Born today, you are likely to experience perhaps more than your share of professional ups and downs, not because your talents will ever fail you, but rather quite the opposite: You are so eager to explore all of your native abilities that you will sacrifice professional success in order to do so, even at what others might consider very inopportune moments. The fact is that though you are destined for success, the stars have conspired to give you greater interest in your own contentment than in any kind of practical or tangible success.

You have tremendous staying power, and that’s perhaps the single greatest secret to your success. You’re likely to be on the scene longer than virtually any of your peers, simply because you enjoy doing what you do and give no thought to retirement -- which you consider to be nothing but an unnecessary construct.
Also born on this date are: Denzel Washington, actor; Dame Maggie Smith, actress; John Legend, singer; Seth Meyers, actor and comic; Woodrow Wilson, U.S. president; Sienna Miller, actress; Nichelle Nichols, actress; Martin Milner, actor; Earl Hines, jazz musician.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Efficiency is the key to both progress and profit today -- but especially the latter. It’s time to focus squarely on earning power.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’re going to have to be clever and quick today in order to get several different people to work together as if they were a single organism.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’ll be able to showcase one or two relatively new abilities today, but take care you don’t expect too much in return -- at least not yet.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be sure to keep others apprised of your progress today, particularly as you pass established landmarks. Soon you must all work together.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your offers of assistance may not be accepted until the situation at hand becomes critical. When asked, you must surely swing into action.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be unsure of something others trust implicitly. By day’s end, you’ll be able to demonstrate that all is not quite as it should be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself engaged in a contest not of your making -- but you’re likely to discover you have a knack for this kind of thing!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You mustn’t be surprised when something you do very quickly on your own takes quite a long time when working with others. What else is new?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The moment you lose track of your progress today may be the moment you realize that you’ve been on the wrong track all along.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s essential that you do things in the right order today -- and yes, there is a “right order.” Someone in authority is withholding information.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will naturally be curious about much that is happening around you today, but take care that you don’t intrude on someone else’s privacy.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others may be looking to you to take care of something that has never before been in your purview. You’re going to have to learn very quickly!
