Born today, you are likely to enjoy the best things in life, whether or not you were born into privilege. The truth is that you will always work hard to improve yourself and your lot in life, regardless of the challenges that lie in your way. Indeed, those challenges may sometimes be just the kinds of circumstances that others would love to call their own! You are driven to understand the people around you. You are not the kind merely to do what you are told or to perform as expected, and you will rebel quite openly if you find yourself in a position that is limiting or oppressive in any way. You have an insightful mind, but you do not always let on that you are thinking about this or that in a certain way. Sometimes, you believe, it is best to keep others guessing.
Whether you are experiencing good fortune or bad, you can always be counted on to behave in a manner that is truly "you." You're not one to pretend to be anyone else -- even with those who would clearly prefer it if you did. No reward is worth being untrue to yourself, and you make this clear in many ways each and every day.
Also born on this date are: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, U.S. first lady; Jim Davis, cartoonist; Elizabeth Berkley, actress; Sally Struthers, actress; Beatrix Potter, author; Joe E. Brown, actor; Rudy Vallee, singer; Vida Blue, baseball player; Soulja Boy, rapper; Lori Loughlin, actress; Alexis Arquette, actress; Stephen Lynch, comedian and musician.
