Born today, you are never one to advertise your own desires or share your innermost feelings with anyone but your closest, most intimate friends -- and this special group may not even include family members! You hide your feelings in a guise of expertise, toughness, aloofness or any number of manufactured traits that actually belie your natural sensitivity. Like many Capricorn natives, you may not always know what to do with yourself, but you will always busy yourself with activity that is useful to someone in some way.
You are a generous individual, and there may well be times when you do so much for others that you actually sacrifice, in the moment, your own development and contentment. Others may see you as capable and ambitious, but you sometimes think of yourself as a fish out of water.
Also born on this date are: Sir Isaac Newton, physicist; Jimmy Buffett, singer and songwriter; Humphrey Bogart, actor; Annie Lennox, singer; Clara Barton, nurse and humanitarian; Rod Serling, screenwriter and producer; Sissy Spacek, actress; Barbara Mandrell, singer and actress; Cab Calloway, bandleader.
