Born today, you are one of the most forward-thinking, progressive and ambitious individuals born under a sign known for being ambitious and acquisitive. You will not settle for less than what you want -- if you can help it -- and you will work long and hard to reach your goals, even if it means putting other important things aside or undergoing a great deal of hardship as a result. You don't take "no" for an answer -- even when it is, indeed, the best answer! This can lead to a great many conflicts with those who choose to stand between you and your goals, for whatever reason.
You have a keen understanding of what makes you tick, and yet you do not always extend this knowledge to others; you can, in fact, be quite impatient and intolerant of those who behave exactly as you would in similar situations -- simply because you don't stop to think about why they are behaving as they do. You can be too quick to make up your mind about things.
Also born on this date are: Louise Lasser, actress; Ethel Kennedy, wife of Robert Kennedy; Oleg Cassini, fashion designer; Joel Grey, actor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The advice you offer a friend or loved one may not be understood at first; take care you don't make things worse by becoming defensive.
