Born today, you are a soft-spoken, easygoing individual with a tremendous gift for empathy, and there are times when you actually feel what others feel even more than they do! This can be something of a burden at times, and you must learn to switch it off when necessary so you are able to go about your business and not become obsessed with the feelings of those around you to the point of self-sacrifice or harm. Though you usually go about your business with little fanfare, you can count on others to sing your praises.

You may well score one or more important “firsts” in your life, not because you are especially eager to go where no one has gone before, but because the opportunity to explore what lies ahead simply proves impossible to resist. You are in no way competitive when it comes to life’s accomplishments, and you wish everyone around you the best.
