Your Daily Horoscope -- December 20, 2014

Today's Birthday Horoscope: December 20, 2014 Born today, you know how to play it safe when you have to, in order to protect yourself and those in your care. You much prefer, however, to go after things in a more aggressive, proactive manner, risking more in the hopes of gaining more. That is much more your style, and the style that wins you success after success. You almost always know what is expected of you, and you are almost always willing and able to do more than that as you are driven to achieve more with each passing day. You're not the kind to rest on your laurels, by any means; you are much more likely to set your laurels aside, so that they don't get damaged as you strive for ever-greater personal success and achievement.      You are more than willing to listen to, and follow, the advice of others, but you also know how to go about things entirely on your own if no advice or guidance is to be expected. You know how to learn by doing, and you will always derive valuable lessons from those endeavors that don't pay off exactly as expected.      Also Born Today Also born on this date are: Jonah Hill, actor; Peter Criss, musician; George Roy Hill, filmmaker; Dick Wolf, TV producer; Harvey Firestone, tire mogul; Irene Dunne, actress; Jenny Agutter, actress; Branch Rickey, baseball manager and activist; Uri Geller, magician; John Hillerman, actor; John Spencer, actor; Aubrey Huff, baseball player. Aries March 21 - April 19 There are a great many details to tend to, so be sure you're not getting into something that you cannot sort out. Taurus April 20 - May 20 Just because something is "new and improved" doesn't mean it's for you. Indeed, the more familiar, old-fashioned approach may be just right. Gemini May 21 - June 21 You'll want to confirm the times and expectations before you jump into something that might otherwise get the better of you. Cancer June 22 - July 22 You can easily be taken advantage of if you're not careful. Lay down the law and make your own personal limits very clear. Leo July 23 - Aug 22 You'll want to clean up after yourself, surely. Any messes you leave behind will only cause trouble for you later on. Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22 You can be sure that someone is watching you -- not because he or she is being critical, but because of a personal fascination. Libra Sept 23 - Oct 22 It may be time, at last, for you to engage another in a social way. Remember, all work and no play can make you dull, indeed! Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21 You have a plan, but it must be flexible. Your various goals are within reach, but you must know when to try for each one in turn. Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 Turn on the charm today, and you can have more than you had expected, but it may come in a manner that surprises even you! Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 It may be time to make some changes around the home. Be sure you know what you're getting into before beginning a do-it-yourself project. Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18 Another's advice or guidance may not be making things any easier for you. Perhaps you're not making your needs clear? Pisces Feb 19 - March 20 You may find yourself in a difficult position toward midday, but when an ally shows up unexpectedly, you should be able to extricate yourself.
