Your Birthday for November 16, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 16th, 2012

Born today, you are not the kind to accept criticism with tremendous grace. In fact, you may at times come completely unglued when someone offers up his or her honest opinion of your work or performance -- and for this reason it is best that you adopt a strict policy of discounting anyone's opinion. You insist on remaining free of the kinds of ties that result in nothing but personal debt of one kind or another, so deep is your desire for complete independence and autonomy. The risk, of course, is that you may be alone for much of your life.

You never try to conceal your feelings from others -- nor could you if you tried, they are so volatile and prevalent. You feel strongly about most things, and there are times when it may seem you do not even prioritize. You can be joyous or desperate at the drop of a hat.

Also born on this date are: Oksana Baiul, Olympic figure skater; Lisa Bonet, actress; Dwight Gooden, baseball player; Shigeru Miyamoto, video game designer; Daws Butler, cartoon voice actor; Burgess Meredith, actor.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may realize that something is not as it should be today, but it will very likely be difficult to persuade another that you are right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are likely to be disappointed when someone else tries to do what you have done so successfully in the past. Be patient!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll be able to maneuver your way into a position that affords you a better view of where you are going -- and where you have been.

Your Birthday for November 15, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 15th, 2012

Born today, you do not enjoy those who are in any way secretive, and you will do what you can to avoid associating with such individuals as much as possible. Of course you do realize that this may not be realistic, for in the modern world there are those who will try to keep things from you, deceive you or otherwise mislead you in order to get what they want from you. However, you are a strong individual with a great deal of personal resolve and willpower, and you're certainly not a pushover. You can hold your ground quite well, and avoid being adversely influenced by those who would treat you dishonestly.

You may not know exactly what you are meant to do with your life, at least in a professional sense, for quite some time, and your youth may prove a time for free exploration, experimentation and discovery. Some will be critical, but others will envy your ability to sail where the winds take you.

Also born on this date are: Sam Waterston, actor; Petula Clark, actress and singer; Ed Asner, actor; Joseph Wapner, judge of "People's Court" fame; Georgia O'Keeffe, artist.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have one or two surprises in store for those who do not expect much from you at this time. You always have something cooking!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Check and double-check all setups to make sure that you can deal with any eventuality. You don't want to leave anything to chance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not be able to attain perfection, but it's certainly a worthy goal! Don't settle for anything less than your best.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Doing only what another tells you may get you where you're going, but you won't feel as though you have made your own contribution.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can add a little more excitement to what would otherwise be merely routine endeavors today. Your involvement inspires others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You should be able to combine business and pleasure with remarkable ease -- and success. Some things must not be taken personally.

Your Birthday for November 14, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 14th, 2012

Born today, you know how to see almost every side of the most complex issues and how to communicate well with others -- even when you are dealing with things that others generally do not understand or cannot grasp. This is a skill that can be used for good or for ill, depending upon what it is you want from life -- and how you want to get it. On the whole, however, your success will be deeper and more lasting if you use your talents for good. You have what it takes to affect change in the world around you, and your influence is sure to be widely felt when you are doing what you are destined to do. You enjoy having an impact.

You believe that it is always important for you to understand your enemies, and even if you do not feel affection for them, you will always strive to hold them in some kind of esteem -- for a worthy enemy is certainly worthy of your respect.

Also born on this date are: Condoleeza Rice, American diplomat; Yanni, musician; McLean Stevenson, actor; Brian Keith, actor; Veronica Lake, actress; Claude Monet, painter.
