Born today, you are a determined and hard-working individual, but you're not the kind to limit yourself to a single course of endeavor at any time. Rather, you let your heart and your head lead you into all manner of new encounters and new activities day by day, choosing rather liberally which of those will be worthy of further study and pursuit. Of course you are able to do what is required, what you are told, and what everyone must -- but you also insist that you be allowed to "follow your bliss" and do those things that strike your fancy and offer you true contentment, regardless of the level of success you enjoy.
You are usually easygoing, but when you are met with unfair criticism or obstacles that cannot be avoided, you can become quite cranky and defensive. When it comes to love, you're not about to brook any kind of restrictions or limitations; indeed, there are times when your liberal views may cause you some hardship.
Also born on this date are: Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, physician and author; Kevin Bacon, actor; Roone Arledge, sports promoter; Marty Feldman, actor and comedian; John D. Rockefeller, tycoon.

TUESDAY, JULY 9
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll have to fight through some unusual fatigue at some point today in order to get things done on time. A personal discovery helps.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can be quite helpful today if the mood strikes you. Otherwise, you may actually be unusually selfish in many of your dealings.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not have a chance to step into the spotlight today, but you can watch from the wings as a friend turns in a first-class performance.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must be prepared today to proceed with renewed vigor a plan that has lain dormant for quite some time. Others are ready to assist you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to ask someone in charge for permission to do something just a bit out of the ordinary today. You know what the results will be!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are likely to have a chance to do something important for someone who is not in a position to make things happen for himself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A difference of opinion may have to be taken straight to the top today so that a third party in the know can sort it all out.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be surprised to know that someone else is aware of your actions, especially in so much detail. You'll want to know why!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It will be up to you today to decide just who will be rewarded and who will not, though in some cases the decision has already been made.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A review of recent events may clarify certain details that have been fuzzy to you since it all began.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be threatened today in some way, but you mustn't let a knee-jerk reaction make things worse. You can avoid real danger.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be on dangerous ground today, but take care that you don't mistake an ally for an enemy. It's time to cut through all the mystery.
