Your Birthday for December 06, 2024

Your Birthday | December 6th, 2024

Born today, you have a tendency to think you are right in almost any situation, no matter what kind of evidence is presented that might contradict your stance or point of view. This can be an asset at times, of course -- especially when you find yourself in situations in which help is not close at hand and you are on your own to navigate a tricky and potentially hazardous landscape. It can be a liability, however, in any situation that calls for subtlety and negotiation, for any kind of give-and-take or for compromise, for these do not come naturally to you. You are far more likely to charge ahead without a care than to take a cautious and subtle approach even to the most obvious of dangers -- and that's something that wins you a certain kind of admiration from some.

You are perhaps at your best when working on your own, for you can do most things any way you like. But even you must recognize that there are times in which you must work in concert with others, and you must learn to take a softer, quieter approach in such situations, so that others are willing and able to collaborate with you.

Also born on this date are: Steven Wright, comedian; Tom Hulce, actor; Dave Brubeck, musician; Agnes Moorehead, actress; Ira Gershwin, lyricist; Lynn Fontanne, actress.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be able to do things entirely your own way today, but a simple compromise early on will allow you to explore options you enjoy most.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Give another enough space to explore all opportunities today, and you'll realize you'll soon be able to do the same -- when the time comes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You mustn't put anyone else at risk today by doing something you know to be potentially hazardous. You're prepared for it, while others are not.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- While others may wonder why you're not joining in their fun today, you are perfectly content to do something that comes more naturally to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Now is not the time for you to test another's limits, especially when that person is an authority figure. Play the game and follow the rules.

Your Birthday for December 05, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 5th, 2024

Born today, you put great stock in your personal relationships, for you know just how much they affect your mental and emotional health, as well as your business prospects and acumen. Indeed, you depend on those around you for just the kind of support and encouragement that anyone might, but you are more than willing to involve them in your every endeavor, for you truly believe in the adage "the more, the merrier." You are, for this reason, quite an open book, and you don't hide yourself or your inner life from those who are daily involved with you in your regular and habitual activities. You believe that strength is a result of interpersonal connections, and as long as you maintain them, you will be as strong as you ever need to be.

Once you have a clear vision of what tomorrow should be, you will begin immediately to work toward realizing that vision -- and you will always include those who support you in so many ways. You know how to give credit where credit is due -- and you also know how to accept it graciously when it is deserved and offered.

Also born on this date are: Joan Didion, author; Morgan Brittany, actress; Carrie Hamilton, actress; Walt Disney, cartoonist; Jim Messina, rocker; Little Richard, rocker; Fritz Lang, filmmaker.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6

SCOPRIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are likely to realize that a certain someone still has a great deal of influence over you, long after direct interaction came to an end.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Someone is likely to give you some valuable instruction today, and you must take it in the spirit in which it is intended. It's not criticism!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're likely to reach a crossroads of sorts today, and what you do with the opportunity it provides will have far-reaching effects.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will find yourself dealing with both fact and fiction today, and it will be necessary for you to demonstrate to others which is which.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You cannot rush things that should come naturally to you and to others today. It may be necessary for you to take a back seat for a while.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can be inspired by one who approaches certain situations very much the way you do, or you can be threatened. By all means, avoid the latter!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Something that seems pointless to you is quite important to a friend or loved one, and that's all that matters. You must be supportive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- If you find yourself waiting for someone and wish not to be held back, you can move forward while keeping the lines of communication open.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Take a look at a major issue from as many angles as possible today, and you’ll be able to help a novice get up to speed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are willing to do much to see that a certain feared conflict is avoided, but after that, you must take a step back if at all possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Where things went wrong between you and an old friend may be a major concern today, but only honest self-assessment will reveal the problem.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Whether you or another are at fault is not the primary issue today, but rather how you can solve the problem and avoid any kind of repeat.

Your Birthday for December 04, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 4th, 2024

Born today, you are one of the most confident individuals born under your sign, and yet this is no accident, for you weren't simply blessed with this trait by the stars upon birth. No, indeed! You are as confident as you are because you have taught yourself to do a great deal, and to do it well -- much better than most others, in fact -- and so you know that what you set out to do, you are likely to do, without question. So what do you have going for you that explains all this? You were endowed by the stars with many remarkable talents, and whatever you do, you will do in your own inimitable way. You have quite a competitive streak as well, and you will pit yourself against any rival, confident that you can prevail.

The older you get, the more soft-spoken you are likely to be, because you have no reason whatsoever to announce yourself, your abilities and your accomplishments to the world at large, for they likely know all of that. Later in life, therefore, you're sure to be much more laid back than you were in your youth.

Also born on this date are: Tyra Banks, model; Marisa Tomei, actress; Lila McCann, singer; Jay-Z, rapper; Wassily Kandinsky, painter; Jeff Bridges, actor.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Doing the one thing that you most want to avoid doing will demonstrate more than a strong will. Your reputation will receive a real boost.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone else may have to take your part today if you are unavailable to commit as you had anticipated. Have you made any alternate plans?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Use your imagination today and you should be able to conjure something that allows you to prevail where others have met with disappointment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The work you do today may not be your very best, but you can still be in contention for a promotion of sorts. Visibility is what counts most.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not enjoy the peace and quiet you seek today until you've completed a task that involves a great many collaborators. Don't push too hard.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your struggle to understand a certain hazy issue may come to an end today as you stumble upon something that clears it up very quickly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Those who went before you no doubt had to suffer through more difficulties than you do today, but knowing that is only a partial comfort.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Any conflict that ignites today can be doused very quickly by one who knows where the enemies’ vulnerabilities lie -- and that may well be you!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The sooner you share what you know with another, the sooner you'll complete a memorable project. Collaboration is the key factor today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be assuming that you must engage in a current conflict on your own, but there are many allies who are willing to fight with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Others will be expecting you to prove a recent assertion today. Are you ready to reveal everything that has convinced you that you're right?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may find yourself looking back at a former triumph and wishing you could relive it. There is a chance you can repeat it very soon.
