Your Birthday |

Born today, you are not the kind to retreat in the face of a challenge, and in fact you are known for charging ahead at some risk to yourself even when the odds are long and the opposition fierce. You are a creative individual, always thinking outside the box to come up with plans that will take your opponents by surprise; you know how to use the element of surprise to your advantage in almost all dealings, be they personal or professional. You are an inspiring individual; you know what to say to others to get the best out of them, even under the most difficult circumstances. Though you are a born leader, you can certainly roll up your sleeves and work alongside those you command. You are solid and down to earth.

You are at your best when your abilities are on full display and you can flex your muscles to get things done -- not because you enjoy being the center of attention, but because it makes you feel useful in mind, body and spirit. Indeed, being useful and achieving lasting results are most important to you.

Also born on this date are: Vanessa Hudgens, actress; Nostradamus, soothsayer; Patty Duke, actress; Spike Jones, bandleader; Charlie Rich, singer-songwriter; Shirley Jackson, author; Lee Remick, actress; Tycho Brahe, astronomer; Bill Buckner, baseball player; Jimmy Doolittle, pilot; Dee Wallace, actress.

Your Birthday for December 13, 2016

Born today, you are not what you seem to be to most casual observers, but those who know you well understand that you are a solid, capable, well-meaning, determined, hardworking individual who has been endowed with tremendous talent -- and the desire to make the most of it. So what is it that other people are missing? To them, you seem rather shallow at times, unable to make the transition from amateur to professional, but this is an unfair assessment that is certainly only the product of taste. You do have what it takes to propel yourself to the highest levels of professional accomplishment. In fact, you can be found working toward just those kinds of goals at all times, even from an early age.

You can be rather erratic, especially when a situation becomes emotional for you, and you may occasionally have trouble holding on to personal relationships. You can be too quick to anger when your passions are near the surface, and not everyone can deal with this aspect of your personality.

Also born on this date are: Taylor Swift, singer; Jamie Foxx, actor; Dick Van Dyke, actor; Richard Zanuck, film producer; Steve Buscemi, actor; Ted Nugent, guitarist; Christopher Plummer, actor; John Davidson, actor; Wendie Malick, actress; Mary Todd Lincoln, U.S. first lady; Carlos Montoya, guitarist; Ben Bernanke, economist.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be pleased with everything that is available to you, but one or two items will surely be more than you asked for.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can smooth the way for yourself and others by bending one or two rules just a little. Don't get overconfident, however!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may feel, at first, that you are ill-suited for the role you must play, but this is an error that will soon be made plain to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- How you see yourself makes a difference. You'll want to embrace and promote an image that is positive, strong and affable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- One at a time, in quick succession, you should be able to vanquish all foes, whether real or imagined. Today is a good day!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're being asked to do something that doesn't come easy to you, but you know how necessary it is. You'll surely come through.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You and a loved one have come to an impasse of sorts, and only your generosity and flexibility will allow things to become unstuck.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though you will likely be tending to many routine issues, there is something out of the ordinary going on as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Focus on what you have said in the past as you craft just the right thing to say in the present. Consistency and continuity are key.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll find it difficult to keep your opinions to yourself. As soon as you are invited to speak up, you'll express yourself clearly.

Born today, you are something of a schemer, but this should not be considered a liability in any sense, by you or anyone else. All it means is that you are always working on some plan or other that will serve you in your professional endeavors, personal life or domestic affairs. You have a knack for seeing into the hearts and minds of those around you. Not only does this enable you to anticipate what might happen, but it also lets you plan for all manner of contingencies that others may not be able to forecast. It is this ability that you must always use for good; if you let yourself go into the darker places and use it toward any Machiavellian purpose, you will only make lasting trouble for yourself and others. Try to further the common good at all times!

You have a way of going about your business that seems easy and carefree, but the fact is that you work very hard to achieve this appearance of effortlessness. You don't let others see you sweat, but you surely do put yourself through your paces when you are striving to be the best that you can be.

Also born on this date are: Frank Sinatra, singer and actor; Bob Barker, game show host; Jennifer Connelly, actress; Regina Hall, actress; Bill Nighy, actor; Connie Francis, singer; Cathy Rigby, gymnast; Edvard Munch, painter; Ed Koch, New York City mayor; Edward G. Robinson, actor; Mayim Bialik, actress; Dionne Warwick, singer.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Practice isn't likely to make perfect right away, but it will surely give you the confidence to keep working toward a certain key goal.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can feel a funk coming on, so you'll want to begin fighting it as soon as possible. This may take a heavy toll for some time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have trouble explaining yourself to someone who is clearly on your side. You don't have to be crystal clear -- just honest.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The halfway point may seem like an important landmark, but in fact it is misleading: You have far more left to do than you realize.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Surrender the right of way to one who is acting carelessly, and you'll avoid a collision that could cost you a lot of time, money and worry.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can see that someone is reaching out to lend a hand, but you may not be ready for what is specifically being offered.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to risk intruding on another in order to join forces with someone who can really bolster your game at a critical juncture.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can capitalize on someone's minor error, but don't gloat! Indeed, your best course is to encourage and instruct.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Making up your mind may not be the easiest thing to do, but you recognize that it must be done. A loved one is waiting on you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have trouble separating certain central issues so that you can tackle them one at a time. A calm approach is the key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be trying to do something difficult that no one before you has ever attempted, but your creativity increases the odds.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may find yourself waiting for someone to deliver certain information or materials so you can get started on an important project.
