Born today, you know how to turn a bad decision into a good one, just as you know how to turn almost any negative situation into a positive one -- and that's exactly what will give you the advantage over others again and again throughout your lifetime. You understand that with accomplishment comes confidence, and with confidence comes strength -- but it's not always the kind of strength that can be easily recognized by others. Indeed, your particular brand is not easily seen or recognized -- even by those who know you best -- and were one to be asked what you have going for you, he or she would most likely be at a loss to pinpoint any one thing. Suffice it to say that you are admired by many -- but known by very few.
You are easygoing and affable, and you walk through life without tipping your hand about anything that is most important to you. You know what you want out of life, but you're not willing to do anything to get it; you have your rules, and you will follow them at all times -- on your terms.
Also born on this date are: Holly Marie Combs, actress; Daryl Hannah, actress; Julianne Moore, actress; Ozzy Osbourne, rocker; Andy Williams, singer; Bobby Allison, auto racer.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Quality and quantity are both essential today; you cannot sacrifice one without sacrificing the other. The integrity of your work is key.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to do something today that every instinct is telling you not to do. In time, you can make it up to someone left out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone may have trouble grasping a situation that you know all too well. This problem can be solved by stating your case more clearly.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Focus on specifics today, and don't let anyone obscure the central issue. You can explain yourself with clarity -- and a certain eloquence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't wait any longer to do what you know must be done. Today you'll have the opportunity to maximize your gains -- if you act now.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't want to miss out on something being offered by a friend or loved one -- but that may require giving up something you value highly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Who's asking the questions and who's providing the answers? Today, you may be compelled to accept certain difficult truths.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are able to work in tandem with a certain someone today far more productively than you have in the recent past.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not have the best ideas today when it comes to making your money go as far as possible. An expert sheds light on this problem.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's important that you share your most basic beliefs with someone else today in order to be understood on a new level. Progress is made.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A sacrifice may seem noble, but today it's merely giving up something that you really don't need to give up. Find another way.
