Mercury in Sagittarius creates tension with Uranus in Pisces. This brings about a few tantrums from young and old alike. Frustrations are likely develop if we can't express what we are feeling or explain what we want to do. It's so important to be heard that people are likely to use a loud voice even when that's unnecessary. Practice tolerance.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (DECEMBER 4). You're powerfully, deeply thoughtful this month and by the start of the new year you'll be completely focused on your purpose. February brings emotional risk and reward. Your personal life takes a fun turn in March. Your contribution will be a driving force in a May venture. You'll receive a financial bonus in August. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 41, 24, 17 and 20.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Instead of trying to figure out how you're going to manage everything you need to do, make it your priority to be centered. From a quiet and calm place you will perform amazing feats of balance with little effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Revel in primitive awe. You'll encounter the power in nature. Your feelings flood forward -- an uncontrolled human response that connects you to all humanity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you still find yourself acting out in spite of your attempts to control your own behavior, then at least you're being real with your emotions. There is a repressed reason for your little rebellion. Knowing what it is frees you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The game changes. Those you didn't think you would be impressed by could suddenly intimidate you with their presence. This is your cue to go off and get better prepared to make your move.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your moneymaking style is quick and easy. If a project or person proves to be resistant to your efforts, move on immediately. Go for greater numbers of contacts and activities rather than toiling away in efforts that aren't working.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You let yourself be influenced by positive action. What seems to be working for others will work for you, too. You're just the kind of thorough person to apply every step as directed until you achieve success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are feeling the pinch, as the amount of time you need to complete a task doesn't nearly match up to the amount of time you have to dedicate to it. Breathe your way through. A Pisces will be your touchstone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're in an adventurous mood and not limited by the norms of food, entertainment and activity. You're inclined to try a little of this, a little of that and a lot of the other. Your life will be better for the variety.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will be in the public eye. Don't let anyone know that you are struggling to pull off the act. You are successful when you make it look easy. Keep your effort and your tricks to yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don't agonize. Make this your No. 1 rule. Anything you have to do, you can do in an instant if you don't let your mind get in the way with too many irrelevant questions. You already have the answers you need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Trying to do it all will not raise you in the esteem of others. Your power increases as you delegate. Let others labor for you, and you will appear in control and unstrained.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're in a competitive game and many people want to get in on it. There is no reason to be overly protective, but at the same time it would be unfair to the other players to include those who aren't ready to play at the same level.

MAKE YOUR HOLIDAY LIST: Don't forget about yourself this holiday season! Come up with a list and save yourself from having stuff that is (SET ITAL) so (END ITAL) not your thing become, in actuality, your thing. SCORPIO: Your fascination with the inner workings of things and people make a gift card to a bookstore a most welcome contribution. Also, because you're so sensitive, you could really use gifts that help you unwind, like a certificate for a massage, soothing music or special bath oils. SAGITTARIUS: You're in high demand lately and require plenty of energy to get through the season. That's why you'll appreciate good coffee, uplifting music and perhaps a snazzy iPod to listen to it with. CAPRICORN: You'll be entertaining at home in the new year so elegant serving platters and other kitchenware will be of use. You'll also enjoy computer software that helps you do your job more efficiently. AQUARIUS: Upgrades to technology you use daily, such as your television or phone, will make you happy. Magazine subscriptions are also a hit, as is anything that keeps you up to date. PISCES: You'll be expanding your mind in the new year, so lessons, classes and club memberships will be fun. From dancing to cooking to scrapbooking, you'll enjoy being a part of a creative environment.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Happy birthday to sizzling hot Sagittarian Tyra Banks. This supermodel turned role model uses her charming personality and celebrity status to teach the power of a positive attitude to young people. Saturn, the lessons planet, was in nurturing Cancer at her time of birth, indicating the great fulfillment she receives when she is instrumental in the learning process of others.
