Born today, you are a positive individual with a bright outlook and the ability to turn a seeming disadvantage into a clear advantage. You are also rather aggressive when it comes to advancing your own personal agenda. When others do not agree with you, the situation can become quickly volatile, for you're not one to back down without a fight. You know what you want, and you know how to progress in a straight line from where you are any given time, to where you want to be -- and you will brook no interference from anyone. You are no stranger to hardship, and you can learn quickly from adversity.
You are likely to be drawn to a particular endeavor at an early age, and though you will be eager to explore as many professional avenues as possible, you are likely to be pulled back again and again to that one that speaks to you and from which you derive the most inspiration and personal satisfaction.
Also born on this date are: William "Refrigerator" Perry, football player; Steven Bochco, TV writer and producer; Sir Noel Coward, actor, playwright, entertainer; Jane Austen, writer.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 17
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have more trouble getting things done than anticipated, mostly because you have not taken a certain truth into account.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be enjoying the things you usually enjoy -- but you can make a few changes in order to increase your own satisfaction.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been dealing with someone for some time who has been keeping his or her true feelings well concealed. Today, you may learn the truth.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can break a habit or two today -- at least temporarily -- and this will inform a great deal that you are up to in the coming days.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You know where you're going, but you may not be getting there as quickly as you might like. Imagine an improvement, and you can make it so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to give others a reminder so they know what you are up to -- and when you can lend a hand in their affairs.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've earned the trust of someone who, in the past, has been rather doubtful that you have what it takes. It's time to work together.
