Born today, you enjoy doing what comes naturally and following your instincts down the path they forge for you each day. Of course, you do understand that this is not always possible, that you must sometimes do things that you have to do, rather than the things you want to do, in order to get by and live in the everyday, practical world. However, you prefer not to think about routine, mundane things like savings, budgets, schedules and the like; you would rather do whatever you want, whenever you want -- and who wouldn't? Your peculiar difficulty lies in your seeming inability to override the frustration and melancholy that can result from having to do what you don't want to do.
You are quite imaginative, and you must do something productive with the constant creative activity in your mind as often as humanly possible. You can't just sit and think; you must turn those thoughts into actions that yield results, even if only for you and you alone.
Also born on this date are: David Hasselhoff, actor and singer; Donald Sutherland, actor; Phyllis Diller, actress and comedian; James Cagney, actor; Art Linkletter, television personality; Diahann Carroll, actress; Erle Stanley Gardner, author; Regina Belle, singer.
