Your Birthday for January 05, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 5th, 2016

Born today, you are something of a powerhouse. Others are sure to hold you in high esteem at all times, no matter what phase of accomplishment you may be in at any given moment. You are sure to be widely admired by those who share your outlook and aspirations, but more important than that is the fact that you are admired by those quite different from yourself -- for your upstanding nature, your ability to commit yourself in an unwavering fashion and your sense of right and wrong. You are a strong-willed individual, always able to go the distance when asked to do so, regardless of what lies in your way. You face any and all obstacles with a kind of quiet confidence that borders on stoicism, but you are never devoid of feeling!

You may never be a star, but your work will surely be recognized by stars as essential to their own success -- for your work behind the scenes is always exceptional, noteworthy and necessary. Should you break out and enjoy fame and fortune, you will remain a conscientious individual and a dedicated, hard worker.

Also born on this date are: Diane Keaton, actress; Suzy Amis, actress; Pamela Sue Martin, actress; Jean Dixon, psychic; Marilyn Manson, singer; Juan Carlos, former king of Spain; Walter Mondale, politician; Zebulon Pike, explorer; Bradley Cooper, actor; January Jones, actress.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be rattled temporarily when you learn about a decision a family member has made in your absence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your judgment of someone in your care may differ dramatically from that of someone else who is more "in the know" -- but who's right?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care not to let everyone know what you're thinking until you're ready to back up your thoughts with effective action.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're in the mood to treat yourself to something special, but perhaps you feel you can't afford it. Money isn't the primary issue.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can share much with a friend, and he or she with you. Your bond tightens, but more than that will happen by day's end.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be the underdog, but that doesn't mean you can't come out on top. Today, you have a secret weapon you can unveil.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can do something really big while others are watching. They'll be impressed -- and you'll be satisfied with your performance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- When it comes time to swing into action, you should be more than ready. Someone close to you has a feeling you'll come out on top.

Your Birthday for January 04, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 4th, 2016

Born today, you have a unique way of looking at the world, a habit that is likely to lead you to the door of opportunity and achievement again and again throughout your life. This suggests that your personality and character are the greatest contributors to your eventual success. Indeed, that is very much the case, though you do have a great deal of natural talent -- and you can also credit good luck when examining the trajectory of your life. Personality, talent and luck -- these are yours, surely, but there is something else that sets you apart: a willingness to explore what has never been explored, to do what has never been done and to go where few others have ever gone. It is your quest for the new that drives you!

You know how to make the impossible possible. For this reason, others are likely to flock to you in times of trouble, hungry for solutions to their problems. You cannot do everything, however, and even you must sometimes admit that certain things are truly impossible and beyond your considerable grasp.

Also born on this date are: Louis Braille, inventor; Sterling Holloway, actor; Don Shula, football coach; Michael Stipe, singer; Dyan Cannon, actress; Patty Loveless, singer; Julia Ormond, actress; Dave Foley, actor and comedian; Augustus John, artist; Dot Jones, actress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're eager to learn about the options you will soon be faced with, but take care not to tip your hand to a competitor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may receive an offer that has you considering making a dramatic change in your professional trajectory. Take time and be rational.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be adversely affected by something that had no real impact on you only yesterday. A friend comes to the rescue.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is the time to put into motion a plan you've been working on for quite a while. You have the support you need, surely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A decision you make on the fly will resonate long after other events of the day are forgotten -- and yours won't be the only one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not be able to keep a certain promise, no matter how hard you try. Circumstances are simply not cooperating as you had hoped.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You want to make contact with those who have shown you support in the past. Someone makes an offer that surprises you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will have a sense of inevitability throughout much of the day, but what is coming may be a mystery to you until it actually arrives.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- There's no need to hurry; what you intend to do can be done at a pace that is calm, controlled and unvarying.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to learn just what a rival is capable of, and today's the day. What you do in response will set the tone for the coming week.

Your Birthday for January 03, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 3rd, 2016

Born today, you are quite good at overcoming all manner of adversity. This may stem from a childhood fraught with danger and disappointment, or it could come from the fact that everything went so well when you were young that you were endowed with tremendous confidence. Either way, the result has been the ability to face challenges with strength, fortitude and even eagerness. You can be fiercely competitive, and you will always work hard to see that you prevail, even in the face of the most formidable adversary or odds that are stacked against you. Others may think you are going to lose, but you never think that losing is an option. You're out to win -- and win you will.

You have a vivid sense of humor, which borders on the unusual and the controversial. Indeed, this sense of humor is not shared by many, but it is appreciated by most who encounter you. Being able to laugh, and laugh heartily, at even the most unfortunate of circumstances can certainly see you through when things get tough.

Also born on this date are: Eli Manning, football player; Mel Gibson, actor and director; J.R.R. Tolkien, author; Victoria Principal, actress; Bobby Hull, hockey player; George Martin, music producer; Stephen Stills, singer-songwriter; Victor Borge, pianist and comedian; Robert Loggia, actor and director; Dabney Coleman, actor; Sergio Leone, director; Ray Milland, actor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You seem to be doing the very things that keep getting you into trouble. You'll soon have a chance to break the cycle once and for all.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There's no reason for you to put up with the same kind of ill treatment that you've endured in the past. You can put your foot down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have the chance to assert yourself in a new way, but take care that you're not trying to do anything out of character.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find certain developments rather mysterious until you remember something you did a while back that laid the groundwork.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Focus on doing things that help others. You may have to take a back seat to someone who is in greater need, and you'll do so quite willingly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have it within your power to give someone all he or she needs, but you may not choose to do so right now for a very good personal reason.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can show off a bit of your business acumen, but remember that it's quite specialized, and not everyone may appreciate it!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Give yourself a chance! You've been acting as though you are not in a position to achieve much, but this is a mistaken notion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've got what it takes to come through for someone else -- all you have to do is a little bit of private preparation before show time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are waiting for news from a friend or loved one. Without it, you may not be able to move forward in any measurable fashion.
