Born today, you often take a stance that could easily be characterized as "defiant," and, as a result, you'll earn a reputation as a fighter -- though not always, of course, for the right reasons. You have keen instincts and the will to succeed, but you can also derail yourself at times because you are so quick to position yourself in favor of certain ideas and ideals and against others -- and that kind of philosophical maneuvering is not always going to help you in your everyday pursuit of excellence and achievement.
In one area of your life, you are almost always ready to give others what they want -- and that's in your personal affairs. Loved ones and family members are your favored and favorite people, and you will do all you can to see that they have what they want -- even if it means you must give up, give in or simply give of yourself in some way.
Also born on this date are: Denzel Washington, actor; Dame Maggie Smith, actress; John Legend, singer; Seth Meyers, actor and comic; Woodrow Wilson, U.S. president; Sienna Miller, actress; Nichelle Nichols, actress; Martin Milner, actor; Earl Hines, jazz musician.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your expectations may not be perfectly aligned with those of people in the same situation, but you have a uniquely valuable perspective.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have more than one decision to make today, and you are better off doing so before anyone gets involved in the process. Don't delay.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're not even finished with part one and part two is already underway! You're going to have to work hard to get everything lined up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's absolutely essential that you do what you say you'll do today. There's no room to negotiate or to decide that something needn't be done.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have a little wiggle room today, which will allow you to come up with a satisfactory answer to a difficult personal question.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Why do any guessing today when you can have accurate, updated facts and figures delivered directly to you? The new way is the best way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are not eager to deal with someone in an "official" capacity today, even though the two of you get on very well together outside of work.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must take the feelings of others into account today as you take steps to further your agenda. Remember, you don't operate in a vacuum.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to do a little homework today in order to wrap your head around some of the revisions to plans recently made by superiors.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll have to play a numbers game today in order to be competitive with those who have all the facts and figures at their fingertips.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Once you start something today, you'll want to complete it -- and it's possible for you to do so ahead of schedule and under budget as well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps today in order to stay in the game. You'll impress others even if you don't win.
