Your Birthday |

Born today, you are dedicated to doing your best, no matter what you choose to do. This is true whether you are engaged in personal difficulties, professional endeavors, recreational activities or anything else. The distinction between work and hobby is irrelevant to you; whatever you do, you do to the best of your ability. This is sure to win you a stellar reputation; others know that if they call on you to join forces with them, they will be getting the best! The only question will be your availability, for it is likely that many requests will be made of you on a daily basis. You are a superb teammate, as you always seem to know not only what needs to be done, but why -- and you will always work for the overall good of the group.

You aren't the kind to pin yourself down to a single line of work; you enjoy having the freedom to explore this avenue or that creative outlet, and you will often explore more than one at a time. Where multitaskers are valued, you are probably the most highly valued of all!

Also born on this date are: Jordin Sparks, singer; Ralph Fiennes, actor; Robin Gibb, singer; Maurice Gibb, singer; Diane Sawyer, journalist; Barbara Billingsley, actress; Charles de Lint, author; Hector Elizondo, actor; Gene Rayburn, game show host; Giacomo Puccini, composer; Connie Mack, baseball manager.

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.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may feel as though someone is trying to get closer to you than he or she should. Comfort and personal space are key issues.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There's little point to thinking further ahead than what is immediately pertinent. You must take care of one thing at a time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're seeking refuge, but you may not be looking in the right places. You'll find what you're after very close to home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have a clear idea of how things can be, but you face one or two key obstacles. Your instincts are keen, and can point the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be acting in a way that brings others closer together. Take care that you don't make any ill-advised decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Give yourself a little more time than usual to accomplish a routine endeavor, as not everything is likely to go your way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A message from afar has you thinking good thoughts about something that was, for a time, a bit of a muddle. You can straighten it out.

Born today, you are likely to make a name for yourself by doing precisely the kinds of things that you enjoy doing -- and nothing else. This is fortunate, for you never fare well when you are required to do anything that doesn't engage, interest, inspire or challenge you. Busywork is anathema to you; you would rather endure long periods of doing nothing at all than spend two or three minutes doing something that is unimportant or unsuited to your talents. You are confident, even cocky, and you are perfectly willing to try things others have been unable to do, knowing full well that to succeed you must beat the odds. You have a way of beating the odds more often than not!

You can be rather inward in your thinking, but this leads to tremendous insights that you can then share with others who are almost certain to benefit from your outlook and attitudes. You have the makings of a teacher, but the truth is that you may be too self-concerned to take teaching up as a profession.

Also born on this date are: Samuel L. Jackson, actor; Kiefer Sutherland, actor; Jane Fonda, actress; Frank Zappa, singer-songwriter and musician; Andy Dick, comedian; Florence Griffith Joyner, Olympic sprinter; Chris Evert, tennis player; Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister; Walter Hagen, golfer; Julie Delpy, actress.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may want to talk with a friend or family member about certain activities that are not altogether traditional. Objections will be few.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be playing cat-and-mouse with someone who is eager to engage you in a new way. But are you the cat or the mouse?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been moving a little more slowly than usual, but you'll be able to pick up the pace in order to address a friend's major concerns.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have a choice to make: Do you want to continue along the same course, not knowing what will come of it, or shift to a sure thing?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are looking forward to something quite enjoyable in the days to come. How you approach a family member's request will set the tone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are in the right place to satisfy the needs of a friend or loved one. The only question you have concerns the timing of your efforts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can get more done simply by doing what comes naturally than by trying to adopt another's methods. Stick to what you know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be overcomplicating things. A close look at your methods will reveal to you a new and simpler option.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can give someone special a little more attention. He or she may be surprised by the depth of your feelings!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It's a good day to put that certain plan into motion, but it may be tricky to keep someone from finding out what you're doing!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to put aside certain responsibilities for the time being and enjoy some social time with family and friends. Get the job done!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The pace may be faster today than you had expected, but you are well-equipped to deal with what transpires in your own inimitable fashion.

Born today, you know how to play it safe when you have to, in order to protect yourself and those in your care. You much prefer, however, to go after things in a more aggressive, proactive manner, risking more in the hopes of gaining more. That is much more your style, and the style that wins you success after success. You almost always know what is expected of you, and you are almost always willing and able to do more than that as you are driven to achieve more with each passing day. You're not the kind to rest on your laurels, by any means; you are much more likely to set your laurels aside, so that they don't get damaged as you strive for ever-greater personal success and achievement.

You are more than willing to listen to, and follow, the advice of others, but you also know how to go about things entirely on your own if no advice or guidance is to be expected. You know how to learn by doing, and you will always derive valuable lessons from those endeavors that don't pay off exactly as expected.

Also born on this date are: Jonah Hill, actor; Peter Criss, musician; George Roy Hill, filmmaker; Dick Wolf, TV producer; Harvey Firestone, tire mogul; Irene Dunne, actress; Jenny Agutter, actress; Branch Rickey, baseball manager and activist; Uri Geller, magician; John Hillerman, actor; John Spencer, actor; Aubrey Huff, baseball player.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Putting yourself in another's shoes will give you a valuable new perspective -- but not one you'll want to adopt as your own.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The encouragement you receive from someone who has "been there and done that" will prove invaluable, and you can improve on his work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're waiting for others to join you in your efforts. Before that happens, you must be willing to share your motives as well as your methods.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll benefit from an unusual and unexpected position. Where you find yourself will allow you to see things in a new way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're eager to show someone what you're made of. In the process, you are likely to surprise a loved one who has gotten used to your patterns.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be nowhere near your intended destination, but you have a feeling that things are looking up in a dramatic new way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Travel proves difficult to arrange, but in the midst of certain confusion, you should be able to keep very real hazards to a minimum.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're moving forward at a surprising pace. Others are eager to know what it is that inspires you, and they'll want you share it with them!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll have to work faster than usual to get things done according to the schedule you set for yourself. Use past work creatively.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You certainly don't want to be doing the same thing over and over. Free your mind and consider unusual options!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll want someone to check your facts; you know how to put forth your ideas creatively, but you're not always realistic.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The help you're seeking may not be available to you, so you'll probably have to charge ahead on your own -- at least temporarily.
