6/11-”The day of the Limit Pusher”
Those born on June 11 have the courage to push beyond boundaries imposed by either society or nature. Their will to overcome, to go one step further, to break out of limitation is marked. Therefore, those born on this day may be called expansive and somewhat aggressive personalities.
In order to overcome limitations, however, one must recognize them for what they are. To this end, successful June 11 people are students, even scientists, well versed in their field or speciality. They wish to know their subject well and achieve technical mastery of it. Instead of fearing danger, June 11 people often recognize it as a necessary stimulus. Once they have progressed to the limit others have reached, it only remains for them to push on. This exploration can manifest in any area: business, sports, cooking, sex, drugs, emotional, and psychological areas, frightening or criminal experiences, even in raising a family to new heights of excellence.
The elements-earth, air, fire, water-are often central themes in the lives of June 11 people, whose exploration are themselves elemental. Of course, those who live with June 11 people may share in their trials but mostly are concerned spectators, for the experiements of those born on this day are a process of self-realization and ultimately it ts their own limits they are pushing.
June 11 people generally do not have the confusing variety of interests and lack of specialization typical of many Geminis. They are most often grounded and studied in one discipline to which they devote all of their energy. Those born on this day are markedly intense, highly competitive people. Their will to win is strong and rarely do they back down, give in or desist from the struggle for any reason. They are not types given to early or inactive retirement but “bop til they drop.” and would rather go out in a blaze of glory than fade away. For those born on June 11, there are no guarantees of success nor does insurance against failure really mean much. For them it could be said that “the play’s the thing” and since they compete with abandon, the question of winning or losing is somehow secondary. “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing” thus takes on new meaning.
…Nonetheless, June 11 people must beware of overstepping the bounds of society. They not only have a habit of arousing enmity and jealousy but can also appear downright arrogant to some people. Those indeed guilty of such hubris can become truly tragic victims, struck down by their social group, ostracized, even incarcerated. Those born on this day, particularly, have a need for humility that guards their goodness from conceit or extreme egotism.

I love this – where did you get it? Seems to be gently poking fun at typical horoscopes
