Your Birthday for December 25, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 25th, 2020

Born today, you are quite fond of exploration of all kinds, and you can often be found sticking your nose into all manner of things that attract only you. You are fascinated by the ways of the world -- both physically and spiritually. You want to know what makes the world turn, but you also crave knowledge about the inner workings of your fellow man -- and that requires a willingness to learn a great deal about yourself.

You may not have a scientific bent -- and that is likely to surprise those who know you best. Still, you will put your curiosity about the world to good use in any one of a variety of possible ways -- for like the scientist, the artist thrives on asking and answering questions about life and all it has to offer. Your best friends are those who understand that you are always asking questions.

Also born on this date are: Jimmy Buffett, singer and songwriter; Humphrey Bogart, actor; Annie Lennox, singer; Clara Barton, nurse and founder of the Red Cross; Rod Serling, screenwriter and director; Sissy Spacek, actress.

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.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Are you seriously thinking of breaking the rules today? Think twice, for you're likely to uncover some serious dangers if you do!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Availability may be the primary issue today. Are you wasting your time going after something that is simply not available right now?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may feel somehow distanced from those who are at the center of things today. Is this a product of your perspective or your approach?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone close to you will be saying, "Show me!" at some point, but you mustn't reveal more than you are ready to, lest you endanger yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may encounter one or two new things today that are difficult for you to process. Take your time, and don't make any rash judgments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are perfectly positioned today to interpret what happens around you in a way that adds greatly to your overall experience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Form and function can combine quite well today -- but you must be willing to let things develop organically and not force any issues.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What you know today can be added to what you learn tomorrow -- and can prove quite valuable to you retroactively. You must be flexible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must take precautions today if you're going to avoid the kind of traps that others around you are falling into regularly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You want a little more than someone is making readily available. Try thinking through a more effective approach; be ready to negotiate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The instruction you get today may not be enough to ready you for what you are facing -- but experience serves you well.

Your Birthday for December 24, 2020

Your Birthday | December 24th, 2020

Born today, you are likely to live a life of tremendous activity and adventure, and this suits you perfectly, for you are an adventurous soul if ever there was one! It's not so much that you want to do things that are dangerous, but rather those things that are in some way outside the realm of daily practice; in other words, you like doing things that most people don't do! You have a knack for learning new skills quickly, and even after only one or two tries, you can look like an expert doing something that is new to you.

This kind of imaginative process serves you well not only in your professional life but also in your personal affairs -- which are often marked by ups and downs the like of which most people would find quite upsetting.

Also born on this date are: Ryan Seacrest, TV personality; Ricky Martin, singer and actor; Ava Gardner, actress; Howard Hughes, aviation pioneer and movie producer; Kit Carson, trailblazer; Mary Higgins Clark, author; Georges Guynemer, French World War I pilot; Michael Curtiz, film director.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone catches up to you today and forces you to rethink your approach. Something you're doing is slowing you down, surely.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Correct others today and you're likely to be corrected yourself. It's all in the way it's done -- and you must adopt a gentler approach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you're waiting for the "right moment" today, then you're not likely to have to wait long, for today the opportunity may well materialize.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's the little things that will get in your way today -- or propel you to victory. One reality or another will prevail; you may not have a choice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The moment you think you've become indispensable is the moment someone may try to dispense with anything you have to offer. Don't get cocky!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are likely to succeed today because you recognize one simple reality that is being overlooked by the competition. Stay the course!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Don't be so quick to pass judgment on someone that you are unable to change your mind when conflicting evidence is made available. Be objective!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are open to all manner of suggestions today, but once you have made up your mind, you're not going to want to consider any alternatives.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your approach to the day's events may differ from the one adopted by a friend or family member, but this conflict is sure to be short-lived.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're likely to get a better view of something that has been recently obscured. Your reaction sets off a chain of unusual events.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may feel like nothing is working out the way you had planned -- but you're being impatient. Today's events start painting a clear picture.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's time for you to adopt a more sensitive attitude when it comes to an old friend's prejudices. You have a few of your own, you must admit!

Your Birthday for December 23, 2020

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 23rd, 2020

Born today, you have one of the most powerful and memorable personalities born under your sign. This doesn't mean that you are aggressive, defensive or combative in any way, however; on the contrary, you balance your vibrant character with an easygoing manner and a willingness to let bygones be bygones whenever possible. You are closely tied to tradition and heritage, but you are also eager to push the envelope and see if you can do things in a way that brings innovation into your life and the lives of those by your side.

You are hardworking and capable, but you are also lucky -- and this is likely to be most evident whenever you are called upon to do something that is not in your comfort zone. By trusting in the stars -- and your own natural abilities -- you are able to make the best of situations that require you to do what you wouldn't normally do.

Also born on this date are: Eddie Vedder, musician and singer; Corey Haim, actor; Jim Harbaugh, football player and coach; Susan Lucci, actress; Joseph Smith, author and founder of the Church of Mormon; Anthony Phillips, musician.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others may consider a certain issue important enough to examine at length today, but you feel that your focus, anyway, should be elsewhere.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The more you review certain facts today, the more likely you will be to arrive at the same conclusion you reached originally. What's changed?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're tempted to skip the preliminaries and get right to the heart of the matter, but this would be a mistake today. Start at the beginning!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone far from home is trying to get in touch with you. This has you wondering what else you may be missing by keeping your distance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A friend is eager to reestablish some kind of meaningful interaction with you after a long period spent apart. Is it really worth it?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be contacted by those who are eager for you to take the blame for something that was unavoidable -- but you mustn't take the bait.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may stumble upon something that makes sense of a long-standing mystery. Now that you've figured it out, you can set it aside for good!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Now is not the time to join forces with someone who simply wishes to upset the status quo. This would be a waste of time and energy!
