Your Birthday for December 06, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 6th, 2012

Born today, you have what it takes to attract a great deal of attention to yourself at any given moment, and though this may result in personal advancement and gain, what really counts for you is doing things for others -- and you can surely use your natural charisma, talents and communication skills to promote ideas that benefit those around you in addition to yourself. You are not always at home in the trenches doing the day-to-day work; rather, you are better suited to a position near the top that allows you to think and to come up with plans that are implemented by others. You are a natural leader.

You have the ability to remain true to yourself even when the world seems to be conspiring against you and your ideals -- which is something you're certainly going to have to get used to if you wish to survive and succeed. You may, at times, feel as though you are in it alone.

Also born on this date are: Steven Wright, comedian; Tom Hulce, actor; Dave Brubeck, musician; Agnes Moorehead, actress; Ira Gershwin, lyricist; Lynn Fontanne, actress.

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.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will want to give an ally a bit more time to do what is required -- and what you know he or she can do very well indeed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- "It's a keeper!" That's what you'll be saying about something you merely stumbled across -- and you're not in the mood to share, either!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Address issues directly and they're not likely to develop into anything you cannot handle with ease. Strike while the iron is hot!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll find that good humor and a willingness to laugh at yourself will surely serve you well throughout an otherwise trying day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The wisdom you display will be appreciated by those who have not experienced what you have -- and by those who have, as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- They say you cannot please all the people all the time, but today you may come quite close. Your charm carries the day, surely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is no time to deceive those who are deserving of nothing but the truth. Any attempt to distort the facts will surely backfire on you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will want to investigate reports of misbehavior; surely you are not guilty of all that has been said about you!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not want to face what someone else has in store today, but you will soon realize that real progress depends upon it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have something surprising up your sleeve, but today may not be the day to reveal it. You've waited this long, you can wait longer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are not likely to respond to the kinds of cliche statements and answers that many will offer; you may want to be on your own.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You expected one thing but are likely to get something quite different today; even when all is said and done, you may be a bit disappointed.

Your Birthday for December 05, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 5th, 2012

Born today, you have a great many natural talents that will serve you well throughout your lifetime, but there will be one or two that you will want to develop as fully as possible to see where they may lead you in life. Do as much as you can to foster those that really ignite your passions and you will surely come upon a great many opportunities that can provide you with reward, contentment and even perhaps lasting fame -- provided, of course, you follow your passions and don't let the naysayers hold you back.

Despite the fact that you have one or two ideas that could be your claims to fame, you may require the assistance of someone who sees the potential in you and who is willing to take you under his or her wing and teach you the lessons you need to learn.

Also born on this date are: Joan Didion, author; Morgan Brittany, actress; Carrie Hamilton, actress; Walt Disney, cartoonist; Jim Messina, rocker; Little Richard, singer; Fritz Lang, filmmaker.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're after something of higher quality than others are used to experiencing -- and you know just how to achieve it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others may not realize you are on top of a situation they fear is getting out of control. It's time to let them know you're in charge!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Make no assumptions today, and don't let anyone else persuade you to do that which doesn't feel right. You are your own boss right now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Now is no time to worry about the things you cannot influence or control; indeed, there are plenty of other things to worry about, yes?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can exert a positive influence on someone who has, in the past, seemed to be immune to just that kind of pressure, good or bad.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Now is not the time to run from the responsibilities that you accepted only a short while ago. You know how to get things done!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Honesty is the best policy -- in most cases! Once or twice today, however, you'll want to avoid speaking the truth -- so say nothing at all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Focus on those things that really seem to speak to you. You do not want to expend energy on those things that leave you cold.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You and a friend will have to work closely together in order to reap the individual benefits that you feel are coming to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll impress others with your knowledge and skill, but it is your energy, enthusiasm and personality that really win the day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to break down at long last and do something you swore long ago you would never do -- but you have a good reason for doing so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It may be next to impossible to do that which someone else says cannot be done -- but you will want to give it a try anyway.

Your Birthday for December 04, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 4th, 2012

Born today, you are able to face a great many challenges, often all at once, and yet what you may not realize is that this can actually take a great deal out of you and make it necessary for you to rest and recuperate more than many others upon occasion -- and yet this is not something you are likely to do very often! You like to be on the go, to be on the move, to be getting things done and making things happen and you're not the kind to step out of the limelight merely to get a little rest and relaxation. You're a mover and a shaker.

You mix and mingle well, and you have a talent for listening to people and bringing them out of themselves; on the other hand, you are not all that eager to talk about yourself in social situations -- and indeed, others are likely to find you far more interesting than you do!

Also born on this date are: Tyra Banks, model; Marisa Tomei, actress; Lila McCann, singer; Jay-Z, rapper; Jeff Bridges, actor.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Give and ye shall receive today -- but not in the way you expect. A member of the opposite sex has some different ideas.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You don't have much time to get everything done, and your biggest mistake will be trying to do it all at once. Progress one step at a time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's a good deal you can accomplish in the privacy and comfort of your own home -- thanks to some recent technological advances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you are after may not be available to you just yet -- but that doesn't mean the pursuit isn't worth it for other reasons.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A portion of your winnings must be shared with someone who was instrumental in putting you in a winning position.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know what you're up to, but is that enough? You must also bring several unusual skills to bear -- and let others in on the plan as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have a surprise in store for someone who doesn't expect things to go to the next level just yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can give more than someone has asked for today -- but be sure to leave something for yourself as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to dig deep into your bag of tricks before you come up with just the right thing to do in a sticky situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's up to you to say or do what must be said or done -- no matter how difficult things may get as a result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Some confusion may result when you pull out all the stops and let your creativity loose. Others may question your intentions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's a good day for a trial run of some kind, before you are expected to put your reputation on the line for good.
