Your Birthday for November 02, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 2nd, 2012

Born today, you are so focused on what you want and how to get it that you can sometimes neglect those peripheral issues that can actually be quite important to you -- and this is something that will prove a lifelong challenge to you, in both personal affairs and business pursuits. Once you learn to go after what you want and still maintain your peripheral sense of what is going on around you, you will surely be able to maximize your own rewards in all things. You cannot avoid all related setbacks, but you can surely minimize the likelihood of recurrent problems.

You do not like to stay in one place for any great length of time, and as a result you may prove quite peripatetic throughout your lifetime, traveling here and there and experiencing the different kinds of things that others places, peoples and cultures have to offer.

Also born on this date are: David Schwimmer, actor; k.d. lang, singer; Pat Buchanan, conservative commentator; Ray Walston, actor; Burt Lancaster, actor; Warren G. Harding, U.S. president; James K. Polk, U.S. president.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be guided in the right direction by someone whose experience is less than yours, but whose instincts are much keener.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll reveal a secret about yourself that wins positive reactions from someone who is not always easy to impress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A look back at your creative history will reveal something that takes you by surprise even now. Your critics may be silenced for a while.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Information is likely to be shared that results in benefits you cannot yet anticipate. It's time for you to seek the key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When you tell others how you do it, they are likely to be somewhat incredulous -- though you can prove that your methods are indeed valid.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can entertain those around you simply by doing and saying what comes naturally. You have an attractive though puzzling nature.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A contest with another comes down to a matter of taste -- and what you think is excellent may well serve to cool another's reactions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can't believe everything you read today, but what comes to you directly from a reliable source is something you can count on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- It's a good day to examine your priorities. Someone may be trying to insinuate himself into a private situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can't undo what has already been done, though you may be concerned with how to spin reports that things are not as they should be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can rely on someone who claims to be an expert -- but not, at first, for the reasons you anticipate. A surprise is in store.

Your Birthday for November 01, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 1st, 2012

Born today, you are a generous and sensitive individual with a passion for doing things that benefit not only yourself, but those around you. When you are young it may seem as though your efforts are primarily self-serving, but the truth is that you are always working to position yourself so that you are able to work for the greater good. When you are starting out, this may mean making a name for yourself, attracting attention to your endeavors and making money that you can later spend on those projects to which you feel fully committed and dedicated. You seem to know what others are feeling, and you strive to do those things that will have them feeling better about themselves and the world at large.

You will stick with something until one of two things happens: either success, or the kind of failure that prevents you from continuing. You are never one to give up on something halfway through.

Also born on this date are: Jenny McCarthy, model and comedian; Lyle Lovett, singer; Larry Flynt, publisher; Gary Player, golfer; Stephen Crane, author.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be singled out for something that is really only partially your own doing. You'll want to share credit with another.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If it's approval you seek, you may have to wait patiently for much longer than you had anticipated. It will come -- but not today, probably.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll be tempted to fall back on something much easier when the going gets tough for you when pursuing your primary goal.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The social aspects of your work will provide more than mere enjoyment. You can make one or two important new contacts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be skeptical of a plan introduced by another -- and not just because your own ideas are being overlooked. You have a legitimate concern.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must lean on someone more reliable than your familiar teammates today -- not that they are unreliable, but another is more steady.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You'll discover that what you have been doing is not exactly according to the plan set forth by those in charge. It's a matter of creativity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will want to stay firmly within your comfort zone as you face a situation with which you have not been long acquainted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Attend to all forms of protocol today and you'll avoid rubbing anyone the wrong way. Such manners count for much.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Warnings that come your way must be heard or they will surely go unheeded -- and that, in turn, will bring serious dangers your way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone is trying to get you to back off from an issue that is quite important to you at this time. Hold your ground patiently.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have a certain style that can be shown off on more than one occasion. Others will come back to you with positive feedback.

Your Birthday for October 31, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | October 31st, 2012

Born today, you are something of a visionary, and though you will always maintain ties to the past, you are always seeking to propel yourself and your endeavors into the future with new methods, techniques and ideas. You are so confident, in fact, that you would have no qualms about improving on a past master's work of art -- and because you are so bold and daring in your approach it is likely that others would recognize your contribution and not take you to task for "defacing" the original! Fortunately, you have such respect for tradition that you're not one to ruin another's work.

Also born on this date are: Peter Jackson, film director; John Candy, actor and comedian; Jane Pauley, journalist; Deidre Hall, actress; David Ogden Stiers, actor; Michael Landon, actor and producer.

You don't always follow the most linear plans. There are times, indeed, in which you let your instincts determine what direction you will go -- and what goals you will pursue. Eventually, you develop a concrete notion of what you are truly after -- and how to get it!

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Cause and effect is worthy of some study today, as it will play out in a way that is unexpected -- though not altogether surprising.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're going to want to have things transpire in certain ways -- but you must acknowledge that you can influence them only so much.
