Born today, you are not always easy to get to know. In fact, there may be times when you actively avoid getting close to other people. Whether this springs from a fear of sacrificing your independence and autonomy, or a natural shyness that you find difficult to shake, the reality is that you often remain aloof and distant, and this makes some people uncomfortable. Others, however, understand you perfectly, and these are the people with whom you want to spend your time -- whether at work, rest or play. You are quick to embrace a cause, and when you choose to step up and speak out, others are sure to listen and follow suit. You are a born leader, whether you know it or not, and there will surely be times when you find yourself at the front of the pack, surging ahead, not knowing how you got there in the first place!
Like anyone, you can sometimes be down in the dumps, but overall you are a positive, optimistic individual, able to see the best parts of those you encounter -- even if they are not letting them show. You are able to look beneath the surface to the heart of an individual or situation. Not much passes you by, and you are quick to recognize what must be done in most situations.
Also born on this date are: Miranda Cosgrove, actress; George Lucas, filmmaker; Mark Zuckerberg, entrepreneur; Cate Blanchett, actress; Bobby Darin, singer; David Byrne, singer; Tim Roth, actor; Roy Halladay, baseball player; Robert Zemeckis, filmmaker; Amber Tamblyn, actress; Sofia Coppola, filmmaker.
