Your Birthday for December 05, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 5th, 2018

Born today, you are quite upbeat and likable, but there is something of a shadow that lurks just beneath your affable exterior. Your life is likely to progress according to alternating phases of happiness and productivity, and depression and stagnation -- but, fortunately, you will always know when one phase is about to give way to another. You needn't suffer as a result of your moodiness; you can actually make it work for you if you take the time to learn as much about yourself as you possibly can. You prefer to work as a member of a close-knit team that shares responsibilities and communicates openly and honestly.

You are largely practical, but you can indulge in flights of fancy now and then -- it is likely that one or two may result in the kinds of ideas that can make your life a big success! You know how to turn a dream into a reality, and you understand that even slow progress can get you where you want to go.

Also born on this date are: Joan Didion, author; Margaret Cho, comedian; Carrie Hamilton, actress; Walt Disney, animator; Jim Messina, singer and songwriter; Little Richard, rocker; Fritz Lang, filmmaker.

Your Birthday for December 04, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 4th, 2018

Born today, you are one of the upstanding and outstanding examples of the Sagittarius native -- dignified, charming and always ready with a wise turn of phrase or a word of comfort for someone in need. Indeed, your care for those around you is perhaps your most marked trait; you will always do what you can to lift others up, rather than tear them down. You treat everyone with a kind of fairness and equality that is rare indeed. You can, at times, overlook the obvious in favor of that which is harder to discern, and this can make things difficult for you!

You can be rather vain and self-important at times, and when it comes to work you almost always assess yourself highly; you're never one to feel that you are ill-equipped to do what lies before you. Occasionally, you will find yourself overshadowed by someone who is all you want to be. Pay attention and learn, for you can always improve yourself!

Also born on this date are: Tyra Banks, model; Marisa Tomei, actress; Wink Martindale, game show host; Jay Z, rapper; Rainer Maria Rilke, poet; Jeff Bridges, actor.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are precisely where you should be right now, whether it feels that way or not. What someone tells you needn't knock you off center.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have something up your sleeve right now that can certainly come in handy if things start to go wrong. Don't tip your hand, however!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your focus may be rather unclear for a time today, until you have rid yourself of distractions that are competing for your attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself somewhere quite unusual before the day is out, but your state of mind is sound, and you can surely cope quite well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It may take you some time to get up to speed today, but once you do, you'll be squarely in the race. A competitor pushes you to be your best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's a good day for you to consider what might happen if things don't come out the way you had planned. All options are open to you right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your day is likely to be divided into three distinct phases, though not everyone will appreciate how flexible you must be as a result.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not get all you feel you have coming to you, but by day's end you should be better off than you were in the morning. Share the wealth.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone you know well is likely to surprise you with a decision -- but it's one that you know will work out well in the end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will want to keep track of things as they develop today -- without getting in the way and influencing events one way or another.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're feeling ill at ease about something that is usually quite routine. You can make a small change that will have a big effect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be asking yourself some important questions at this time, but today the answers are likely to open your eyes to a new opportunity.

Your Birthday for December 03, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 3rd, 2018

Born today, you are a generally optimistic individual and are determined to have a positive impact on the world in which you live. Whether your contribution is large or small, it is likely that it will be remembered, and you will be credited for making a difference. You can be charming and courteous, and yet you can turn a cold shoulder toward those who do not give you the time of day; you want to be acknowledged! You can be quite a good conversationalist, and in fact when you get going it can be quite difficult for anyone to get you to stop. You can immerse yourself in specific issues, but you prefer to consider the "bigger picture" that affects the most people.

There are those who may think you are not cut out for the big challenges that life may throw at you, but this is an unfair assessment. The truth is that you are not one to be thrown into disarray by bad luck; you will calmly face almost any turn of fortune -- and you do what you can to help others do the same. You're never overly dramatic about things.

Also born on this date are: Holly Marie Combs, actress; Daryl Hannah, actress; Julianne Moore, actress; Ozzy Osbourne, rocker; Andy Williams, singer; Bobby Allison, auto racer.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may lose your bearings for a time today, and you must trust a friend to help you reorient yourself. You can return the favor very soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A chance encounter proves entertaining to some degree today, but you'll still be left with something undone -- or unsaid, perhaps. Tend to it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to repeat yourself in order to be understood fully today. Your audience may not be used to having you take command.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can combine the mental and the physical with great success today, as you tackle something that requires more conscious effort than usual.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll benefit from more time to yourself today as you let someone else take charge of something that is usually up to you. Explore options.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will want to make yourself available to those who may have questions, but you must stop short of stepping in and doing what they must do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may still be waiting for information that can prove instrumental to you as you attempt something others are not able to do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your safety depends on doing things according to the rules today. You can bend them only so far before the authorities will take notice.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What you see or feel in front of you today is in line with what you've expected, but there are still a few surprises in store.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not have as much time available to you today as you had counted on, so you must increase efficiency as you tend to routine business.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's a good day to let someone else take charge, if only temporarily. You can learn a thing or two about how to run things.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can fill in the blanks today by employing your imagination to the fullest, especially in situations that take you by surprise.
