Your Birthday for December 13, 2024

Your Birthday | December 13th, 2024

Born today, you are likely to know precisely what you are meant to do with your life at a remarkably early age. You have what it takes to make your every dream come true, provided you start young and stay on course faithfully throughout good times and bad, keeping your eyes on your goals and reaching for them in a dedicated, disciplined and inspired manner -- all of which you can most certainly do! You are multi-talented and able to understand much about the world that others might consider beyond your reach or outside your range of experience, and this is sure to surprise many and prove a major advantage in all aspects of your personal life and professional endeavors. Indeed, you have the ability to see what is before you, identify it accurately and comprehend its significance fully.

You may be somewhat unpredictable in your personal affairs, as there is in almost all Sagittarians a streak of rebellion that compels them to pursue what can prove to be fleeting interests or affections. Ultimately, however, you should be able to enjoy a long and fulfilling love -- though you will do that your way, or not at all!

Also born on this date are: Taylor Swift, singer and songwriter; Jamie Foxx, actor; Dick Van Dyke, actor; Richard Zanuck, film producer; Steve Buscemi, actor; Ted Nugent, rocker; Christopher Plummer, actor; John Davidson, actor; Wendie Malick, actress; Mary Todd Lincoln, U.S. first lady; Carlos Montoya, flamenco guitarist.

Your Birthday for December 12, 2024

Your Birthday | December 12th, 2024

Born today, you can be something of a tough nut to crack, the kind who appears to be one thing but is actually something very different beneath the surface. You also approach life in a certain way when, in fact, this is something you have intentionally cultivated and not a result of your organic makeup. The truth is that you are somewhat changeable, but you choose which aspects of your complex personality to highlight, depending on the situations you encounter and the circumstances in which you may find yourself embroiled. Ultimately, however, it's all you -- and to those who know you well and whose friendship and loyalty you have earned, you are someone who can surely be counted on, especially when the going gets tough.

You have undying energy and you will dedicate yourself to anyone who is being treated unfairly in any way. You cannot abide unjust treatment of any kind, and you will do all you can to ensure that everyone around you enjoys the perks and benefits that you do -- provided, of course, that they're willing to work for them the way you do.

Also born on this date are: Frank Sinatra, singer and actor; Bob Barker, game show host; Jennifer Connelly, actress; Bill Nighy, actor; Connie Francis, singer; Cathy Rigby, gymnast and actress; Edvard Munch, painter; Ed Koch, New York City mayor; Edward G. Robinson, actor.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to realize today that what you're expected to do is not something that comes naturally or that you want to try. Speak up!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Hesitation today is likely to cause some problems between you and a trusted ally. You must make it clear why you cannot and will not be rushed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone else may be in line to do something you are eager to do as well. Perhaps you can negotiate a change that gives you your chance first.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You cannot let someone else's arrangements cause you trouble today, but that means you must be present when certain decisions are being made.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be required to step in today and fill a role that others are unwilling to play. You must uncover the reason for this if at all possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not share someone else's enthusiasm about a certain endeavor today, but that doesn't mean you cannot make a valuable contribution.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your standards may be much higher than anyone else's at this time, which is likely to cause some hardship. Are you willing to compromise at all?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Tend to a certain task bit by bit today, and you'll enjoy a sense of accomplishment when all is said and done. Don't be hasty in anything.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not have much to work with today -- at least not by current standards -- but you can still accomplish more than some others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone is likely to keep you on edge throughout the day merely by being near you. This is something you're going to want to figure out!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’ll have to think very carefully about two competing opportunities you’re currently facing. One is personal; the other professional.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be having trouble getting past a recent upset, but you'll have an opportunity today to let it go for good. A friend figures prominently.

Your Birthday for December 11, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 11th, 2024

Born today, you are not always the most consistent and reliable of individuals, though you are certainly not the kind to undervalue these traits or work intentionally to disappoint anyone. The fact is that you are driven to pursue your own interests and there are times, as a result, that you calculate that you will be unable to fulfill some promise to another because you are going down a path that takes you in a new and likely incompatible direction. This can certainly result in some tension between you and those to whom you have promised something and failed to deliver, but you can always undo the damage at a later date and fulfill such promises -- if you're willing to put another's needs or desires before your own -- and you're sure to find that this really isn't all that hard to do!

Though it is difficult for most others to anticipate what you may or may not do under any given circumstances, anyone with whom you choose to have a long-term romantic relationship is likely to be exempt from this, as you're one who, in love, will do what you have promised and more, come what may. Ironically or not, you can be quite a steadfast and faithful lover!

Also born on this date are: Nikki Sixx, musician, author, fashion designer; Monique, actress and comedienne; Jermaine Jackson, singer; John Kerry, U.S. senator and Secretary of State; Rita Moreno, actress; Brenda Lee, singer; Mos Def, actor, rapper, activist; Donna Mills, actress; Max Born, physicist; Teri Garr, actress; Fiorello La Guardia, New York City mayor.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Think before you speak today or you're likely to find yourself in hot water -- and it may be difficult to undo the damage in the time allowed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Common sense may be in short supply today, but you can apply it generously to a situation you will soon be able to control single-handedly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You don't have to be the life of the party in order to spread your unique brand of joy to others. The simplest contact can work wonders today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Others are likely to rely on you for more than you had anticipated today, and your personal burden is likely to increase some as a result.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- How many things can you do at once today? The quality of your efforts is more important than the quantity, so don't be taken in by such questions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others may be watching you with a critical eye, but you are confident that this is only because they cannot keep up with you -- for now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can inspire someone else with the simplest tale of a past success. There's more to this than you know that should soon be apparent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're excited by the prospect of something new that you'll have a chance to explore when you clear your schedule. Get it done quickly!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can approach much of what faces you today with a positive spirit, and the more colorful your efforts, the more success you'll have.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not have much of import to accomplish during the first part of the day, so you can concentrate on preparation for later on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to hear criticism today in an unusual fashion, interpreting it as a kind of compliment. Much that you do is quite admirable!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Take care that you don't come on too strong today, or the very people you are trying to win over will be driven further away. Tone it down.
