Written in the Stars

Reading up on astrological signs is one of my favorite past times, and I should say it is also one of my guiltiest pleasures. As a friend has justified before, astrological readings are a great "jump-off" point to getting to know the people you are surrounded with (and frankly, a catalyst for my fascination of why some people behave and act the way they do!). I discovered birthday astrology this year, after getting bored with the generic birthday month analyses.

JULY 4 BIRTHDAY ASTROLOGY (howstuffworks.com)
It's not always easy to get along with July 4 Cancers, who are a strong-willed and determined bunch. Yet they are fair enough to admit when they are wrong and even apologize once in a while. July 4 natives have a humanitarian streak and will do many good deeds in their life, but they prefer to do them secretly.

Friends and Lovers
July 4 individuals are generally regarded as leaders by the people in their circle of friends, and they may seem somewhat distant because of this attitude of authority. They are equally regimented in romance. They leave nothing to chance and are forever trying to "manage" those they love.

Children and Family
July 4 people have strong ties to family members, particularly siblings. As parents, they draw upon their background and pass on the values that were bequeathed to them.

Health
These robust, vigorous individuals are often health fanatics. They consider exercise a necessity, not just a pastime. They are perennial dieters yet usually settle upon a more realistic eating plan at some time in their experience.

Career and Finances
Because of their charisma, July 4 natives often gravitate to professions where they are "on display" such as performing arts, modeling, and media. Their financial stability is questionable; these people often make a great deal of money yet are unable to hold onto it.

Dreams and Goals
July 4 individuals take pleasure from starting each new day and realizing its potential. They need to find personal happiness in order to make their lives worthwhile.

This is me, to a T. I love this stuff!
