Your Birthday for November 20, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 20th, 2013

Born today, you have quite a mischievous streak. You depend upon constant interaction with others if you are going to be truly yourself at any given time. It is almost as if the reflection of yourself that you are afforded by the perceptions of others gives you validation, confidence and enthusiasm. You can sometimes be too eager to do what has never been done before, and this can bring you in contact with people or circumstances that are quite dangerous. When you do encounter such danger, however, you are never foolhardy; you do everything you can to study the situation and formulate a plan to protect yourself and those around you.

You tend to say precisely what you are thinking, even when it is not advisable to do so, but this is a trait that others actually admire in you. They know that when you speak, you are speaking from the heart, sharing what you truly believe -- not something you have "manufactured" for public hearing.

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; Robert F. Kennedy, politician; Alistair Cooke, journalist and television personality; Edwin Hubble, astronomer.

Your Birthday for November 19, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 19th, 2013

Born today, you are an ambitious individual with a great store of energy and talent that can be combined to win you one success after another -- and not just in one type of endeavor, but many. You are never happier than when you have several irons in the fire, for then you know that even when one fails to heat to your satisfaction, you can rely on another to give you what you are after. You are quite good at presenting yourself well, even upon a first meeting -- you never underestimate the importance of first impressions.

You refuse to listen to anyone who says that a thing cannot be done, and in fact when you are faced with "no," you are more than eager to prove the naysayer wrong. At times you will encounter more than you are equipped to deal with, but you are rarely, if ever, afraid of biting off more than you can chew.

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.

Your Birthday for November 18, 2013

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 18th, 2013

Born today, you are a lively and enthusiastic individual, able at all times to see the positive elements in even the most challenging or negative of situations. You are not the kind to balk when things get tough. When something is standing in your way, you continue moving forward as best you can while considering with great care what to do when you arrive at the obstacle itself -- confident that when you get there, you will know what to do. You are quick to size up a situation, and just as quick to size up other people. However, there is sometimes the danger that you will judge too quickly and come up with the wrong ideas about someone.

You don't always want to act on an attraction, for you sometimes feel that getting involved in a relationship may actually prevent you from doing the things that you have set yourself to do. Still, love is a major part of your life -- or, at the very least, romance.

Also born on this date are: Elizabeth Perkins, actress; Sinbad, comedian; Linda Evans, actress; Brenda Vaccaro, actress; Alan Shepard Jr., first American in space; Johnny Mercer, singer-songwriter; Imogene Coca, comedian; Eugene Ormandy, violinist and conductor.
