Your Birthday for June 20, 2014

Your Birthday | June 20th, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most classically "divided" individuals born under the sign of the twins -- and there is nothing identical about the two halves of your vibrant, electric, complicated personality. You seem to be one thing to one group of people and something entirely different to another, but, at the drop of a hat, all that may turn topsy-turvy and seem quite the opposite to each group in turn. There is no telling which "you" will be in the spotlight at any given time. While you may now and then have some control over this, most often you are at the mercy of your organic personality shifts.

You will learn as time goes by that it is almost impossible -- and surely pointless! -- for you to try to explain yourself to others, at least to their satisfaction. There will always be something about your makeup or behavior that defies explanation. In the end, this is perfectly all right with you!

Also born on this date are: Nicole Kidman, actress; Lionel Richie, singer-songwriter; John Goodman, actor; Brian Wilson, singer; Grace Potter, singer; Audie Murphy, actor; Anne Murray, singer; Danny Aiello, actor; Errol Flynn, actor; Martin Landau, actor; Robert Rodriguez, filmmaker; Josh Lucas, actor; John Mahoney, actor; Olympia Dukakis, actress; Stephen Frears, filmmaker.

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.

SATURDAY, JUNE 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are comfortable with the way things are developing -- both in your personal life, and your professional affairs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You know the answers to many of the questions you'll be asked today. Prepare your responses carefully; you don't want to be misunderstood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that you don't leave something out today. Go over everything and make sure you dot all the i's and cross all the t's.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're ready to take your place on a new stage. You know your part, and you know how important it can be to others as well as yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can combine work and recreation in a way that increases the value of both in your own life and in the lives of those around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Eagerness to get going mustn't be allowed to push you forward at a pace that you cannot maintain -- or that creates danger for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can arrange to pay for what you need in a way that doesn't overtax your budget. Maintain past spending habits that have served you well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can inject a little humor into a situation that is usually dry and humorless. This certainly won't make it any less serious, of course.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have the chance to address those who will respond well to what you have to say. Many will be working with you very soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You mustn't make the mistake of taking literally something someone says in jest. If you do, you will end up with your foot in your mouth.

Your Birthday for June 19, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 19th, 2014

Born today, you are not always the kind of person who will be there when you say you will be, but this is not because of any intended duplicity on your part. The truth is that your life is something fluid and changing, always turning this way and that, responding organically to the influences that people, events and static circumstances may have on it at any given time. The simple fact is that you may not be able to do precisely what you say you will do tomorrow because things may then be quite different from the way they are today! Those who know you well can surely get used to the inconsistency, but this in itself may keep others from getting to know you at all.

There are a few -- a very few -- to whom you will give your word and keep it, absolutely and without question. Indeed, that close-knit circle of loved ones -- all closer than just friends -- is one for whom you will always sacrifice your beloved independence and autonomy. You will be there for them, no matter what.

Also born on this date are: Macklemore, rapper; Ryan Hurst, actor; Paula Abdul, singer; Phylicia Rashad, actress; Moe Howard, actor and comedian; Lou Gehrig, baseball player; Mia Sara, actress; Hugh Dancy, actor; Kathleen Turner, actress; Ann Wilson, singer; Gena Rowlands, actress; Poppy Montgomery, actress; Paul Dano, actor; Salman Rushdie, author; Pier Angeli, actress; Louis Jourdan, actor; Mildred Natwick, actress.

FRIDAY, JUNE 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're in need of a little expert guidance, and you know just where to go to get it. Later, you can return the favor in your own way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your timing may not be quite as faultless as it has been in the recent past, but you can undo such errors by being honest with yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can capture a bit of past glory, but take care that you don't let nostalgia get the better of you. Think ahead!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your interest in what has gone before will serve you well. The past is not only informative, but inspiring to you as well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to be sure that everyone who has signed on is able to fulfill his or her commitment, as agreed. Oversee, but don't hover.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- How you feel about a certain family dynamic is beginning to change. Try to say things that help, not hinder, personal progress.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have the ability to set things straight between two friends who are on the outs. Very soon, things can be squarely back on track.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll hear a calling of sorts and will find yourself compelled to move in a new direction. Don't let prior commitments slide, however.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- How you report the news to those who need to know will make all the difference. Be positive, yet honest, at all times.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You receive a promise from someone who has remained in the background for too long. You can join forces in an exciting way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The comments and criticisms of a good friend have you reflecting on more than the task at hand. Many improvements can be made.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be feeling like yourself for much of the day, but there is little to be seriously concerned about just yet. Wait this out.

Your Birthday for June 18, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | June 18th, 2014

Born today, you are able to dedicate yourself to your work so completely that others are likely to remark on it again and again throughout your lifetime. The secret, of course, is very simple and even obvious to those who know you well: You derive a great deal of pleasure -- even fun in the truest sense -- from hard work and accomplishment. You believe wholeheartedly that the harder you work at something, the more fun you will have doing it -- and you prove this again and again, day after day, applying yourself fully to one grueling endeavor after another.

You love showing off, and you are quite unabashed about it. You seek out situations that allow you to bring all of your talents to bear and demonstrate them to as large an audience as possible. Indeed, you are attracted to endeavors of which there is a strong "look at me" component. You love the limelight.

Also born on this date are: Blake Shelton, country singer; Sir Paul McCartney, singer-songwriter and composer; Isabella Rossellini, actress; Jeanette MacDonald, actress; Roger Ebert, film critic; Carol Kane, actress and comedian; Kurt Browning, figure skater; Richard Boone, actor; Sammy Cahn, songwriter.

THURSDAY, JUNE 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The meanderings of your mind can actually lead you to a place that affords more than just pleasure -- there is also profit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone you've ignored in the past is likely to do something that you simply cannot overlook. He or she provides inspiration.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're likely to feel as though energy is being pumped directly into your mind and body, especially with regard to a certain project.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are poised to impress others all over again with a new accomplishment that, quite frankly, may have surprised even you!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is the time for you to patch up that old relationship that has been suffering under a misconception for far too long.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be feeling sad about an upcoming endeavor because many of those you had hoped to reunite with will not be joining you this time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Quality of work is not to be confused with quantity. As is so often the case, younger partners may think you're going too slowly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your memory serves you well throughout most of the day, but after dark, you may fall under a misconception born of faulty recollection.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The weight of a social burden is felt not only by you, but also by those who have signed on to help you in many ways.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can work quickly, and nimble thoughts will lead to flexible and highly workable ideas that can eventually bring you much profit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Neighbors and friends are likely to be impressed by what you are able to do, but that doesn't mean that they want to participate with you!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Those who are waiting for you to jump through certain hoops will have to wait a little longer; you're not ready to oblige just yet.
