Born today, you are likely to enjoy an early and auspicious start to a noteworthy career -- even though, at the time, you may not be completely aware of what is happening! To say that you are lucky is an understatement; you have a knack for being in the right place at the right time, and for turning a chance encounter into a meeting that can change your life. You're likely to score a great many firsts in life, and to be recognized for your leadership in a variety of endeavors. You're not one to be left in the dust, but rather the kind to surge forward, embracing new opportunities wherever and whenever you can, to show others what is possible.
Many will think that you are emotionally invulnerable; this is the result of the confidence you display and the zeal with which you approach most endeavors. However, you do have a dark side, even if it's not something you like to display openly.
