Born today, you are likely to score a great many "firsts" in your lifetime, but many of these may not be the product of any focused effort on your part, but rather the result of timing, luck or accident. This doesn't mean that you will have little to take credit for in life; on the contrary, it's not what happens to you -- or around you -- that really matters, it's what you do as a result, and in that way you'll surely make your mark again and again, doing things no one has done before, and making memories and securing for yourself a lasting legacy as well.
Despite your willingness to work hard, you also know how to play hard, and you may well be the favorite companion of many people when it comes to parties and celebrations. You certainly do know how to live it up!
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.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take care you don't adopt a point of view that is so "correct" that you are unable to recognize the very real risks that currently surround you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone is likely to show some renewed interest in you and what you are doing these days. Does this mean anything? You should follow up!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The rules that guide others may not apply to you today -- at least not entirely. Still, you'll want to observe certain established boundaries.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can expect some sharp criticism today if you continue along your current course. There is much that you're not taking fully into account.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll find a way to express yourself openly today even though what you have to say may not be entirely positive. Choose your words with care!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may actually endanger yourself more today by doing all you can to protect yourself. This paradox is nothing new to an adviser.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have something up your sleeve today that can surely come in handy if you find yourself backed into a tough spot by a younger upstart.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The sooner you adopt a non-combative stance with someone who is spoiling for a fight, the sooner you will be free of a tough situation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are able to function well today even though others are having a tough time of it. You know very well what sets you apart.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can't expect to be given the "green light" for all that you want to do today, but some of your plans will receive wholehearted support.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be able to help someone chart the best possible course today -- provided that you speak in comprehensible terms, etc.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have received resistance recently, but it's likely to have evaporated by today. You're able to accomplish something meaningful.
