Born today, you are far more adept at cleaning up other people's messes than you are your own, but this can have certain advantages as you make your way through life. You are less likely to make messes of your own simply because you know how to avoid them. This can make your life more streamlined than it otherwise might be -- which suits your personality quite well. You like things to be just so, which inspires you in most cases to keep things simple and straightforward.
You like to look at things from all possible points of view -- not that you avoid embracing a single perspective, but rather so that you know as much as you can about a given issue. You don't like to go through life guessing; you much prefer having all available information at your fingertips.
Also born on this date are: Milla Jovovich, model and actress; Chase Utley, baseball player; Laurie Holden, actress; Pope Francis, leader of the Catholic church; Eugene Levy, actor; Chris Matthews, political commentator; Bill Pullman, actor; Bernard Hill, actor; Giovanni Ribisi, actor; Arthur Fiedler, orchestra conductor.
