PORN today, you have a rather complex personality. There is more than a touch of genius in your make-up, but it must be strictly disciplined if you are to achieve the heights to which you are entitled by birth under your star. You have a magnetic per- sopality. This attracts people into your orbit. Yet, your natural reserve is apt to repel all those except the few who know you well and have been accepted into the small coterie of your in- timates.
You have vaunting ambitions, and the chances are good that with sufficient self-discipline you will achieve your ultimate goal. You have a shrewd business head and are able to make plans ou a gigantic scale. Sometimes your ambition overshoots the mark and you have difficulty in delivering exactly what you promise. However, you will see that something is delivered
Since you are not always as frank op you might be, not everyone knows exactly what is going on inside your hend. You often talk one way and act another. It is just that you think that the first idea is fine-- at first. Then, after you have an- nounced your plans, you may make a change. But you don't talk about that until the time comes. for action!
Public life would probably be suited to one of your capabili- fles. You have a gift, as well, for teaching or preaching. You have dramatic talents which you might use on the stage or, just an easily. in the conduct of your daily life. No matter what else, your life will never be a dull one. There is usually something happening most of the time.
Among those born on this date are; Alexander Hamilton, statesman; Dwight Morrow, banker and diplomat; Eva Le Gal- lienne, actor-producer; Ezra Cornell, educator; Bernard De Voto, ediler, author and historian.
