Born today, you find yourself in over your head far more often than you would like. Fortunately, you surround yourself with people who know how to set you back on the path to progress and success. You aspire to be much that you are not -- and that can work against you, for it often manifests itself in a kind of admiration and idolatry that pulls you away from your true self. You must learn to be who you are, for only then will you discover your destiny, and the ways in which you can fulfill it. Until then, however, it is best that you stick with those who have your best interest at heart, because you will need them again and again to come to your aid and show you the way.
It must be said that you are, in many situations, quite willing to put yourself in danger in order to prove yourself -- even when others advise against it. Like many Virgo natives, you are younger than your years, especially when it comes to your emotions, which bubble just beneath the surface.
Also born on this date are: Rupert Grint, actor; Dave Chappelle, comedian; Stephen Fry, actor and comedian; Cal Ripken Jr., baseball player; Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, singer and songwriter; Steve Guttenberg, actor; Marlee Matlin, actress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you see in your mind's eye can be made real before the day is out, so powerful is your imagination and so effective your talent.
