Born today, you are not quite what you seem to be, and this is sure to give you an advantage in a great many of life's most taxing situations. Some may see you as flighty and irresponsible, others as disconnected or self-absorbed and even others as simply difficult. The truth, of course, is that while you can be all of these things, every such trait is accompanied in your nature by its polar opposite. Thus, you are solid, reliable, responsible, communicative and generous. You are likely to accomplish much that is unique and memorable in your lifetime.
You will accept burdens with grace, and you will see things through even if it means you must weather uncommon and lasting difficulties. There is a kind of deep sadness about you that others cannot truly comprehend, and it is an aspect of your personality that you must surely learn to navigate.
Also born on this date are: Sharon Osbourne, TV personality; Scott Bakula, actor; John Lennon, singer, musician, former Beatle; Jackson Browne, singer and songwriter.
