Born today, you seem to live your life on two different but parallel planes -- one that deals in the here and now, and one that deals in things fanciful and imaginative. Where you have the advantage over so many other people, however, is in your ability to merge the two at times -- making the impossible possible and making your dreams come true while keeping your two feet firmly on the ground. You have a great many talents that you can apply to either part of your life, and it's not likely that you will follow only one path to success and contentment.
Something of a visionary, you enjoy challenging others to be better than they are -- and to employ unusual means in doing so. Capricorn natives are, by nature, willing to explore unusual paths -- and while you certainly do this, you're also quite adept at persuading others to do so as well.
Also born on this date are: Eli Manning, football player; Mel Gibson, actor and director; J.R.R. Tolkien, author; Victoria Principal, actress; Bobby Hull, hockey player; George Martin, music producer; Stephen Stills, singer and songwriter.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
MONDAY, JANUARY 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A trip that you expect to be a pleasure outing becomes much more complicated -- and even more so if you take a certain friend along with you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- News received from afar today may seem to be meant for anyone but you, but the fact is that you are implicated in several important ways.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll get far today simply by making those around you feel good about themselves and their endeavors. You should make a habit of this!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may expect to feel less enthusiastic about things than usual today -- but no one around you is going to let your spirits fall right now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're trying to get yourself out of a difficult situation, surely, but your efforts are actually making things worse. You may be trying too hard!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Some things can be made better today, and some cannot -- and you know precisely where you should spend your time. Avoid anything doubtful.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may not get the happy ending you want today, but the good news is that you can prolong things in order to avoid a bad one! Keep working!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are tired of the tension between you and a member of the opposite sex. It may be time for you both to face your feelings directly!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A misinterpretation of the facts you are facing today will put you in a vulnerable position. You don't want to remain stationary for long!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Communication becomes much more important today as the messages you send -- and receive -- are likely to contain highly sensitive details.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You'll be pleased by what is laid out before you today -- but take care you don't head off on a journey too soon. Prepare yourself -- and be safe!
