Horoscope: Dec. 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is nothing inherently wonderful, but because you have wonder inside of you, you'll bring it to the world, and its majestic curtains will open before you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're on the hunt for one specific thing, and this purpose will lead you through the day. When you see what you need, go after it. Hesitation prolongs the inevitable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A blunt approach often will bring direct results, but in the long term, it won't improve a reputation the way finesse does. The one with the best manners will win today's prize opportunity.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People acting out of obligation or habit will say the same thing they said last time, but you won't respond in the same way. This is proof that you're present, bringing fresh energy to the scene.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You accept yourself whether or not you are fitting in with the people around you. They'll accept you, too. They were getting bored with the status quo anyhow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The areas in which you prosper now are the very same ones that caused you suffering only a few years ago. Remember this, and be untroubled. The issue that plagues you soon will pass.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There's a difference between observing and passing judgment. You'll stay objective most of the day, but by nightfall you may decide you've seen enough of other people's lives to make you love your own even more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don't have to accept the mythology of others as the only storytelling that matters. Create your own mythology. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know that often the people who are the hardest to love need love the most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It is said that being kind is better than being right, but what if you're in charge of teaching others? The kind way will seem to take longer, while the right way, bluntly delivered, cuts to the quick.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The emphasis is on family, and you'll be curious as to your family history, so just ask. They want to tell their story, and even if it doesn't seem to be about you directly, it is all a part of who you are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A relationship is progressing to the point where you think you know each other well - maybe too well. Close that open book, and build some mystery back into the equation.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 13). You'll be someone's hero this year in big and small ways. Next month, you'll complete a responsibility and launch into a new adventure. A benefactor will provide you with funding and help with travel. March features a thrilling partnership. Justice prevails in April, so make sure you're on the right side. Aquarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 2, 22, 34 and 14.
