Your Birthday for December 13, 2012

Your Birthday | December 13th, 2012

Born today, you have what it takes to make quite a name for yourself rather early in life, and to maintain your high level of accomplishment through the years and enjoy remarkable longevity -- even if your choice of careers is a difficult one, full of risk and potential disappointment. You're not one to be daunted by difficulty, however, and you will forge ahead confidently even when others can be found cowering or simply running away. You understand that to realize your own dreams you must work hard, endure much and never stop reaching for the stars -- among which you most certainly belong!

Your sense of humor is vivid and, at times, rather unconventional and even naughty; you like a good dirty joke now and then, though even when you are most colorful you always maintain the highest spirits. You are known for doing favors for others at the most unusual times.

Also born on this date are: Jamie Foxx, actor; Ted Nugent, rocker; John Davidson, actor; Christopher Plummer, actor; Dick Van Dyke, actor and comedian; Van Heflin, actor.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can accomplish what you have planned if you progress in a logical fashion. You can overcome obstacles one at a time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be asked for information that is not at your fingertips; ask for the time you need to research the answers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care that your aggressive stance isn't interpreted as maliciousness. You really don't mean any harm to anyone -- you're just eager.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're not likely to follow all of the rules to the letter -- but you can stop short of rewriting them entirely to suit your needs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may come close to breaking someone's heart -- but not in the way you may think. He or she is likely to have more at stake than you know.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to pursue what is possible through unusual channels today. The ordinary isn't likely to inspire you at this time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must be more discriminating when it comes to your likes and dislikes. Today, you cannot afford to appear uncaring.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Follow your instincts, and put your faith in your own natural abilities. What you've learned in the recent past comes in handy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What seems normal on the outside is likely to prove quite unusual when you examine it more closely. Use necessary caution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Energy is on the rise, but you must be sure you know what to do with it when the time comes. Certain criticism will be unavoidable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must do things in a way that is honest and true. Any attempt to change your style to suit another will prove disappointing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone is keen on knowing what your true motives are -- but this says more about him than about you, for you have been honest from the start.

Your Birthday for December 12, 2012

by Stella Wilder

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.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can bet that there is someone watching you from behind the scenes. Stay the course, and don't do anything out of character.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Practicality and idealism will each exert a strong influence over you today -- but you can find a way to combine both.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll find solace in a few of the simple things today, but don't let yourself forget there are some big things that must be done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can rely on your fans at this time -- but it's those who haven't yet made up their minds about you that you will want to address.

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.
