Born today, you have a keen sense of prevailing conditions, both good and bad, and you are able to adjust your behavior to suit whatever situation you may find yourself in at any given time. Some may say that you are not trustworthy for this very reason, because they assume you are being insincere when you are able to behave one way at this moment and another the next, but the fact is that you never do or say anything that is out of character. You simply let certain aspects of your personality shine more brightly than others when necessary, depending on the circumstances. You are sensitive of others' moods and attitudes, and you can quickly and accurately sum up what a person is feeling. This comes in handy when it is time for conflict resolution.
Your emotions are often locked deep within a vault carefully constructed to protect yourself and others from passions that are in fact quite volatile. When you do release them, it is best that you do so in service of productivity, and apply them to work that benefits others as well as yourself.
Also born on this date are: C. Thomas Howell, actor; Larry Bird, basketball player; Tom Waits, singer and actor; Johnny Bench, baseball player; Ellen Burstyn, actress; Ted Knight, actor; Eli Wallach, actor; Louis Prima, musician and singer.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not understand what motivates someone else. You must focus more on what drives you, not others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may feel as though someone is walking all over you, and the truth is that you're letting them take advantage of you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have a few regrets that are hard to shake. Give yourself credit for the things you've done right, and take it from there.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be invited to take part in a celebration of sorts, but what is really going on is something that has special meaning to you alone.
