Your Birthday for November 22, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 22nd, 2014

Born today, you will, even at a very young age, seem to have it made -- and you will attract both admirers and critics throughout your lifetime as a result. There are some who will always be attracted to you simply because you have the air of one who belongs at the center of things. Conversely, there will be others who choose to turn away from you for the very same reason, but this says more about them than it does about you. When young, you may find criticism hard to deal with, but when you are older, you will have learned to put it behind you as soon as possible -- though not before you have listened to it very carefully, to learn what you can from it.

You're destined to do things that are long remembered -- sometimes if only for their audacity and strangeness rather than their importance or lasting qualities. You are not one to sugarcoat the truth; you will talk about things in an open, honest way, inspiring others to do the same.

Also born on this date are: Scarlett Johansson, actress; Mariel Hemingway, actress; Jamie Lee Curtis, actress; Billie Jean King, tennis player; Robert Vaughn, actor; Rodney Dangerfield, comedian; Benjamin Britten, composer; Hoagy Carmichael, singer-songwriter; Charles de Gaulle, French military leader and president; Abigail Adams, U.S. first lady.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll want to focus on the details; you have the big picture, but the little things may need to be understood more completely.

Your Birthday for November 21, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 21st, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most solid, reliable, trusted individuals born under your sign. While you may not boast the kind of fiery genius that other Scorpio natives may possess, you nevertheless should be able to develop what many cannot: the kind of track record that suggests expertise, ability and long-term success. Indeed, if you play your cards right, you may keep failure at bay throughout much of your lifetime and enjoy nothing but success -- both large and small -- as you make your way personally and professionally. You go about your business in a quiet, down-to-earth sort of way; while you do not blow your own horn, you do make remarkable headway.

You are widely liked, and even more widely admired; those who do not like you have to admit that you are an admirable individual. There are some who will choose to study you carefully, not only to learn what makes you tick, but also how you are able to score success after success. You may be widely imitated, but never equaled.

Also born on this date are: Ken Griffey Jr., baseball player; Troy Aikman, football player; Cherry Jones, actress; Goldie Hawn, actress; Juliet Mills, actress; Marlo Thomas, actress; Stan Musial, baseball player; Voltaire, satirist.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your expectations are not likely to be satisfied completely, but what you do get will allow you to consider moving in a new direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're eager to be on the move once more, after a short period of stasis. Someone who knows you well offers a new piece of information.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to work harder than usual to win over a friend who has been moving in a different direction -- but don't be too aggressive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may feel as though your usual methods are not reaping the usual results at this time. Consider taking a leaf out of another's book.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your sense of humor will serve you well as you explore issues that have others feeling on edge and uncertain.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're so used to charting your own course that it may surprise you to learn that your best bet is to follow in another's footsteps.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone else is able to do something that you've only considered in the past. A new strategy gets you off on the right foot.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A former rival may become your most trusted ally. This change is the result of an unexpected meeting of the minds.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your attitude toward a certain issue may clash with a friend's, but that is no reason for a rift. You can keep things going smoothly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can score a personal victory of sorts, but it's not the kind of thing you'll want to brag about -- at least not yet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can benefit from a little fun. Feel free to experiment with something you've gotten used to; shake things up a little.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not understand what is driving a friend away from you at this time, but it's not something by which you should feel threatened.

Your Birthday for November 20, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 20th, 2014

Born today, you have been endowed with tremendous will, inner fortitude and the ability to see the world in a certain way that allows you to imagine the way things could be even as you deal with the way they are. You are driven to succeed, perhaps because when you were young you encountered obstacles that pointed out certain personal weaknesses that have required a lifetime of commitment to overcome. You love taking on challenges that seem to be long shots. If the odds are against you, you are much more likely to apply yourself fully -- as you will often say, why fight a battle that can win itself?

You may, for a while, be in the shadow of another to whom you look up and who provides you with inspiration, knowledge and experience. Eventually, however, you will have to step into the sun and claim your own place in the world of influence and achievement. You can certainly do so if you base your work on personal belief and ethics.

Also born on this date are: Bo Derek, actress; Veronica Hamel, actress; Joe Biden, U.S. vice president; Dick Smothers, comedian; Richard Dawson, actor and game show host; Estelle Parsons, actress; Robert F. Kennedy, U.S. attorney general and senator; Alistair Cooke, journalist and television host; Edwin Hubble, astronomer.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will want things to go your way, but you want to see someone else do well at the same time. Can you have both?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep an open mind, and you'll come to an understanding of another's motives more quickly than if you held on to any preconceptions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good day to seek something that has been hidden for some time. You may be closer than you think to uncovering a valuable indicator.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone who is no longer in your life may suddenly resurface, causing you to question a recent decision and to consider a life change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you see today may not mesh with the way you have been thinking about things. What is the difference between "is" and "might be"?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Reality may give you cause for reflection, while the product of your own imagination seems far more immediate and real.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What was worked out for you once in the past may not be so easily settled this time. You're going to have to do a great deal on your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may sense that someone is trying to take advantage of you, but in reality you are simply putting yourself in a risky position.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are receiving clear instructions, yet they may be quite difficult to decipher. Follow another's lead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Forces combine to influence you against your will, but you have an ace up your sleeve and can avoid being pushed around.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're likely to find yourself involved in something that was not of your making, but only you may know how to resolve it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Observe what is going on today, but do so from a safe distance. You don't want to put yourself or someone you love in danger.
