Your Birthday

Born today, you are one of the most hardworking individuals born under your sign. You are never one to leave something unfinished once you have started it, and you're sure to reach your goals because you refuse to give up until you've done so. Fortunately, however, you have a great many more attributes than this, and your talents are so varied that almost any door can be opened at any time - provided you are the one in control. You're not the kind to let others guide you about the professional game-board without insisting upon having a say in the outcome of the game you're playing.

Despite the demands of your career, you're likely to maintain just the kind of domestic life you've most desired since your youth. Your home can surely prove your castle, and you should be able to surround yourself with everything that makes you feel good about yourself.

Also born on this date are: Paula Abdul, dancer, singer, choreographer; Gena Rowlands, actress; Kathleen Turner, actress; Louis Jourdan, actor; Guy Lombardo, orchestra leader; Salman Rushdie, author.

TUESDAY, JUNE 20

Born today, you seem to be something of an expert at projecting just the right image at just the right times, and you rarely make the mistake of misjudging people or situations. You know how to get along with most other people, both professionally and socially, and even though you are willing to bend over backward in order to accommodate the wishes and desires of those you meet, you are also somehow able to pursue your own needs and aspirations without compromise. How you do it is anyone's guess - but you're sure to win the admiration of a great many individuals.

It is important to you that you play the game - any game - as well as it can possibly be played. You don't strive to be an expert at anything, but you do strive to be the best you can possibly be at any given endeavor. The rules you make for yourself are always most important.

Also born on this date are: Nicole Kidman, actress; Olympia Dukakis, actress; Lillian Hellman, author and playwright; Anne Murray, singer; John Goodman, actor; Errol Flynn, actor; Lionel Richie, singer and songwriter; Danny Aiello, actor; Audie Murphy, war hero and actor.
