Your Birthday for November 03, 2014

Your Birthday | November 3rd, 2014

Born today, you are not always what you seem to be, and, like many Scorpio natives, you will learn to take advantage of this fact as you make your way in life. Even as a youngster, you will claim an advantage over others around you as a result. You have a knack for getting close to others, for making them feel comfortable around you, and for fitting in -- even though you may not genuinely feel a kinship with them. Some might say this is merely opportunistic and duplicitous -- and there is something deceptive about it, to be sure. However, what makes the difference is what you do once you are "in" with the "in crowd." The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

You know how to remain in the background, unseen and unnoticed until the time comes for you to announce yourself. You do not always feel the need to position yourself front-and-center, and you can often reap the best possible results when you blend in -- something you can, in fact, do quite well.

Also born on this date are: Kate Capshaw, actress; Roseanne Barr, actress and comedian; Dennis Miller, comedian and actor; Charles Bronson, actor; Larry Holmes, boxer; Adam Ant, singer; Dolph Lundgren, actor; Jake Shimabukuro, musician and composer.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll want to get a fast start. Later, a slowdown is to be expected, but it shouldn't have any far-reaching consequences.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The promise of something more will have you moving in a direction that surprises some, but that gives you more energy and drive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Collaborative efforts may prove more difficult than usual as the day begins, but not because your communication skills are lacking.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll want to be sure that messages are reaching their intended target. Focus on efficiency, and be sure to use your own words.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A quick, occasional look around will allow you to get your bearings. Don't assume things will fall out the way you expect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It's time to get moving in a direction that affords you more in the way of professional and personal choices.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is the time for you to communicate your desires more effectively, especially to that one friend or loved one who is on the outs.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A change of scenery or venue will serve you well as you look for inspiration. Guidance comes to you as needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're in need of something a little special, and you know just where to find it. A friend knows you'll be knocking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're going to have to set aside your doubts about a certain situation and move ahead more confidently.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You won't be far from the center of the action. Give yourself time to adjust to changing circumstances, and be willing to say yes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are in a position that will afford you a bit more time to get things done. Don't let that go to your head, however!

Your Birthday for November 02, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 2nd, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most curious individuals born under your sign. This can manifest itself on one of two ways -- or, very likely, in both: 1) You can be compelled to learn as much about the world as possible in order to make some lasting contribution to the human race, or 2) you can be compelled to insinuate yourself into other people's business and earn the moniker "busybody"! The first, obviously, is the more desirable track, and you can indeed accomplish much in your lifetime if you follow your instincts and satisfy your native curiosity in significant ways. The second is not something that anyone yearns for, and you can avoid it by keeping yourself busy in legitimate ways.

If you ignore those around you, you will be doing both them and yourself a disservice, for you were born to care, help and contribute. Ignorance of the world around you can only do you harm -- and ultimately keep you from fulfilling your destiny or reaching your personal goals.

Also born on this date are: Shere Hite, author and researcher; Ann Rutherford, actress; Marie Antoinette, queen of France; k.d. lang, singer; Stefanie Powers, actress; Burt Lancaster, actor; Daniel Boone, pioneer and folk hero; Ray Walston, actor.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's a good time for you to show another just what you're made of, but you don't want to be too aggressive or intrusive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Weigh your options with great care. What seems to be simple may prove quite complex, and vice versa. Give someone a second chance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not be able to support your point of view in the way that you had hoped. Still, few are likely to challenge you directly.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The one you're following may make a few key errors. It may be time for you to take on the mantle of leadership.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not think you can be seen or heard when engaging in questionable activity, but someone surely has his or her eye on you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- That which presents itself in a clear and concise order may actually prove to be quite complicated upon closer scrutiny.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may want to take things apart in order to put them back together and make them better than they were before. You have the knowledge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to endure some punitive correction as a result of an error that has far-reaching ramifications. Don't repeat this incident!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- What begins as a quick and easy adjustment is likely to turn into something that takes much more time and effort.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're not sitting in the prime position at this time, and you'll have to give way to someone who is above you as a matter of course.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Fast is slow, and slow is fast, and many other things are likely to take on what seems to be the opposite character. It's an odd day!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're curious to learn how something started that you're having trouble ending. Certain key information doesn't add up.

Your Birthday for November 01, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 1st, 2014

Born today, you are something of an oddball, in that you don't seem to fit into any one group in the expected way. What is remarkable, however, is that despite this, you are able to mix with almost any group of people with ease. Your ability to communicate, listen and share with others is perhaps your greatest strength. You genuinely care about others, and though there may be some who cynically assert that this is motivated by self-interest, the fact is that they are merely jealous of you and your ability to reach out and make a difference in the lives of those around you.

You are full of good ideas, and you are always looking for ways to put those ideas into motion. You are never at a loss for words when you feel there is something important on the line; you will express yourself openly, honestly and effectively in order to make an impact, with the hope of inspiring those around you to action.

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.

Also born on this date are: Jenny McCarthy, television personality; Lyle Lovett, singer-songwriter and musician; Robert Foxworth, actor; Stephen Crane, author; Toni Collette, actress.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your individual taste may differ dramatically from that of someone in charge. Discussion and negotiation is sure to result.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A volatile situation is calmed when you step onto the stage and say what you know must be said. Don't miss out on this opportunity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can help someone complete a project without showing him or her exactly how to do it. Your words and guidance should be enough.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may think that something is going to work perfectly, but a lesson can be learned when things don't pan out as expected.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take no shortcuts. Focus on the things that you know how to do better than anyone else -- you know exactly what those things are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not be able to call it a day when others do. As a result, you must be prepared to miss out on some social time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Know the talking points! When you find yourself in close proximity to those who can help, you don't want to be at a loss for words.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Remember the adage, "If at first you don't succeed ..." You're likely to have more than one chance to correct unconscious errors.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll want to watch the tone you use when instructing others. Avoid anything that sounds aggressive or impatient.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're trying to put together an important project from the ground up, and waiting may be your hardest single task.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- With the help of others, you can put all the pieces in place and enjoy what you have wrought in a way that was unexpected.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- When the day is done, you'll want to be able to put everything behind you -- so be sure that you don't add fuel to any fires.
