Your Birthday for December 12, 2012

Your Birthday | December 12th, 2012

Born today, you have what it takes to be one of the greats. Period. Such remarkable success and achievement is not, however, guaranteed, and to fulfill your destiny is likely to require something of a sacrifice on your part on more than one occasion. You are likely to determine at an early age what you were meant to do in life, and it is just as likely that you will enjoy this avenue fully. In other words, you are not destined to do something you do not want to do! You know how to go for broke without seeming to endure much hardship -- and even those aforementioned sacrifices will be willingly made.

You insist on doing what comes naturally in both the personal and professional arenas, and if you cannot be original in your endeavors, you would rather not engage in them at all. It is likely, however, that you will be remembered for being one of a kind -- which is just the way you will like it!

Also born on this date are: Tracy Austin, tennis player; Cathy Rigby, gymnast and actress; Bob Barker, game show host; Frank Sinatra, singer, actor, entertainer.

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.

Your Birthday for December 11, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 11th, 2012

Born today, you are not likely to go unnoticed for any long periods of time, for your talents and your personality are sure to attract attention almost anywhere you go -- and even, much to your dismay, when you go someplace to get out of the public eye! Still, you will learn to deal with the kind of attention you are sure to get throughout your lifetime, and turn it to your advantage. Fighting what occurs naturally is only going to result in frustration and keep you from the happiness you so deserve. You are strong-willed, but not so much so that you are able to keep the inevitable from occurring.

You believe strongly that you have a destiny, and despite the ups and downs that anyone must endure in life, you are likely to fulfill that destiny to a greater or lesser degree -- provided you do what you are most naturally suited to do.

Also born on this date are: Bess Armstrong, actress; Teri Garr, actress; Donna Mills, actress; Rita Moreno, actress; Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Russian writer; Fiorello La Guardia, New York mayor; Hector Berlioz, composer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can improve your odds and minimize any negative trends simply by being yourself -- and telling the truth when you have the chance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Are you more concerned about racing against the clock today, or against an opponent who is gaining ground?

Your Birthday for December 10, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 10th, 2012

Born today, you are one of those powerful, charismatic individuals who affects others merely by entering a room -- and those who come in contact with you are sure to remember you for a long, long time. You are fiercely talented and able to do many things simultaneously. There is something about you that may all but ensure that you will fill more than one management position in your lifetime. You enjoy working with others. You are able to get along with a wide variety of types and personalities -- and even when you do not actively "like" someone you are able to maintain the most cordial relationship with him or her.

You don't like to be told "no." Indeed, because you are bound and determined to do precisely what you want to do when you want to do it, you may find yourself in over your head now and then.

Also born on this date are: Kenneth Branagh, actor and director; Susan Dey, actress; Dan Blocker, actor; Dorothy Lamour, actress; Chet Huntley, newscaster; Emily Dickinson, poet.
