Your Birthday for July 22, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 22nd, 2015

Born today, you are likely to get a remarkably early start on a lucrative career, but ultimately that start may not lead where you expect it to, mainly because you may discover, quite by surprise, that what you have been pursuing is not at all what you really want from life! You must, therefore, be ever vigilant about the path you take; you must chart a course for yourself that is drawn from your own honest dreams and sincere desires, not on the dreams and desires that others have for you! You must always be suspicious of anything that comes to you too easily, for that is a sign that something is amiss, and that it may not bring you lasting contentment.

You can be somewhat eccentric, and you never fear the opinions of others when it comes to your personality or behavior. You are careful never to do anything that could possibly offend or hurt another, which of course minimizes the objections others may have to what you do and say. Or does it?

Also born on this date are: Selena Gomez, singer and actor; David Spade, actor; Danny Glover, actor; Bobby Sherman, singer; Alex Trebek, game show host; A.J. Cook, actress; Don Henley, singer-songwriter and musician; Willem Dafoe, actor; Louise Fletcher, actress; John Leguizamo, actor; Rhys Ifans, actor; Bob Dole, politician; Alexander Calder, sculptor; Oscar de la Renta, designer; Rose Kennedy, philanthropist; Terence Stamp, actor; Alan Menkin, composer; Orson Bean, actor; Albert Brooks, actor and filmmaker.

Your Birthday for July 21, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 21st, 2015

Born today, you are, quite simply, something of an enigma -- and always will be. Like many Cancer natives, you tend to be a loner, despite your ability to work and play well with others for extended periods of time. Your social abilities notwithstanding, you are always compelled to withdraw back into your shell eventually, leaving others to wonder what is really going on, and why you would choose to isolate yourself rather than live among friends and loved ones in a world that may well be considered your oyster. The truth is that success itself is not something that can pull you away from your center; you will be who you are, no matter what your accomplishments or how much you may be rewarded for them.

You harbor many hidden desires beneath the surface, guarding them jealously lest someone else discover them and exploit them in some way. This, of course, is the result of a certain level of insecurity; it may be that you are afraid to explore where those desires will lead you.

Also born on this date are: Robin Williams, actor and comedian; Don Knotts, actor; Josh Hartnett, actor; Ernest Hemingway, author; Cat Stevens, singer-songwriter; Marshall McLuhan, author; Jon Lovitz, actor and comedian; Isaac Stern, musician; Rory Culkin, actor; Ken Starr, attorney; Norman Jewison, director; Edward Herrmann, actor.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You mustn't consider anything a "sure thing." Wait until you have all the evidence before passing any sort of judgment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Mistrust may prove a key issue. Don't get entangled in an ideological brawl with those who are not really communicating.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Now is no time to doubt your intentions; trust yourself and stay the course. You'll receive a vote of confidence from an important figure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're likely to have questions about an idea that others are pushing; you may not feel it is really ready to go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll enjoy a surge in popularity, but you'll still find it necessary to court someone who has a seeming glut of resources.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you thought was a clear advantage may appear to be a disadvantage, at least during the first part of the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can shift things around a bit in ways that will benefit those around you as well as yourself. Something good is just beginning.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are critical of the way someone else is handling a key issue, but you may not have a better idea just yet. Keep thinking!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be tempted to rejoin a fight that you bowed out of some time ago. What's different now? Strength is derived from various sources.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to address a key issue head-on, which is something that no one besides you is willing to do right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have much to consider before you announce your intentions aloud. You may find it difficult to overcome a certain personal obstacle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You risk standing in your own way. Flexibility and maneuverability are key to your success at this time. Don't get stuck!

Your Birthday for July 20, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | July 20th, 2015

Born today, you are one of those rare and noteworthy individuals who seem to come from nowhere and stick around forever. You simply do what comes naturally, parlay that talent into a long and lucrative career, inspire others through your work and remain true to yourself and your ideals through thick and thin. You're not one to be buffeted by fate -- or the fickle nature of public notoriety. Indeed, you don't really care what others think of you overall -- unless those others are family and friends, of course. You are a highly talented individual, yet you don't let your talent go to your head. You follow it wherever it leads, focusing on accomplishment and contentment rather than tangible rewards.

You are keenly interested in what goes on beneath the surface. You are likely to uncover much in your search for truth, and to help others come to terms with the way of the world as you do so. Though you do not seem to be overtly philanthropic, the truth is that your work results in the betterment of others' lives again and again.

Also born on this date are: Julianne Hough, actress; Carlos Santana, musician; Kim Carnes, singer; Natalie Wood, actress; Omar Epps, actor; Gisele Bundchen, model; Sandra Oh, actress; Sir Edmund Hillary, mountaineer; Gregor Mendel, botanist; Diana Rigg, actress; Reed Diamond, actor; Donna Dixon, actress; Petrarch, poet; Judy Greer, actress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may engage in an innocent flirtation -- provided that both parties understand that it is, in fact, innocent!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may think a change of environment will increase productivity, but in fact, it may only serve to increase stress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be called upon to help someone in need, but he or she mustn't ever feel as though you are looking over his or her shoulder.
