Born today, you are always willing to give it your all, and to strive for knowledge, discovery and self-improvement even while you go after success and tangible rewards. You are rather fearless, and you shine in situations that others would find too threatening to face. Indeed, the unknown, which can be daunting to so many others, seems to beckon to you, and you will explore it freely and enthusiastically whenever given the chance. You know that you have something to give and that your contribution can be important and memorable -- provided, of course, that you find the right forum for your efforts.
Whether or not you have a career that is long-lived, you will surely be remembered, and this will satisfy your ambitious nature. But more important to you, always, is a certain personal contentment that may be frustratingly elusive -- but always worth pursuing.
Also born on this date are: Jordin Sparks, singer; Ralph Fiennes, actor; Robin Gibb, singer; Maurice Gibb, singer; Diane Sawyer, journalist; Barbara Billingsley, actress; Hector Elizondo, actor; Gene Rayburn, game-show host; Giacomo Puccini, composer; Connie Mack, baseball manager.
