Your Birthday for December 03, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 3rd, 2013

Born today, you are always willing to play second or even third fiddle because your contentment rests not with being the most visible or important contributor to an endeavor, but with the act of contributing itself. To take part and lend your talents in any way to a worthy endeavor is never a waste of your time or a challenge to your sense of identity or worth. You are a patient person overall, and you know that if you bide your time and take advantage of opportunities as they arise, you will be able to climb the ladder of success and eventually play a starring role -- if, indeed, that is something to which you aspire in the first place.

You are well-liked and widely admired, and those around you are likely to think you are far more interesting than you do! Indeed, there may be times when you are quite a hot topic of discussion among those who know you even casually -- and this always makes you shake your head in pleasant disbelief.

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.

Your Birthday for December 02, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 2nd, 2013

Born today, you are willing to do what is necessary to see your dreams come true, but there may be times when you are perhaps too fearless, or even careless, and as a result, you bring upon yourself a great deal of hardship and angst from which recovery may prove long and arduous. You can surprise even your harshest critics, however, by demonstrating both your prowess and your tenacity in making one comeback after another -- professionally, at least. You have one or two special talents of which you will be aware at an early age, and you will be quite ambitious as a youngster, though perhaps unaware of the dangers that you face as you make your way.

When it comes to your personal affairs, you may not fare as well, for you are destined for at least two very difficult periods marked by heartbreak and bouts of self-doubt that threaten to poison your every endeavor, private and public. Still, that native tenacity can serve you well and see you through.

Also born on this date are: Britney Spears, singer; Nelly Furtado, singer; Monica Seles, tennis player; Lucy Liu, actress; Cathy Lee Crosby, TV personality; Gianni Versace, fashion designer; Maria Callas, operatic soprano; Charles Ringling, circus mogul; Georges Seurat, painter.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is such a thing as too much of a good thing; today, overindulgence is not advised. Indulge in moderation!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Something that appears out of the blue is likely to stay with you for quite a while. You're ready for the changes it will surely bring.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not feel that you're the right person for the job, but you can prove to yourself and others, by day's end, that you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're going to want to stay in touch with someone who is no longer a part of the main picture; you'll want what he or she can still offer!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll be in charge of those who are eager to learn what you have to teach, but you may go about it in an unorthodox manner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are betting that things will remain stable and certain when, in fact, there is a certain level of instability you must deal with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- One down, how many more to go? You'll want to keep moving in the same direction, maintaining a high level of productivity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your thoughts may take you back to a time that was very special to you -- more than once, perhaps. Touch base with an old friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may experience something of a stop-and-start day -- again and again. Be persistent, and you can have what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan 19) -- Everyone is on your side, rooting for you. Don't let your own self-doubts keep you from doing what you will most enjoy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What is meant as a joke may be misinterpreted, resulting in unneeded tension that is more difficult to ease than you might think.

Your Birthday for December 01, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 1st, 2013

Born today, you are one of those quick and facile individuals able to adjust to changing circumstances seemingly at the drop of a hat, but this ability is not necessarily one you were born with. On the contrary, you are likely to work hard throughout your lifetime to hone your awareness and your sense of propriety so that you can alter your behavior -- or even reinvent yourself entirely -- when the winds of change blow your way. You are drawn to the old-fashioned, and those who are most attractive to you are those who seem somehow dated in thought, manner and even dress. You have a knack for endeavors that require you to think quickly and creatively.

Never one to leave something undone, you are known for doing more in the time allowed than most others -- simply because you refuse to put away your tools and turn to something else until you have completed the task in a manner that satisfies your rather strict standards.

Also born on this date are: Mary Martin, actress; Bette Midler, singer and actress; Richard Pryor, comedian and actor; Lou Rawls, singer; Woody Allen, actor, writer, director, comedian; Lee Trevino, golfer; Aiko, Princess Toshi of Japan.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You and a rival have a great many common interests besides the one that defines your relationship. It's time to consider alternatives.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been instructed to take things as far as you possibly can, but today may not be the day. The timing must be entirely your own.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Guarantees may be in short supply, but your confidence will see you through even the most uncertain of situations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do you really know what you are getting into at this time? And do you really know where you are headed as a result? Get some answers!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to provide what someone else cannot. As a result, your reputation may well receive an important boost.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in the mood to let certain responsibilities go untended to, but you also know there will be a price to pay. You can achieve a balance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The lay of the land will mean a great deal to you. You must be sure to perform a trial run before putting your plans into motion.
