Born today, you want nothing more in life than to be allowed to go about your business in a peaceful manner, free of conflict and hardship. This is not something that is likely to come to you as a matter of course, however; ironically, this kind of peacful existence is something that you're going to have to fight for on at least two or three occasions during your lifetime!
When someone tells you "no," your first instinct is to say "yes" and carry on as you were -- but you are always better off to stop and think about the context and the reasons for that "no" so that you come to understand it and avoid it in the future. The peace you want, in other words, comes to you when you understand the world around you, the good and the bad, as fully as possible.
Also born on this date are: Frank Sinatra, singer and actor; Bob Barker, game show host; Jennifer Connelly, actress; Bill Nighy, actor; Connie Francis, singer; Cathy Rigby, gymnast and actress; Edvard Munch, painter.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 13
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're finding it hard to be enthusiastic about what lies ahead, and today's extra duties do not help the situation. This is only a phase.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Turn your back on another today and you'll surely pay for it -- not now, perhaps, but soon. Engage with others as creatively as you can!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Things may not "add up" as expected today, but you're able to maneuver in such a way that a truly negative development can be avoided.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Though you're trying to learn as much as possible from those around you, today your experience is likely to make all the difference.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Are you truly suffering physical symptoms, or is your mind playing tricks on you? You must be sure to ask all the right questions today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's a good day for homework, and you have plenty to do! What you learn about a loved one makes you question plans the family has made.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're nearing a turning point today, and you must be ready to make a decision on the run. You won't have time to consider all likelihoods.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You find the options available to you intriguing today, but none give you that initial thrill you're looking for -- at least not yet.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll receive help today from a surprising source -- but not everything that is done in your name will promote your cause at this time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your plans may not pan out as hoped today if only because you haven't taken into account the effect an uncooperative associate can have.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20--Feb. 18) -- Start slowly today and pick up speed gradually. Focus on the things that present themselves as expected -- but be ready for the unexpected.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are eager to see how someone's efforts play out today, as you're considering making a temporary change in your methods.
