Born today, you are quite soft-spoken, yet when it comes to taking action you can be quite aggressive. This combination can be surprising to those who do not know you well, but they don't understand that, to you, actions do speak much louder than words. And besides, you might ask, what's wrong with taking action when it can do much to improve the lives of those around you? That's what it's all about for you: making sure that what you do benefits many, not just a few.
You may have unconventional beliefs; when it comes to faith, you may at times lean more toward the occult than any form of standardized religion. You see nothing wrong with following your heart in such matters -- so long as you do not negate another's beliefs or do anything to hurt those around you.
Also born on this date are: Andy Murray, tennis player; Emmitt Smith, football player; James Mason, actor; George Brett, baseball player; Eddy Arnold, country singer; Madeleine Albright, stateswoman; John Smoltz, baseball player; Chazz Palminteri, actor; Joseph Cotten, actor; L. Frank Baum, author.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone is likely to tell you to get over it more than once today -- but that's not going to happen as long as you are in close proximity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find that it is easier to do something against the rules than it is to follow them to the letter. Is this something to hide?
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are able to combine style with substance in a most proactive and productive way today. Someone in charge shares a big idea with you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can accommodate someone else's needs today without having to go without yourself. Putting your best foot forward is complicated after dark.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're likely to find out a little more today than you ever wanted to know. What you do with the information is what really matters, however.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to get tough today in order to teach someone close to you a lesson. By day's end, you'll know that the message was received.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can share a good laugh with a few friends, and only later will you start to think that there's actually a very serious issue to consider.
