Born today, you sometimes let your feelings control you, and you may actually endanger yourself now and then by wearing your heart on your sleeve for others to "peck at" and possibly damage. There are times when it might be wiser to keep your feelings under wraps, for it is not always essential for others to know what is going on beneath the surface. Indeed, when it comes to private affairs, you may actually benefit from seeming neutral in many situations in order to avoid increased volatility and personal conflict. You are a thoughtful, sensitive, empathetic individual; you seem to know what others are thinking and feeling more than anyone else born under your sign.
You are always concerned with your own financial security, and you are quick to learn all you need to know to take advantage of trends in the market. Your success as an investor, however, often depends upon instinct and luck -- two factors you cannot control -- so you must strive to make cautious decisions.
Also born on this date are: Matthew McConaughey, actor; Ralph Macchio, actor; Kathy Griffin, comedian; Laura Bush, U.S. first lady; Loretta Swit, actress; Martin Balsam, actor; Art Carney, actor and comedian; Walter Cronkite, news anchor; Will Rogers, cowboy humorist; Peter Lord, animator; Doris Roberts, actress.
