Born today, you are a highly creative individual, but this doesn't keep you from approaching life from a realistic and pragmatic point of view. Indeed, you are willing to part with anything if it doesn't fit your down-to-earth approach. Nothing is more important to you than accomplishment, and yours is always the result of a careful negotiation between what is and what may be.
You are constantly reflecting upon yourself and your place in the worldwide scheme of things, and you are more than willing to judge yourself harshly for mistakes and misjudgments you may make. This is all well and good -- provided, of course, you learn from those mistakes and allow your own self-judgment to lead to self-improvement!
Also born on this date are: Taylor Swift, singer; Jamie Foxx, actor; Dick Van Dyke, actor; Richard Zanuck, film producer; Steve Buscemi, actor; Wendie Malick, actress; Mary Todd Lincoln, U.S. first lady; Carlos Montoya, guitarist.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll encounter someone who is able to introduce you to something new -- and your interest will surely be piqued. An investment is required.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll have a choice to make today, whether or not you like it, and no one will be in a position to help you. Your instincts serve you well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are proud of someone who has traced your path in lockstep. Now it may be time for you to go your own ways -- at least for a while.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your easygoing manner may be put to the test today when someone accuses you of something you had nothing to do with. You know the truth.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Doing what you are told may be the path of least resistance today, but it's not what your heart is telling you to do. Assert your independence!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You've enjoyed a good deal of success lately, and your few failures have receded into memory. Today, a tricky cycle is likely to start again.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You feel strongly about something that a friend is ignoring or discounting, and this is surely worth talking about before a rift develops.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must avoid being defensive today at all costs. No one is accusing you of anything, but you must be genuine and play by the rules.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may repeat a past mistake today, but no one is likely to hold it against you, as they know well what you're going through.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- No matter how dedicated you may be, things just haven't aligned in a way that favors accomplishment today. Be patient with yourself!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You've got something on your mind that isn't going to go away until you share it with someone -- and you know it can't be just anyone!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A combination of thought and feeling leads you to a conclusion today that at once surprises you and fulfills your expectations as well.
