Your Birthday for December 14, 2024

Your Birthday | December 14th, 2024

Born today, you have been endowed with a great many gifts, but perhaps the one that will do the most for you in your professional life is the capacity for strategizing that exceeds that of anyone else in your sign -- and perhaps any sign in the Zodiac! Indeed, in your mind, there is virtually nothing that cannot be done, provided you are able to conceptualize it fully, analyze it from every possible angle, and form a plan that not only defies common understanding but also promises tremendous rewards. It is this last point that is most important, of course: You will do almost anything, and face almost any danger, if the promise of reward is great enough -- and perhaps the most important to you is notoriety. You want other people to know what you've done, and to celebrate it in some way.

You may be a born leader, but this trait will require some development before it's really able to bring you much success. You cannot expect to begin at the top, certainly! You must be willing to climb through the ranks in order to land in a position in which you are able to satisfy your desires and use all of your abilities to the fullest.

Also born on this date are: Margaret Chase Smith, U.S. congresswoman and senator; James Doolittle, U.S. Air Force general; Shirley Jackson, author; Stan Smith, tennis player; Spike Jones, comic bandleader; Patty Duke, actress; Lee Remick, actress; George VI, King of Great Britain.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Putting yourself in another's shoes can open up a new perspective to you, but there may be something dangerous in that today. Use care.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- How you assess a certain problem will inform other things you start working on -- soon, but perhaps not today. You must be ready, however.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can make a certain task pay off today when, in the past, it has fallen short. Others may choose to follow you down this path for a while.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You don't want to attract too much attention today, yet you don't want to be overlooked. This can be a tricky balance to strike.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- To get something done by nightfall, you may have to start at the end and work your way back to the beginning. This will require some patience!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may develop a certain appreciation for what another is doing at this time, but today isn't the day to follow where you're being led.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you do today will allow you to continue along a road that can introduce you to further rarities. Keep your eyes and ears open!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Tend to all necessary business as early as you can today, for you'll want to have time available to indulge in something personal later on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have to address certain routine issues in a manner that is much more up close and personal than usual. Why is that?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to put in more than one major effort today back-to-back. You’ll realize that this isn’t really all that unusual for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- That which accompanies the usual today is likely to prove even more important, at least for now. You can turn this to your clear advantage.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may discover something quite different that you're eager to explore fully -- but is there time to do that today?

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.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you didn't before, you may believe in magic after discovering today what is possible when you're not looking. There's more to come!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It may take more time than expected today to get something started for which you've been preparing for quite a while. Are you the holdup?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Go back a step and see if you can't avoid certain obstacles the second time around. You may have to undergo a change that you've long resisted.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself in charge today -- once again, perhaps? What you do in the name of unity will be more important to others this time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself grappling with certain regrets that have been creeping up on you for quite a while. Turn and face them directly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you contribute to a team effort is likely to be remembered as a central and essential component -- but don't let this go to your head!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Remember today that less is more -- especially when you find yourself encouraging someone else. You can only do so much!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It may be time to revisit one of your favorite pleasures, but will you enjoy it solo or with a friend today? The choice is yours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may encounter difficulties that are more technical in nature than usual, and you may have to call in assistance to deal with them.

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.
