Born today, you have an adventurous spirit. It is not so much that you are a "daredevil" -- far from it, actually -- but rather that you feel most alive when you are taking certain calculated risks. Though you never try to get hurt -- or worse -- you will take your knocks when they come. Others may not fully understand why you need to live on the edge, but that is of little concern to you; indeed, you follow your own heart and mind in all things, and if what you do is aligned with how other people think, so be it -- though that is never your intention.
You don't like to feel tied down -- and this can cause serious difficulties where long-term relationships are concerned, for the moment you feel restricted rather than elevated by a relationship -- in love or with a friend -- you will be tempted to sever your ties and go your own way.
Also born on this date are: Ryan Seacrest, TV personality; Ricky Martin, singer and actor; Ava Gardner, actress; Howard Hughes, aviation pioneer and movie producer; Kit Carson, trailblazer; Mary Higgins Clark, author; Georges Guynemer, French World War I pilot; Michael Curtiz, film director.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can make things right between yourself and an old friend who used to play a leading role in many of your personal affairs.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be occupied by something that is actually taking you away from the things you should be doing. Try not to stray too far today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A distant memory comes into sharp focus very suddenly today, and your reaction tells you a lot about something that was never truly resolved.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are looking for answers, but not in the right places. Be certain that you are not overlooking an obvious source of information.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your own work may have to go on the back burner today while you tend to the affairs of someone who has made his or her reliance on you very clear.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Communication may not be made easier with technology today; you may have to do things the old-fashioned way. Start by writing a letter.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You need to get in touch with someone face-to-face today in order to address an issue that simply refuses to go away. Don't be fearful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll realize why you are having difficulty getting through to someone today. Put your efforts where you know they are best rewarded.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There is only one job for you today, and you know just what it is and how to do it -- better than anyone else, very likely. Dress to impress!
