Born today, you are not likely to follow only one career path in life. You have a great deal of ambition, combined with healthy self-esteem and a tendency to become bored with things if they stay the same for too long. What is it that you will do? That is surely up to you to decide, but you may be able to prove that your opportunities are limitless by trying things that others think are not right for you -- and proving them wrong with a series of unlikely successes! There is little to hold you back except, upon occasion, a decision made in haste.
You have a worldview that allows you to get along with almost anybody; you are not a reactive kind of individual, in that you can accept others without standing in judgment of them. You can be quite generous once you have done well for yourself in the first place.
Also born on this date are: Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor and politician; Henry Ford, automotive mogul; Lisa Kudrow, actress; Vivica A. Fox, actress; Christopher Nolan, director; Hilary Swank, actress; Laurence Fishburne, actor; Kate Bush, singer; Paul Anka, singer; Alton Brown, celebrity chef; Emily Bronte, author; Jean Reno, actor; Casey Stengel, baseball player; Delta Burke, actress.

THURSDAY, JULY 31
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your ability to dodge quickly and effortlessly may fail you at some point today, resulting in a clash of wills that may prove challenging.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You know what's what -- or at least you think you do -- and today that's just as important. Substance and style are curiously conjoined.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are so interested in what another is bringing to the table that you may momentarily forget to make your own contribution.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can surely prevail, but it will take timing and more than a little bit of wit and cleverness. Evening brings a welcome break.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What appears before you, as if by magic, compels you toward a decision that you may or may not regret -- but you must commit to it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Follow the advice of those who have been in your shoes before and think twice before jumping into a situation that looks too good to be true.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may see and hear things that "take you back," but take care that you don't get lost in your own nostalgic reverie.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're ready to do for another what he or she was not ready to do for you only yesterday. Now is not the time for such competition.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are not as strong as you think you are, and you had best avoid anything that seems to offer a direct, unmasked challenge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone on the other end of the line may be waiting for your input or participation. Give it freely and enthusiastically.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone who has bested you many times before is likely to do it again today, but you won't mind; the component of fun is unbeatable!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A complicated idea is greater than the sum of its parts. You have been working long and hard, and today it begins to pay off.
