Born today, you are something of a plotter, and you are always working on some plan or another -- if not two or three. You rarely do anything simply for its own sake, or just for the love of it -- though you certainly love most of what you do. Rather, you are always calculating what the potential gains might be if you are to follow this path, or that one, or do this, or that, and what overall betterment might result from your efforts.
You must always remember that as you strive to be the best, you are likely to encounter the worst in others again and again, and you must be able to keep yourself free from the kinds of blots and stains that can result from such interaction. And when it comes to personal relationships, you must avoid jealousy at all costs.
Also born on this date are: Nick Jonas, singer; Marc Anthony, singer; B.B. King, musician; Amy Poehler, actress and comedian; Jennifer Tilly, actress; David Copperfield, magician; Lauren Bacall, actress; Peter Falk, actor.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
