Born today, you are known for your keen ability to see to the heart of the matter in almost all situations -- and your particular viewpoint lends you an unusual, sometimes unique perspective from which you are able to "translate" what you observe into that which means something important and lasting to you. Indeed, you want nothing to do with that which does not in some way alter you, for you believe that change is evolution, and evolution is what life is all about!
You are more concerned with truth and reality than you are in your own reputation, for reputation can be won and lost very quickly while you may still remain unaffected in ways that really count.
Also born on this date are: Rembrandt van Rijn, painter; Linda Ronstadt, singer; Philly Joe Jones, jazz drummer; Forest Whitaker, actor; Jan-Michael Vincent, actor; Lana Parrilla, actress; Tristan Wilds, 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.
FRIDAY, JULY 16
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your desires are in sync with someone else's today, so why not join forces and see if you can't move forward together, step for step?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone you've known well for quite a while may drop some in your esteem after a disagreement that highlights your fundamental differences.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be surprised to learn that something you've been counting on isn't likely to be today -- but you can find a suitable substitute.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The simplest methods are often the best for getting routine affairs taken care of today -- but one family issue may prove unusually stubborn.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have a long way to go today, perhaps, so you'd better be on your way as soon as you can this morning. You can do much to ease the journey.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you've done in the past has won you a corps of fans -- but what you do today can bring you a renewed sense of self-satisfaction.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are able to do more than you had planned today -- but take care that your enthusiasm doesn't drive you beyond your natural limits.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It may not be as exciting as some other things to plug away at a tedious job until it's done, but that's your most rewarding course today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A little more self-care is in order today, and no one will begrudge you the time you take for such things. Be an example to others!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to steer clear of any toxic environments today as you recover from your own recent bout of strife and unpleasantness.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have no choice today but to repeat yourself and hope for the same kind of success -- but it's not likely to be an easy path.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've had your eyes on someone for quite a while, and today it's time for you to make an offer that could result in a gainful partnership.
