Your Birthday for November 20, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 20th, 2012

Born today, you are an imaginative individual with a tremendously positive outlook and the will to achieve almost anything that you can think up. Indeed, you have been known to do the impossible simply because you have refused to accept failure as an option! Like so many creative individuals, you have something of a fiery temper, which you must always work hard to control -- especially when you are in situations that bring you in contact with strangers. You never know who may be in a position to do you a good turn at some point in the future. Rant and rave at the wrong person, however, and you may never get what you want or need.

You are eager to be noticed, but once you are in the spotlight you can quickly feel rather sheepish and self-conscious. This will prove something of a dilemma throughout most of your life: You will crave attention, and yet you will not always like it when you get it.

Also born on this date are: Bo Derek, actress; Veronica Hamel, actress; Joe Biden, U.S. senator and vice president; Dick Smothers, comedian; Richard Dawson, actor and game show host; Estelle Parsons, actress.

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.

Your Birthday for November 19, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 19th, 2012

Born today, you are one of those relaxed, laid-back individuals who seems to be completely unfazed by most things that go on in the world. Of course, those who know you best understand that just beneath your calm exterior your thoughts and feelings are whirling about dramatically, and this maelstrom of activity fuels your every endeavor. You believe strongly in all manner of things, and your ideology is strictly your own; there are aspects of it that you share with no one else, and you can be quite protective of that which you believe. You're not one to compromise on such things.

You can be quite sympathetic toward others, but your own needs and desires are never far from the forefront of your mind. Indeed, there are those who would call you selfish in the extreme, simply because you are always eager to know what is in it for you, no matter the situation or endeavor.

Also born on this date are: Ryan Howard, baseball player; Kerri Strug, Olympic gymnast; Jodie Foster, actress; Meg Ryan, actress; Calvin Klein, designer; Ted Turner, TV mogul; Dick Cavett, talk show host; Larry King, talk show host; Indira Gandhi, Indian prime minister; Tommy Dorsey, bandleader; James Garfield, U.S. president.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can learn a great deal about yourself by listening to what others have to say. The mirror can tell you only so much!

Your Birthday for November 18, 2012

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 18th, 2012

Born today, you aren't one for passing up an opportunity when you spot it, and you insist on being prepared for any and all eventualities. Your attitude toward life is simple: "If it can happen, it will happen" -- and for this reason you are always readying yourself for the things that can happen, not the things that should happen. You are likely to have a great many advantages over your rivals -- the strongest of which are likely to be your positive attitude and your tolerance of others. You truly think that variety is the spice of life!

You may be torn between professional opportunity and personal responsibility at times -- but where others would surely have to make a choice, you can often arrange things so that you are rarely if ever forced to compromise. You can serve yourself and others simultaneously.

Also born on this date are: Elizabeth Perkins, actress; Linda Evans, actress; Brenda Vaccaro, actress; Alan Shepard Jr., first American in space; Johnny Mercer, composer and songwriter.
