Born today, you will have a notion, even at a very early age, that something is calling to you, beckoning, pulling you toward something that could very well result in the kind of greatness that is long remembered after one's time on Earth has come to an end. Indeed, you'll pursue achievement with the kind of single-minded drive that can make your dreams of greatness come true.
Though you may spend a great deal of time in the spotlight, you are always keenly aware of what goes on behind the scenes -- and you are often eager to explore that world of back-room dealings. You do so at your peril, however, for you are thumpingly forthright and don't always mix well with those who negotiate for a living.
Also born on this date are: LeBron James, basketball player; Tyrese Gibson, singer; Davy Jones, singer and actor; Meredith Vieira, TV host; Rudyard Kipling, author and poet; Bo Diddley, musician; Patti Smith, singer.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you gain by looking at things through another's eyes is more than you can possibly anticipate -- but you can't keep it up forever.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Pick and choose from a variety of options. You'll make good progress today -- provided you let your core interests lead the way.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will surely attract attention today, but perhaps that is not your intention. Whether or not it is, you'll use others to your advantage.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take care that you are not misinterpreting the messages you're getting today -- especially from those who are usually critical of you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You mustn't assume that things will be "the same as always" today, especially where your relationship dynamics are concerned. Change is on the way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know that you've been neglecting yourself of late, and today you'll have the chance to acknowledge it and turn this pattern around.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The past and the future are both worth studying today, but take care that you don't neglect a personal need that you feel acutely right now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be accused of something you didn't do. It's time to circle the wagons and defend yourself and those who align themselves with you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You should perform very well today, even under unusual pressure. You may be called upon to make a decision with unusual speed.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not understand all that you are told today, but you can still make headway by following your instincts -- and a close friend.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not know just what's coming, but you have a sense of how you must react when it gets here. That's enough to allow you to prepare.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone from your past is soon going to play a far more significant role in your affairs than you are used to, but that can be an advantage.
