Born today, you are able to get the most out of situations that offer very little. In this way, you can maximize your own chances of success again and again, getting more for your efforts than most others are able to imagine. You are sure to be envied for your ability to be in the right place at the right time, but this makes it sound like your success is based on luck, and that is simply not true. You are a hardworking individual, and you are quite careful and vigilant when it comes to opportunity; you don't immediately jump at one that comes your way, but rather you wait for it and cultivate it.
You have strong attachments to family, friends and all those who play an active and important role in your life. Although you may be out of touch for lengthy periods, when you reunite with those you care about, it is likely to seem as though no time has passed at all.
Also born on this date are: Sinead O'Connor, singer-songwriter; Teri Hatcher, actress; Kim Basinger, actress; John Rubinstein, actor; Jim Morrison, singer-songwriter; James Galway, flutist; David Carradine, actor.
