Born today, you are likely to burst upon the scene in a way that makes it impossible for you to be overlooked -- or forgotten -- no matter how much time may pass. You are just the kind of person for whom destiny is a true and real thing; you were born to succeed -- now you must decide what it is you were meant to do to enjoy the success the stars have waiting for you. That decision may not be yours to make, but it may be made for you by someone who spots in you some remarkable talents and who drives you in a certain direction without your complete knowledge or understanding. This can prove disastrous if you do not at some point "sign on" wholeheartedly; if you do, however, you are likely to find that the world will be your oyster -- sooner or later.
You will no doubt learn very quickly how to take advantage of backdoor channels to get what you want -- but that's not the route you should take as a matter of course! Only when you feel that you have been backed into a corner must you employ any methods that are not completely aboveboard.
Also born on this date are: Tia Carrere, actress; Cuba Gooding Jr., actor; Taye Diggs, actor; Kate Bosworth, actress; Isaac Asimov, science-fiction author; Paz Vega, actress; Jack Hanna, zookeeper and animal expert; Jim Bakker, televangelist; Wendy Phillips, actress; Todd Haynes, filmmaker.
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.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are able to promote yourself and your ideas more effectively today than you have in the recent past. What is different -- and why?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll be asking questions that others cannot answer today, so you must be ready to investigate. Leave no stone unturned!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your hunt for a certain piece of information may lead you into an uncomfortable situation today, but you can't afford to let up in any way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone has made decisions recently that have major repercussions for many, and today you must let him or her know just how you are affected.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is a good time for you to ask for something that you would not normally ask for because of your sense of propriety. Don't be shy!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have every reason to go to someone in authority and let it be known that you have not been treated fairly, but what can come of it if you do?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A new partnership may be forged today as you discover that a friend shares much of your ambition as well as ability. Can this work?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are more capable of doing what others cannot than ever before -- provided you stick to a line of endeavor that is familiar to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to turn away from creature comforts today and immerse yourself in a situation that deprives you of much. This is temporary.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Environmental influences will be felt all day long, and may cause you to do things in a way that is unrecognizable to those who know you well.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your creative energies can be applied to a project that may not, at first, seem all that creative. That can change in the blink of an eye.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are expecting things to transpire very much as planned today, and so they will -- except for one thing that takes you very much by surprise.
