Born today, you do your best to live your life carefully balanced between two contrary realities, and as a result, your privacy, which you cherish more than perhaps any other thing in your life, and the lasting attention and scrutiny from one or many individuals will continually battle for supremacy and find you in the middle working tirelessly to reconcile them again and again.
You have a unique and curious way of looking at the world. On one hand, you recognize it as a place that provides opportunity and reward, and on the other, you see it as a gritty, hard and often disappointing place that you struggle to navigate successfully. What is most unusual is that you are able to derive great benefit from both outlooks because of how they shape and inspire you.
Also born on this date are: Mary Martin, actress; Bette Midler, singer, actress, entertainer; Richard Pryor, comedian and actor; Lou Rawls, singer; Woody Allen, actor, writer, director, comedian; Lee Trevino, golfer.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A collaboration of sorts comes close to breaking down completely today -- but you can save things by recognizing someone else's good idea.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone who has been with you through thick and thin may abandon you today -- but not for the reasons you think. They'll be back very soon.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You fear that you'll be left holding the bag today, but no one is going to let you down in such a way. Trust the plan as it was devised.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A surprise comes your way today in the form of some good news, and as a result, you should be able to enjoy a little R & R sometime soon.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you cannot choose between A and B, you may simply want to leave the decision up to someone you trust. Either way, you'll acquit yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others will be quite willing to do things your way today, but you must not make assumptions or fail to express your gratitude openly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Focusing on the little things may only bring you down today, when even a quick look at the big picture reveals something quite positive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must avoid a shouting match with a rival at all costs. If you recognize that you both have a valid point of view, you can avoid conflict.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Good luck comes your way today in an unusual form. What happens behind your back gives you valuable information -- once you hear of it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can instruct without coddling today -- and if you set just the right tone, your students will surely follow wherever you lead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may discover today that it is much harder to do a thing when you keep thinking about it too much. Let go and trust you know how to do it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll have more wiggle room than expected today, which can serve you well as you venture into a rather emotional situation at home.
