Born today, you have a dignified charm and a certain grace with which you approach almost everything, but you have a way of imbuing everything with a unique twist so that even when you are being "conventional" you are, in fact, challenging convention. You don't wear what other people wear, and you don't present yourself the way other people present themselves. However, you are able to get a pass from everyone because you are consistent in your inconsistency and your choices are never random or meaningless. You are always promoting some idea of "you" whenever you step out -- personally or professionally. You are ambitious, and you will rarely if ever quit a task until it has paid off in some way.
Despite the fact that you like to challenge expectations, you have a deep understanding of history and tradition, and indeed, your personal heritage is very much a part of who you are. You are never one to abandon entirely what has gone before -- though you will always dress it up in a new way that advertises your own style and manner. You like knowing where you've come from.
Also born on this date are: Cher, singer and actress; Busta Rhymes, rapper; James Stewart, actor; Joe Cocker, singer; Tony Goldwyn, actor; Timothy Olyphant, actor; Mindy Cohn, actress; George Gobel, comedian; Ted Allen, TV personality; Dolley Madison, U.S. first lady; David Wells, baseball player; Anthony Zerbe, actor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Treat others the way you want to be treated and your behavior will surely be above reproach. Not everyone can meet your standards, however.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don't treat others too delicately today or they are likely to assume that something is wrong. Behave normally, no matter what.
