Born today, you know just who you are, what role or roles you fill and what is expected of you and how to fulfill those expectations. The fact that you are so self-possessed and have been endowed with such self-awareness is a credit not only to the stars -- by whom all such things are bestowed -- but to all of those who had a part in your upbringing. You believe that all things happen for a reason, but you don't always have to know what that reason is. It is enough for you that you have a "destiny"; you don't have to understand it completely.
You are charming, witty, bright and fun-loving. You thrive on activities that require you to use as much of your native skills as you possibly can -- and, if possible, all at once. In you, the physical, intellectual, psychological and spiritual combine to enable you to excel at all manner of things -- including many that are unusual in the extreme.
Also born on this date are: Malia Obama, daughter of a U.S. president; Eva Marie Saint, actress; Calvin Coolidge, U.S. president; Gina Lollobrigida, actress; Gloria Stuart, actress; Abigail Van Buren and Ann Landers, columnists.

FRIDAY, JULY 5
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Never say "never" -- you know what happens when you do! Today, you may relive an experience that is far better in the retelling of it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What has worked for you in the past isn't likely to do it for you now -- but you'd better tell someone, or adjustments cannot be made.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care today that you do not bite off more than you can chew. If you overcommit in this way, you will be exposing yourself to certain danger.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may require more time than usual to get routine affairs in order. Something is approaching more quickly than expected; acknowledge it!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What is beneficial to you today is not necessarily as helpful to one of your partners or family members. A compromise must be struck.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should be able to embrace someone's point of view today without sacrificing your own; there is certainly room for both!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You received a promise, but are still waiting for it to be realized. Saying something outright may be premature; you'll want to wait a bit longer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have the chance today to trade one thing for another and come out ahead. A friend or family member offers an unexpected warning.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may get the funny feeling that someone is looking over your shoulder today. Listen up, for he or she will have some good advice!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will not be able to get things done today without acknowledging the contributions of someone on the sidelines.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can learn a lot today from someone else's stories. What you hear may inspire you to make plans for heading off in a new direction.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Plans are not likely to pan out as expected today -- and yet you won't be able to say you didn't receive a warning. Make the best of it!
