Born today, you seem to have a great deal in common with those who are difficult to understand and downright impossible to categorize or "pigeonhole," and that is likely because you are also similarly difficult: mercurial, impulsive, inconsistent and even sometimes unreliable -- at least over the short term. When you have promised something, however, you are sure to do it -- but you will do it on your own time and not necessarily when it was originally agreed upon that you would deliver.
You can be quite emotional about the simplest and most routine of things, and you cry very easily if you are triggered in just the right way. You do not always seem like someone who wears their heart on their sleeve, but there it is, most days, for all the world to see -- and, if you're not careful, to take advantage of and misuse.
Also born on this date are: Alyssa Milano, actress; Jake Gyllenhaal, actor; Criss Angel, illusionist; Jennifer Beals, actress; Cicely Tyson, actress; Tim Reid, actor; Edith Piaf, French singer; Robert Urich, actor; Sir Ralph Richardson, actor.
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.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 20
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may find yourself waiting for someone who doesn't really know that they're part of a system. Patience is a virtue today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're tempted to bend the rules a bit and see how far you can take something before you get caught. Know that perceived risks are very real!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're making progress at this time, but you mustn't require yourself to fit into any preconceived "boxes." Let things develop organically.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have been disappointed when your recent efforts didn't pay off as planned -- but today you may get what you hoped for!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been depriving yourself of something very important of late, but today you can free yourself of any such restrictions. Enjoy all you can!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Criticism is likely to come your way today but you needn't take it to heart, as it's likely the result of a misunderstanding. Stay on course.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Convincing another that you're doing what's right is likely to be more difficult than expected today. Consider an alternate point of view.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may not understand what a certain message is really trying to communicate today, but risks are few and options abound at this time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The more you are ready to do today, the more you'll get done -- which makes sense, until a certain surprise throws a wrench in the works.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A last-minute change has you doing less of one thing and more of another today, which you can almost certainly make work to your advantage.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're in the mood to express yourself as fully as possible today -- and when you do, you should have plenty of people to talk to, as well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your creative energies are not to be ignored today. Focus on those things that seem somewhat amorphous, and apply your energies there for now.
