Born today, you are a complex and sometimes difficult individual. When young, you may spend a great deal of time fighting against the "establishment" in order to promote your own image and autonomy -- but you are likely to discover that there is more harm to come from such an approach than good. Later in life you will almost certainly come to the conclusion that reducing conflict and stress is the way to go -- and you will almost surely become a proponent of peace and harmony in all things.
You can be somewhat secretive, especially with those whom you have first met -- but soon you will reveal yourself in full glory, and you'll encourage those around you to do the same. Though you may, in your youth, have suffered from self-deception, in your maturity you will surely be a model of self-awareness in most if not all things.
Also born on this date are: Sir Anthony Hopkins, actor; Donna Summer, singer; John Denver, singer; Val Kilmer, actor; Sir Ben Kingsley, actor; Bebe Neuwirth, actress; Henri Matisse, painter; Simon Wiesenthal, Holocaust survivor and writer.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Knowing what you're looking at and being confident in your assessment of what you see will prove important to you all day long.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can satisfy a craving today, but know that you're going to have to carve out a certain amount of time from your day to do so.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be questioning your own motives at times today. A friend lets you know when things are not quite up to par. Stick to what you know.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Are you ready for what you suspect is right around the next corner? As you continue to prepare, there's no reason to keep friends in the dark.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You must follow the rules today and insist that others do the same. Someone may try to resist your authority, but you'll stand your ground.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Look at yourself and others honestly today, and you'll be able to determine just which planned changes will lead to good and which will not.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you're working on now needn't be finished by day's end. You have dedicated yourself to the process, not to a preconceived result.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The opinions you are sharing at this time may not be falling on the right ears. Be sure that you are talking to those who can hear you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have trouble forming a clear opinion today, but only because the input you expected to receive hasn't yet arrived. Be patient; don't be soured.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll be asking more questions than usual, perhaps, but that's all right, as there are those who can supply all the answers you need.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know what is required of you today to perform and complete a certain task as expected. Don't get creative; stick to the script!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have to cope with interruptions today as you strive to complete a complex endeavor. Some moments provide surprise inspiration.
