Day of Emancipation

According to Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elffers, people born on July 1 are highly sensitive, capable and adaptable, as well as emotionally open. They are profound, giving, and determined, as well as troubled, depressive, and long-suffering, but ...

they generally win out in their struggle against dominance, injustice or oppression of any type [...] Sometimes those born on this day become remarkably extroverted once they come out of their shell, and actively seek out life's pleasures. Such revels are a kind of lifelong celebration of emancipation.

Some well-known July 1 natives are Princess Diana, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, Debbie Harry, and Lillet Langtry.

It's my favorite day.
