Born today, you are often able to do yourself what those around you are, for whatever reason, unable or unwilling to do. You seem to know what fears and insecurities haunt other people, and you strive at all times to avoid them -- or, if necessary, relieve yourself of them when they descend upon you. Though you are not by nature a loner, you can do a great deal on your own, without so much as advice, guidance or instruction from others.
You are fond of all manner of exploration and training; you love to learn new things -- and if that involves active pursuits, all the better! You love to jump in and "have a go," getting your hands dirty as you struggle to learn all you need to know to prevail at whatever endeavor has attracted you.
Also born on this date are: Katherine Heigl, actress; William F. Buckley Jr., writer, columnist, TV host; Scott Joplin, ragtime composer; Colin Hanks, actor; Zachary Taylor, U.S. president.
