Your Birthday | November 21st, 2013

Born today, you are one of the most self-aware individuals born under your sign, and the fact that you know so much about yourself is sure to see you through all manner of situations, both professionally and personally. You are likely to be widely admired for your confidence, your personal stature and your sense of style, for it is only one who really knows him- or herself, and who can stand gracefully in all situations, who can truly radiate your brand of confidence. You are equally comfortable in formal situations and those that are more down-to-earth and casual. You enjoy having fun, but you are aware that you must not treat everything like a game.

You're likely to enjoy a rare kind of professional longevity, but this is mostly because you are sure to enter into a profession that inspires you and provides you with a great deal of contentment and reward. You are not likely to experience any personal or professional ennui in your life.

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.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You must not deny another's needs and wants, just as you must not deny your own. If both you and he are satisfied, progress can be made.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is your last chance to speak your mind to someone you may not see again for quite some time. Besides, this is your best opportunity yet!

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.
