HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you haven’t done so already, take on a career that embraces your social prowess. You may have the spirit of an entertainer, which could shine in positions where you are the center of attention. As a hobby, you may find great satisfaction in improvisation. Look to the works of Jerry Stiller and Keenen Ivory Waynes, who were also born on June 8th, for inspiration. On the other hand, you may do well in more traditional people-based careers, such as education, customer service, sales or business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
