Born today, you are never one to sit back and let the world turn on its own; rather, you prefer to take part in an active, demonstrable way that is sure to influence things in some unique, inimitable manner. You are forward-thinking, progressive and eager to see things change. However, you know when things are to your liking, and you can certainly leave well enough alone when this is the case! You enjoy big projects, and you have that rare ability to keep the big picture firmly in sight while you work on the smallest of details. Indeed, this aptitude is likely to win you the greatest success in life. You are able to delegate and watch over others, but you prefer to be doing things yourself, on the front lines, "in the trenches."
What happens with the weather is likely to affect you a great deal more than others -- perhaps it is because of barometric pressure, moisture or even the presence or absence of light. But in any case, you must learn to tailor your activities to suit your weather-born moods and attitudes.
Also born on this date are: Judy Sheindlin, TV judge; Carrie Fisher, actress; Ursula K. Le Guin, author; Dizzy Gillespie, trumpeter; Alfred Nobel, scientist; Elvin Bishop, musician; Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet.
