Born today, you are sometimes prone to dramatic, even violent, mood swings that you can neither explain nor understand. The best you can do, throughout your lifetime, is to learn to anticipate when they are likely to happen, and what to do when they occur. The thing not to do, of course, is to let them affect you without trying to minimize their negative consequences, or maximize the positive. Indeed, you can learn to take full advantage of any change in your spirits or state of mind -- provided you know what each shift means to you as far as behavior and emotional stability are concerned, and provided you've learned to work with them rather than fight against them. Trying to be someone you're not, to appear stable when you are actually quite mercurial, would be a mistake!
You have a great deal of personal magnetism and charisma; you know how to attract attention and keep it, and others are sure to gravitate toward you as a matter of course. You are far more intellectual than anyone might assume, and this will serve you well in all aspects of your daily life, both personally and professionally.
Also born on this date are: Freddie Mercury, singer; Michael Keaton, actor; Rose McGowan, actress; Raquel Welch, actress; Bob Newhart, actor and comedian; George Lazenby, actor; John Cage, composer; Jesse James, outlaw; Cathy Guisewite, cartoonist; John Bradley-West, actor.
