Certain tendencies, if given free rein, are likely to get you into some trouble today. You must be willing to do what is required.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be trying to develop a logical formula for something that defies logic. Before the day is out, you'll conceive of a new methodology.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Hard work yields valuable rewards today, though they may be of a sort that is hard to recognize at first. The work must be done!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are nearing a place of equilibrium at this time in which need and desire are almost one and the same. Much can be done right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You find yourself standing at the junction between comprehension and confusion today. Progress requires the intervention of a good friend.

Your Birthday for June 30, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 30th, 2020

Born today, you don't always know what you want, and when you do, you don't always know how to get it -- and that means that you're in for more of your share of frustration in life, as you allow yourself much of the time to be directed by the ever-changing winds of opportunity, expectation, desire and need. Which of these you choose to tend to at any given time is often up to you, however -- but you'll not have any of them in equal measure at any one time very often at all, so that makes the issue of choice somewhat moot, doesn't it?

You are far more capable of physical strength than emotional fortitude, as your relationship history will surely demonstrate. You have your heart broken far more often than you should have! The biggest mistake you can make is to think that this is always someone else's fault. You are, more often than not, the responsible party!

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

WEDNESDAY, JULY 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are aware of the differences that make you who you are, but you mustn't think yourself better because of them -- not today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can retake the lead from someone who has recently moved ahead of you -- but before you do, you must understand how you truly compare.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The end of one thing dovetails very nicely with the beginning of another. Someone critical of you acknowledges your accomplishment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The usual and the unusual combine in a most surreal way today -- and yet you are able to make sense of much that others find utterly mysterious.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A review of recent events tells you what you have to do today to make up for something you were not able to do for someone yesterday.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An explanation that works for someone isn't likely to be enough for you today, and you'll be compelled to explore deeply on your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The price you will pay for a broken promise may not be known to you, but your instincts tell you that you must keep your word today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You discover what pulls you in a certain direction, even at times against your will. From now on, you'll have a new secret of your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Doubt turns to certainty today -- but the process will surely take effort. What happens next requires that you take on a new role.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Assimilation is the key to success today; you cannot remain separate and aloof and do what must be done. An announcement will soon be made.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Things aren't adding up for you the way you had expected, but the day progresses according to someone's plan -- and you know who that is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have every reason to take part in the fun and games others have arranged. Don't separate yourself from those who matter to you.
