Your Birthday for December 07, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 7th, 2015

Born today, you have a keen sense of prevailing conditions, both good and bad, and you are able to adjust your behavior to suit whatever situation you may find yourself in at any given time. Some may say that you are not trustworthy for this very reason, because they assume you are being insincere when you are able to behave one way at this moment and another the next, but the fact is that you never do or say anything that is out of character. You simply let certain aspects of your personality shine more brightly than others when necessary, depending on the circumstances. You are sensitive of others' moods and attitudes, and you can quickly and accurately sum up what a person is feeling. This comes in handy when it is time for conflict resolution.

Your emotions are often locked deep within a vault carefully constructed to protect yourself and others from passions that are in fact quite volatile. When you do release them, it is best that you do so in service of productivity, and apply them to work that benefits others as well as yourself.

Also born on this date are: C. Thomas Howell, actor; Larry Bird, basketball player; Tom Waits, singer and actor; Johnny Bench, baseball player; Ellen Burstyn, actress; Ted Knight, actor; Eli Wallach, actor; Louis Prima, musician and singer.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not understand what motivates someone else. You must focus more on what drives you, not others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may feel as though someone is walking all over you, and the truth is that you're letting them take advantage of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have a few regrets that are hard to shake. Give yourself credit for the things you've done right, and take it from there.

Your Birthday for December 06, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 6th, 2015

Born today, you have been endowed with several unusual gifts, the most dominant of which is an ability to see things from a unique perspective. Because of this, you are never likely to say anything that is expected in any given situation -- or do what is expected, for that matter. You are not a cynic, but you are able to see the dark side of situations in a way that is perhaps more matter of fact than the outlook of anyone else born under your sign. You seem to know what makes other people tick, and you use this to your advantage without seeming to take advantage of anyone.

You are not always easy to approach, and you are often much more difficult to get to know than others who share your viewpoints and abilities. You are private, yes, and you are also somewhat solitary. This is not to say that you do not or cannot get along with others; you do, you can and you always will.

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

MONDAY, DECEMBER 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're not likely to agree with those around you when it comes to assessing opportunity and danger. You're more daring than many.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You aren't likely to be anxious or nervous, despite what is on the line for you and those who have joined forces with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will want to leave things the way they are so that you can work with what you know best. You'll have a little wiggle room.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You aren't willing to give in to pressure from afar. Focus on doing things your way and using all resources at your disposal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What goes on around you is worth noticing, but take care that you aren't distracted by something that is clearly not for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't always understand what those around you are up to, but today you're certain to know just what is going on, and why.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Control is the issue, and you're not likely to relinquish it for any reason. You're eager to see how this situation develops.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's a good day for taking chances, but not with something that cannot be reclaimed if it is lost. Avoid anything that is negative and permanent.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can afford to take things a little more slowly than usual. The deadline you are facing can be met even if you play it safe.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to jump in without much preparation in order to back up someone who is not operating at 100 percent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're in need of a little more protection than usual. Others are aware of your plans, and they can certainly give you what you need.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are eager to come up with a better way to achieve something that seems routine to others. To you, it is rare and essential.

Your Birthday for December 05, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 5th, 2015

Born today, you are a highly creative individual, but you are not always an outgoing, churning bundle of energy. Often, you prefer your own company, and you will go about your business in a quiet, reserved, introspective way. Even when you are communicating with others, you do so in a manner that invites them to come to you, rather than in a style that reaches out aggressively. You can often be found deep in thought, and virtually anything is worthy of deep thought as far as you are concerned. You may indeed spend a great deal of time and energy contemplating matters others might label trivial or ridiculous.

Despite your usually quiet demeanor, you do harbor certain passions that, when excited, can set you off like a Roman candle. Usually, these have to do with issues that everyone recognizes as important, though few feel quite as strongly about them as you do.

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

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you have to do today cannot be done tomorrow, though it was not even thought of just yesterday. This is an important opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not appreciate another's efforts to slow you down. His or her reasons don't matter much; you mustn't let yourself be trapped.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Only a fraction of what you have planned can actually be accomplished. There is only so much time, and only so many chances to excel.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be introduced to those who may soon become big fans. What appears easy to you at first may surprise you with its complexity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're in the lead, but this mustn't go to your head. A rivalry heats up, and you must remember to take your work seriously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your own style can shine brightly, though you will want to take care not to overshadow someone who shares the stage with you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your prospects are on the rise, and you're excited about something that lies just ahead. Before you get there, take time to review your status.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Now is the time to deepen your involvement with someone who is so full of good ideas that you cannot imagine not collaborating in some way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are doing things in a more exciting way, and much of this has to do with increased versatility. You're comfortable, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have been trying to analyze past mistakes a bit too much, perhaps. Instead, focus on what lies ahead and how you can tackle it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will inspire someone to follow in your footsteps. When you see this, you may suggest something more like collaboration.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Regardless of what you contribute, you'll be appreciated for who you are and what you do -- and remembered, too, perhaps.
