Born today, you are not afraid of doing what must be done. When others back away from a challenge out of fear or self-doubt, you can be counted on to step forward and tackle it head-on, in a uniquely fearless and enthusiastic manner. Despite any hardships you may face in life, you maintain a positive outlook, and you're not likely to succumb to negative thoughts for any appreciable length of time. Certainly you can fall into a funk now and then and be overtaken by a darker mood, but this is never more than temporary. You will surely bounce right back and continue dealing with the world in a way that has others eager to work with you. You can lead, or you can follow, but your ability to work with others as a member of a team is widely known.
If you don't have the tools you need to get something done, you know how to get them. And if you don't have the support you need, you know how to get that, too, for you are quite persuasive when you need to be. You know how to spot those who are most likely to be won over to your way of thinking. You may even have a career in politics -- if you want one!
Also born on this date are: Aaron Paul, actor; Paul Reubens, actor; Lyndon B. Johnson, U.S. president; Tuesday Weld, actress; Daryl Dragon, musician; Martha Raye, actress; G.W. Bailey, actor; Sarah Chalke, actress; Tom Ford, fashion designer; Peter Stormare, actor; Charles Fleischer, actor and comedian; Barbara Bach, actress; Ira Levin, novelist.
