Born today, you are a fun-loving and sociable individual -- but when you settle down to work you can be serious and solitary, and often prefer it that way. You believe there is room for everything in life -- for work, for play, for following the rules and for breaking them when necessary. You needn't strive to be consistent in everything you do. Anything you do is organic and natural to you -- provided you are letting yourself respond truthfully to situations as they arise. You know how to apply your best traits to situations as required, and how to minimize your faults and maximize your chances for success.
You are quite ambitious, but this is not something you advertise -- and indeed, it might be something that others simply do not know about you. Yet it is true -- and it is likely you will have set your sights on lofty goals even as a youngster. You know what you want -- and you will work hard to get it.
Also born on this date are: Julia Roberts, actress; Edith Head, costume designer; Cleo Laine, actress; Jane Alexander, actress; Joaquin Phoenix, actor; Bill Gates, computer mogul; Jonas Salk, medical researcher; Dennis Franz, actor; Charlie Daniels, singer and musician.
