Born today, you are a fiery and determined individual, and even when you are just starting out on your journey in life -- personally and professionally -- it will be clear to others that you mean business, that you play to win and that you are in it for the long haul. Indeed, once you begin to score professional successes, you are never likely to look back. You have a great many natural talents, but one in particular is likely to call to you at some point and earn your primary focus; when developed fully, it can prove the key to lasting success and contentment.
You are a serious individual, but you do know how to laugh -- and when you do, the sound of it can fill a room. Indeed, though you can be rather reserved, there is nothing quite like the sight -- and sound -- of you cutting loose!
Also born on this date are: Dame Maggie Smith, actress; Nichelle Nichols, actress; Denzel Washington, actor; Woodrow Wilson, U.S. president.
