Born today, you are one of the most colorful individuals born under your sign, and your reputation as one who seizes every opportunity and exploits it for all it's worth is sure to precede you wherever you go. There are those who find your behavior somewhat raw, and indeed, you do not always follow the rules and norms that dictate the public behavior of most people.
You are deeply sensual, and anything that feeds any one of your many diverse tastes will be something you actively seek. There are times when you may want to tread a more conservative path -- not because you are supposed to, but because you recognize that it will be good for you to "tone it down" a bit. You are, indeed, your own most important person.
Also born on this date are: Steve Perry, singer; Guy Fieri, TV personality, host and chef; Diane Lane, actress; Linda Blair, actress; John Hurt, actor; Steven Adler, drummer; Bill Bixby, actor; Gabriel Macht, actor; D.W. Griffith, director.
