Born today, you are likely to become known as someone who can be relied upon to deliver the goods. You have been endowed with tremendous staying power, as well as the ability to act with energy and commitment when you hit upon an idea that you think can pay off in the end. You don't care how long it takes for an idea to come to fruition, as long as you are confident that someday it will. Patience is one of your greatest strengths, and it is sure to be rewarded. You have a way of looking at things from a unique perspective; you seem to be able to see all sides of an issue at once, giving you a great ability to understand people.
There is an intensity about you that is not always apparent at first. In time, however, those who get to know you will recognize that you have, like so many other Leo natives, a strong current of emotion running beneath the surface. You reveal it upon occasion, taking others -- and possibly even yourself -- very much by surprise.
Also born on this date are: J.K. Rowling, author; Wesley Snipes, actor; Zac Brown, singer; Ted Cassidy, actor; Richard Griffiths, actor; Michael Biehn, actor; Geraldine Chaplin, actress.
