Gregarious optimist
The fortunate influence of your birthday shows you to be extremely clever, sociable, and self-assured. You are naturally gifted, mentally receptive, generous, and optimistic. Since you have big dreams, you need only apply self-discipline to turn some of them into reality. A quick thinker, you can be witty and assertive and like to be direct and honest.
With the added influence of your decanate ruler, Aquarius, you are self-willed and independent, with original ideas that are often ahead of their time. You have a way with words and are likely to be a good writer. Although you have a touch of the mad genius, you may also have to be wary of being impatient, stubborn, or temperamental. One thing is certain, however—in your life you will always have a desire to be continually learning.
Since you have charisma and a sense of the dramatic, you need to express yourself and feel that life can be fun. You also have a more philosophical bent, which can give you the faculty to survey the whole or can draw you toward things of a more humanitarian nature. The more you develop your intuition, the easier your life decisions become. Although you will not usually accept interference from others, when you are positive about your goals and vision you have the potential to create miracles.
Up to the age of thirty-two you are likely to be occupied by issues regarding your emotional needs, security, and family, with a strong accent on your home life. A turning point around the age of thirty-three occurs when your progressed Sun moves into Leo, starting to stimulate a stronger need for self-expression and assertiveness. This may inspire you to become more confident, brave, and adventurous. From the age of sixty-three, when your progressed Sun moves into Virgo, you develop a more practical, analytical, and perfectionist approach to life.

Betelgeuze; Polaris, also known as Al Rukkabah or the Pole Star
Star’s name: Betelgeuze Degree position:27°46’-28°42’ Gemini between the years 1930 and 2000 Magnitude: 1 Strength: ********** Orb:2°30’ Constellation:Alpha Ononis Applicable days:June 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 Star qualities:Mars/Mercury Description:a variable orange-red star located on the right shoulder of Orion
Betelgeuze imparts an ability to judge, an optimistic outlook, a quick mind, and a competitive nature. This star also bestows luck and success through resolution and determination. You may receive honor for outstanding achievement and may also gain material wealth.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, this star shows a talent for philosophy and an aptitude for metaphysical studies. Belelgeuze imparts success in sport and legal affairs as well as generally carrying a good influence in all matters dealing with others. Although honor and wealth can be achieved, they are not necessarily long-lasting, for there is an ever-present danger of sudden loss.
• Positive:good judgment, problem solving, harmony of action and thought
• Negative:obstinate, argumentative, antagonist
A light and creative core to your being ensures that you will always be able to keep others entertained and find something that can bring happiness into other people’s lives. This sensitive and inspiring part of you can get lost if you start to doubt yourself and become indecisive, particularly in affairs of the heart or when dealing with material success.
Although you have the potential to achieve amazing results in concrete terms, especially through the use of your excellent mind, there is a danger that monetary gains will not necessarily bring happiness. To avoid this you need to work on projects that allow you to expand and learn. Luckily, you have a strong sense of purpose and high standards for yourself, which, combined with the ability to think big, ensure that you will not be disheartened by life’s challenges for long.
Intuitive and creative, you need a career where you can expand your knowledge. Your quick intellect, sharp wit, and talent with words indicate that you can excel in writing and literature, law, education, or the media. Alternatively, you can use your organizational skills in large corporations or government and succeed in the business or manufacturing world. If you are interested in reform, you may be drawn to areas where you can speak up for others, such as union leadership or politics. Similarly, your humanitarian instincts may lead you to counseling or social work. Though you probably prefer something creative, you can be practical and you may express your intuitive mind through science or light engineering. Your need for artistic expression could be most satisfied through music and drama.
Famous people who share your birthday include Beatle Paul McCartney, actresses Isabella Rossellini and Jeanette MacDonald, and singer Alison Moyet.

Their great joie de vivre, their relish of new ideas, their typically positive and energetic approach to everything that they undertake, as well as the responsible attitude that they manifest toward their family members, friends and colleagues, all combine to make those born on June 18 attractive and popular personalities to whom others naturally gravitate. They are particularly valued for the generous encouragement and support that they offer to those closest to them, and for the enlivening and quirky sense of fun that they inject into their interpersonal relationships, a tendency that is redoubled if they were also born in the Chinese year of the horse.
June 18 people are imaginative individuals, whose restless curiosity can lead them to explore previously untapped areas, often with remarkably original results. They have the potential to make an especial mark in the performing arts, for which most have a nat- ural affinity, but they may also blaze trails as scien- tific researchers or business entrepreneurs. Whatever career they choose, they prefer to work as part of a team rather than in an individual capacity, for they are greatly stimulated by personal contact.
Although their propensity to enjoy life to the full- est and their gregariousness may mean that those born on this day take some time to commit themselves to a life partner, once domestically settled they are typi- cally deeply affectionate and considerate toward their loved ones. They usually make gifted parents, although they may find it hard to resist attempting to control their offsprings’ lives, a tendency that may ultimately cause resentment.
