If Your Birthday is June 27
(The Day of the Defensive Developer) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You're in a great position to turn your talent into income. Yet don't be fooled into thinking this is going to be easy, nor do you want it to be. You're entering unfamiliar territory, which is where you want to be for maximum creative potential. The compass that will help you hold to your course is doing what really matters to you, and whatever you may do, do it well.

Written in the Planets
You may be drawn to imaginative pursuits, long-range goals and optimistic, big-picture thinking today. There's nothing wrong with that, but remember to check your facts and pay extra mind to the details if you take anything beyond the daydream stage. Mercury in Cancer is making a square to Jupiter in Libra and a trine to Neptune in Pisces. Sometimes the cost of over-idealizing is a difficulty being honest with oneself, and therefore with others. Beware any urge to exaggerate, especially if you're feeling emotionally reactive. If you're having trouble sticking with the basic facts, channeling your energy into creative pursuits could be more productive.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Be careful not to exaggerate your feelings, and then translate that into something you want to pass as being reasonable. If you're feeling revved up and excited about life, put on your favorite music and dance around the house. If you have a concern, say it in as few words as possible.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Let the easy things be easy, and don't make the difficult ones any harder. If you're trying to crack a puzzle at work, don't knock your head against it, or argue with anyone. Slow down, and focus on describing the problem in a way that it can be solved. The solution will be obvious.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- At least here in the U.S. of A, the majority of us already have most of what we need. If you find yourself saying you really must have something, first check if you've got one stashed in the closet or in your desk drawer. This applies to emotional needs as well.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Make sure you stay clear with the people around you; don't let issues or resentments build up. If you're angry, annoyed or need a response, make that clear in as straightforward of a manner as possible. If you keep quiet, you're heading for an emotional explosion. Let the pressure off gently.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Perhaps the most important and most challenging mental discipline to master is that the mind runs on energy, and that anything that happens in your mind is an expression of energy. It can take any form, from the most beautiful to the most fearful. You make that choice with each passing thought.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- To be submissive means to receive. This is a point of considerable confusion. If you feel submissive but find yourself giving and giving, you might want to sort this through. Giving to others would put you in the dominant position, assuming you're offering yourself honestly and clearly.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Understate your talents and abilities. Rather than try to sell yourself or convince anyone of your capabilities, mention what you can do, when it's appropriate, in minimalist style. Then, over-perform. This will stand out in any environment where people are making promises they cannot keep.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You run the risk of believing what you want to be true. This might be out of convenience, or fear of what is actually so; however, it's time to get your fact-checking department up and running. Question your beliefs and your assumptions. Look carefully for the ones you have not noticed yet.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You have two main choices how you can perceive the current events of your life. One is on the level of emotional chaos, and the other is taking a more detached, though spiritually grounded approach. It would save you considerable time and energy to take the second approach.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You can avoid intimacy all you want; that doesn't mean you'll succeed. One way or another, current aspects describe your deepening commitment to a situation. That's not really true; what's deepening is your capacity for devotion, which will bring you closer to many people.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be flexible with your ideas. Many creative people wear down their prospects for success by being overly proud, or insisting that their way is the right way. This is not about letting anyone dilute your central idea; mostly, it's about how that idea is put to use. Keep an open mind.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Remember that creativity does not exist outside of you. You're it, and it is you. You don't make a 'thing'; you create yourself. That's another way of describing growth, passion and self-discovery. You are whatever you're making: the poem, the song, the essay, the painting, the photograph or the love.
