Your Birthday for December 30, 2024

Your Birthday | December 30th, 2024

Born today, you are not always what you seem to be, because you tend to keep certain aspects of your personality safely guarded and often under wraps and you choose to reveal them only at certain times and to certain people whom you trust to react appropriately and not assume the worst about you as a result. And what is it, precisely, that others might not react well to in your nature? You have a knack for persuasion, to begin with, that is rare indeed -- and very few people are able to remain true to their own avowed beliefs when under your particular spell. This isn't always a bad thing, however, for you are almost always on the side of right, and when you choose to influence a person's thinking, it's almost always because they would do well to have it changed!

You have a flair for the dramatic, and when you accomplish something, you always want to unveil it in a manner that attracts as much attention as possible. You are multi-talented and able to do many different things, but those closest to you may see you in certain roles, and you will surely want to try them out whenever possible.

Also born on this date are: Lebron James, basketball player; Tiger Woods, golfer; Tyrese Gibson, singer; Davy Jones, singer and actor; Matt Lauer, TV broadcaster; Meredith Vieira, TV host; Michael Nesmith, singer and musician; Sandy Koufax, baseball player; Jack Lord, actor; Sean Hannity, talk show host; Rudyard Kipling, author and poet; Bo Diddley, musician; Patti Smith, singer; Tracey Ullman, actress and comedian; Russ Tamblyn, actor; Bert Parks, famed pageant host.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others in your orbit may discover something about you today that you've been trying to hide -- or at least disguise. This can be a good thing!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A new addition to your home or office environment will prove beneficial to you in more ways than one today. A key project receives a boost.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone with whom you talk only rarely is likely to get in touch today -- or you may learn that an attempt has been made. Reciprocate!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You receive important news from someone who doesn't know just how critical it is. What you do with it before day's end will make it clear.

Your Birthday for December 29, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 29th, 2024

Born today, you are all about fulfilling potential, but you are not a daredevil, and you will always employ all the caution that a given situation requires. This means, of course, that there are times in which you will choose to go forward very slowly indeed in order to study what lies ahead and to avoid the pitfalls that other less careful people would fall prey to -- but forward you go, no matter what. Even when stricken with illness, you will keep your thoughts on what is possible until tomorrow, when you are once more feeling up to snuff -- and in the meantime, you will use the time to study, learn and prepare yourself for the challenges that lie ahead that you will choose to assault head-on. Despite the care you always try to take, you are also very brave.

When it comes to love, you are far more willing to trust in luck and take what the stars have in store for you without thinking too much about it ahead of time. Indeed, you are perhaps at your most carefree when you are in a romantic relationship, and you have a knack for keeping romance alive for a long, long time.

Also born on this date are: Ross Lynch, actor; Jude Law, actor; Mary Tyler Moore, actress and producer; Ted Danson, actor; Danny McBride, actor and comedian; Andrew Johnson, U.S. president; Mekhi Phifer, actor; Patricia Clarkson, actress; Billy Mitchell, U.S. military leader; Gelsey Kirkland, ballerina; Tsarina Elizabeth of Russia.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have made a decision recently that is now beginning to deliver in some way. You can expect to encounter a few obstacles, however.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don't mistake quantity for quality today, or you'll find yourself exhausted for no reason at all. You know it's good work that matters most!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's important that you know when to set one task aside and begin to work on another. You surely can't do everything all at once today!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The time you have available to you during the first part of the day will be most valuable to you, and you mustn't fritter it away!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take the time required to complete a certain task up to par today -- or turn your attention elsewhere. You can't afford to do a so-so job.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're going to want to see someone in action before deciding whether to be a rival or an ally. You both have very much in common, actually.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can send a very clear message today without spelling it out explicitly, point for point. A mere suggestion may well get the proper response.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to chase down the information you require today before you have enough to work with -- and time may be of the essence, too!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's time to consider a change of pace, if not at the workplace, then at home, surely. You may risk falling into a funk otherwise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be sure to let another know what you're doing today so that you'll have backup if and when you need it. You must play it safe at this time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Sharing your work with a friend may be a little riskier than usual today, as you've likely been venturing into unfamiliar territory recently.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may want to give a little more personal time than usual to a friend or loved one. They need what you need -- only a little more so.

Your Birthday for December 28, 2024

Your Birthday | December 28th, 2024

Born today, you seem to be the embodiment of balance, between the head and the heart, between thought and feeling, between caution and a willingness to give almost anything a try. This doesn't mean that you live always in equilibrium, however. On the contrary, there are times when you choose to favor this aspect of your personality or that, to lean on the more circumspect part of your nature or that which allows you to jump at almost any opportunity without warning. You are sure to encounter your share of risk and danger in life, and whether you do your best to avoid it or charge straight ahead and take what comes often depends on the potential for reward -- whether tangible or intangible.

You're not usually one to make money simply to amass a fortune, but neither are you the kind to give away what you have to offer for nothing. You can make plenty of money, but you will do so by exploring your inner potential -- and that will bring you tremendous contentment and satisfaction as well as an ample bank balance.

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.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You spend a great deal of time persuading others to care for themselves as they should, but you really must take your own advice today!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be where you want to be today, but you can surely make the best of this situation that you consider unfortunate in many ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your attempts to disguise the truth or otherwise keep it from someone else is only likely to backfire on you today. Be honest and forthright.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not hear from a friend or family member as expected today, but if you get in touch, you'll surely come to understand why this is so.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Brevity is not only the soul of wit, but also can keep you out of trouble today. Watch the clock and be sure you don't go overtime in any endeavor.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may encounter others who refuse to take a serious situation seriously. It'll fall to you, then, to give it the attention it deserves.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Many may choose to follow in your footsteps today, or in the days to come, but you can't look after them all as you go your own way once more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Someone who has been making decisions for you of late is likely to be out of the picture today, which means you're on your own for a while.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You won't have to work very hard today to uncover the hidden meanings behind messages that are sent to you through back channels.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The plan you are working on for you and a friend may not be ready by the time you had hoped to implement it. Can it wait another day?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Pay attention to what you are told upfront and in-person today, but you can surely disregard what is said about you behind your back.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be interrupted a few times today, or someone may try to interrupt you -- but your concentration is likely to prove impervious.
