Your Birthday for January 03, 2025

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 3rd, 2025

Born today, you can be quite a slippery character, the kind that others just cannot keep track of as you make your way through life's journey. You are quite adept at a great many things, and at the same time, you don't make a big deal about either your abilities or your accomplishments. You simply go about your life in a businesslike fashion, leaving to others to bestow upon you the acclaim, admiration and rewards that you do, deep down, feel that you deserve in spite of your cool and even detached demeanor. None of this is meant to suggest that you cannot or do not make mistakes; on the contrary, you make perhaps more than your share, for you rely on error to teach you what you need to know. But you never act as if you've done anything wrong, and you always manage to move forward unfazed.

You can be quite defensive when pushed into a corner, and you will fight tooth and nail to protect yourself or others you care about -- and you will face any challenge in order to maintain your autonomy and, when it is useful to you, your anonymity. Will you ever settle down? It's quite possible -- but only with just the right person.

Also born on this date are: Eli Manning, football player; Mel Gibson, actor and director; J.R.R. Tolkien, author; Victoria Principal, actress; Bobby Hull, hockey player; George Martin, music producer; Stephen Stills, singer and songwriter; Victor Borge, pianist and comedian; Robert Loggia, actor and director; Dabney Coleman, actor; Sergio Leone, Italian film director; Ray Milland, actor.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have more than a few choices to make today, but one in particular stands out as the one you must make before any other. Which is it?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're after something that others don't value the way you do, which will actually do you some good as there will likely be few in your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You mustn't mistake emotional upset with physical ills today, as the treatment for each is quite different. Focus on your state of mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can make a few small adjustments today that ultimately add up to something big that others will praise and respect. It's a good start.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may spend much of the day wondering "What's next," when, in fact, you should focus on the here and now and let things happen as they will.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Give each development today the attention it deserves and its true value -- which, of course, will surely evolve as the day progresses.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you do today is sure to count in the minds of others, but what you're after may be quite different from what most are trying to accomplish.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A choice you make today is sure to be critical to your immediate future -- not because of what happens, but because of what doesn't.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Someone may shatter your illusions about your current standing, but this can do you a world of good as you embrace a new kind of reality.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can surely do something quite memorable today, though it's not likely to turn out to be what you originally had in mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You and a friend may have trouble agreeing on the most appropriate steps to take today in response to a third party's seeming aggression.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You will want to play the odds today and avoid anything that seems a long shot. Indeed, what worked for you before can work for you today.

Your Birthday for January 02, 2025

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 2nd, 2025

Born today, you are often considered to be larger than life, but you would maintain that nothing is larger than life, and, indeed, you prove it on a daily basis by exceeding the expectations of others even in the most routine of activities or endeavors. There are ways in which you tower over those around you, most especially in moral standing -- for you are always keenly interested in right and wrong, and can almost always be counted on to be on the right and righteous side of any issue. What is not generally known about you, however, is that despite the power and natural force of your personality, you are also quite sensitive, and you would just as soon gather rosebuds as engage in some kind of conflict.

There are times when you must be quite careful that you don't come on so strong that you put people off or turn them away. You always want others to be welcome within the sphere of your influence, and you don't want to come off as one who is in any way at war with others. On the contrary, you are always working toward greater peace and harmony.

Also born on this date are: Tia Carrere, actress; Taye Diggs, actor; Kate Bosworth, actor; Isaac Asimov, science fiction author; Paz Vega, actress; Jack Hanna, zookeeper and animal expert; Jim Bakker, televangelist; Wendy Phillips, actress; David Cone, baseball player.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can do much to improve the circumstances faced by someone close to you, and in the process, you'll surely improve your own as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What goes around, comes around -- or so they say. What happens to you today may challenge the adage for a while -- but not permanently.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you want to do today may be somewhat controversial, but no one should stand in your way. Try it but be ready to bail out if necessary.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good time to chart your own course, especially when it comes to something that only you want to do. No one wants to join you this time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If a prognostication proves false, it's because you didn't consider all elements and variables. A complete picture gives you a complete answer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're ready to give someone a bit of their own medicine, but you want to wait until the time is just right. You'll need an audience!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A little mischief can bring you a good deal of enjoyment today, but take care you aren't simply being cruel to someone close to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your fight or flight instinct is likely to kick in today in a moment of surprise. Such a reaction, however, is inappropriate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're no fan of what someone else is promoting at this time, but today you may have to support it because it's the least hurtful option.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is no time to sit back and let things happen around you. You must take part and ensure that your influence is positive and lasting!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Focus on your feelings and how they are altered when you are faced with different influences -- especially where a rivalry is concerned.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're in no mood to be victimized today by someone who is looking for a fight. Steer clear and avoid all confrontations if you can.

Your Birthday for January 01, 2025

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | January 1st, 2025

Born today, you are one of those individuals who considers the care of others to the be the most important and most noble occupation anyone can pursue, and you are always looking out for those who need your help in some way, for providing it is the thing that makes you feel best about yourself, no matter the circumstances. You often don't have to do much to be of use to those around you; your mere presence is often felt and appreciated, and serves to remind everyone that help is available to them should they need it. You inspire others and make them feel safe, and you are always eager to see those in your care become the best that they can be and realize their life's dreams and potential.

You may be somewhat erratic in behavior when by yourself, because you can be moody and your interests run the gamut from the routine to the unusual and bizarre. You have a unique style that is always apparent in your dress and the way you carry yourself, and you like to put yourself on display on occasion.

Also born on this date are: Betsy Ross, seamstress and flag maker; Verne Troyer, actor; Xavier Cugat, bandleader; J.D. Salinger, author; J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director; Frank Langella, actor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself wondering whatever happened to a certain someone who has been out of the picture for a while. Why not get in touch?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21 -- You're likely to repeat yourself again and again today, but why? If you find that others aren't willing to listen, simply choose to move on!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You aren't looking for any special recognition or treatment today, just an acknowledgement that you've done your usual good work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Your seeming confidence will be evident to almost anyone who interacts with you today -- but how much of it is something you're putting on?
