Born today, you are a rather opinionated individual, set in your ways and confident that your ideals are well-founded, solid and able to withstand all manner of challenges and affronts. None of this is by chance; all that you are is the result of much effort on your part -- effort to educate yourself, ready yourself and strengthen yourself for whatever you might face in life. You understand that things will be easy at times and much harder at other times, but you want to acquit yourself well no matter what sort of situation you face at any given moment. You are proud of who you are, but not so proud that you are unable to acknowledge your weaknesses when necessary.
You have several considerable talents, but they may not always seem to fit together! You may show marked ability in the written arts, for example, and then turn right around and display amazing physical prowess. The problem for you, of course, will be reconciling these very different skill sets.
Also born on this date are: Tupac Shakur, rapper; Phil Mickelson, golfer; Stan Laurel, actor and comedian; Geronimo, Apache tribal leader; Joan Van Ark, actress; Joyce Carol Oates, author; Jack Albertson, actor; Erich Segal, author.
