Born today, you know how to take control of a situation and turn it to your advantage, but you know when to allow another to do the same, and you are more than willing to help him or her do this when appropriate. You don't always have to be the one in the spotlight; you are more than willing to let another enjoy that privilege, and you are able to enjoy the successes of others tremendously -- especially if you were able to help in some way. Strong-willed and seemingly fearless, you will step forward into the fray when others are compelled by self-protection to stay behind the lines in safety. You know that success sometimes comes at a price.
You are curious about the world around you, about how it works and how the people in it thrive. You are particularly interested in those who are most dramatically different from yourself. It is likely that you will travel extensively in your lifetime if you have the means. You are drawn to other lands and peoples.
Also born on this date are: Maya Rudolph, actress and comedian; Jonathan Rhys Meyers, actor; Jerry Van Dyke, actor; Betty Thomas, actress; Taylor Schilling, actress; Peggy Fleming, Olympic figure skater; Norman Lear, TV producer; Maureen McGovern, singer; Christopher Dean, Olympic figure skater; Johann Bernoulli, mathematician; Keenan Wynn, actor; Leo Durocher, baseball manager.

MONDAY, JULY 28
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be in charge, but you may be called upon to take the lead when no one else will. Be ready to take on quite a burden.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're ready to move when the time comes, but it may be enough for you to simply re-examine your plans and motives.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be forced to change how you think about certain things -- and a key relationship is likely to take on a new guise.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are charismatic and energetic and certainly up to the task that falls to you -- though you may express certain insecurities.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The unexpected brings you closer to something that is very important to you. It's time to consider making a new pledge, of sorts.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- That which is most ordinary will, strangely enough, attract both your attention and your interest.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're eager to see where the future will take you, but now is no time to skip steps in order to get there. Take things one at a time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Routine business beckons, even though you are eager to immerse yourself in something that is in no way routine. There's room for it all.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Insist that your opinion be considered -- or, if you must, hold your tongue. Those are the only two options open to you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to keep things moving apace, but someone close to you may express fears or concerns that give you pause.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your hard work is beginning to pay off. Others recognize that you have been the driving force for quite some time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The obvious may not be all that clear to you. Something that requires close examination, however, will make itself known.
