Born on June 19

Says Astrology: "Geminis born June 19 adore being in the spotlight and will fight to stay there. They are goal-oriented and know their own worth and are eager to prove it. They are exuberant, creative people who light up a room when they enter it. They have personality to spare and are not shy about displaying it.

"They have a slightly idealized view of relationships. They are usually romantically linked with like-minded individuals. It may take a long time to find someone special to love, but when they do they are happy to hang up their dancing shoes forever." For more, click here.
