Born today, you are one of the most passionate, creative and strong-willed individuals born under your sign, and you are also possessed of tremendous vision and drive -- both of which are sure to serve you well. The flip side, of course, is that you may find it difficult to get along with many types of people -- especially those whose tastes, desires and ideals differ even slightly from your own. You are not as tolerant as you might be, but though you may think someone is wrong and want little to do with him or her, you will defend his or her right to be wrong!
Your honesty is both a strength and a liability, for you may find that honesty is not always the best policy; indeed, there are times in which it is better for you to say nothing at all rather than speak the truth -- for the truth can sometimes be divisive or hurtful.
Also born on this date are: Sinead O'Connor, singer; Teri Hatcher, actress; Kim Basinger, actress; John Rubinstein, actor; Jim Morrison, singer; James Galway, flutist; David Carradine, actor.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The simpler things remain, the better -- for you and for those around you. Avoid anyone who tries to overcomplicate things.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your willingness to work with others and arrive at a productive compromise will give you the advantage -- and let you remain competitive.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Check in to see how things are going elsewhere on a regular basis. You'll need such up-to-date information to keep your own efforts relevant.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You don't have to share all the information to which you are entitled; indeed, you were best to keep some of it to yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Progress may have to be measured in very small increments today. See if you can't persuade a friend to accompany you on a journey.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others will appreciate your enthusiasm -- so long as it is genuine. If you overdo it in any way, it is likely to backfire.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be after something that a friend also has his or her eyes on -- and this time it may actually be better for you to give way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to make more stops along the way than expected -- mostly because you are trying to get past several key distractions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can make something of a name for yourself -- if only for a short time. Don't let nerves get the better of you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not have faith in the plan that has been laid down for you to follow, but you are allowed to do some things your own way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You have what it takes to try something new -- though you'll certainly want to rely on some trusted friends to help you out if possible.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not be able to change everyone's mind today, but you can certainly have an influence that will be felt for quite some time.
