Born today, you embody what may be the perfect combination of brains and brawn, and most of your success in life will be the result of careful and insightful thought combined with significant physical effort made possible through planning and training. You have many talents and even more interests, and you're likely to be pulled in any number of directions, especially when you are young and exploring possibilities.
When it comes to matters that are more transcendent than mundane, you are willing to consider, explore, study and experiment with all manner of beliefs, ideals, principles and faiths. What you will not do is simply accept what you are told by someone else -- or give in to the demands of those who think they know better than you.
Also born on this date are: Jennifer Hudson, singer and actress; Yao Ming, basketball player; Hans Zimmer, composer; Linda Gray, actress; Ian Holm, actor; Rachel Ward, actress; Joe Pantoliano, actor.
