Born today, you are almost always compelled to do things that are more difficult, more complicated or more involved than what others willingly put themselves through -- but "challenge" is your middle name! When you are young, you are likely to be drawn toward interests that require study and learning, or that afford you a broader, more comprehensive view of the world. When you are older, you are likely to pursue endeavors that require you to use the knowledge gained during your youth. You are never one to put your knowledge or your skills to waste.
When it comes to personal interaction, you prefer to mix and mingle with those who display some marked difference from yourself -- again, this derives from a compelling need to learn. The more you interact with people who are different from yourself, the more you learn about the world around you.
Also born on this date are: Jason Alexander, actor; Bruce Springsteen, singer and musician; Mary Kay Place, actress; Julio Iglesias, singer; Ray Charles, singer and musician; John Coltrane, musician; Mickey Rooney, actor.
